Enabling an ICX Device to Be Managed by SmartZone

There are several ways to make an ICX device aware of the SmartZone IP address:

• Use switch registrar discovery.
• Use DHCP option 43.
• Configure the ICX device manually using FastIron commands.

All of these methods are supported for new ICX switches with no configuration as well as for ICX switches with existing configuration.

Beginning with 09.0.10h, access to the ICX device through web management may change when the device is connected to SmartZone.

• When WebAuth is not configured on the ICX switch and then is connected to SmartZone, web management is disabled and the CLI command web-management disable is then added to the running configuration. To enable web-management, enter no web-management disable on the ICX device.
• When an ICX device is configured with WebAuth on any VLAN and then is connected to SmartZone there is no change in the web management behavior. If WebAuth is disabled later, access to web management will stay enabled until the next time the device is connected to SmartZone.
• When an ICX device is connected to SmartZone and then WebAuth is enabled on any VLAN, enter no web-management disable on the ICX device to enable web management.
• When a device has web management disabled, if a user enabled the WebAuth configuration, it will not work until no web-management disable is entered on the device.
