Note: Be aware that a statically or DHCP-assigned IP address is accessible from within that subnet
by a host directly connected to the interface (via a switch) but if you need to connect to the console
from a host on a different subnet, you must configure a static route to that host. Refer to the Matrix X
Router Command Line Interface Reference Guide for more information.
