VLAN ID-Management
The VLAN-ID Management is applicable for all link types. It enables
defining the VLAN ID for management frames, which identifies remote
stations for management purposes. This applies to all management
applications using protocols such as SNMP, TFTP, ICMP (ping) and Telnet.
All servers/stations using these protocols must tag the management
frames sent to the unit with the value of the VLAN ID - Management
parameter.
Valid values: 1 to 4094 or 65535 (No VLAN).
The default value is 65535.
If the VLAN ID – Management is other than 65535:
♦ Only tagged management frames with a matching VLAN ID received on
either the Ethernet or wireless link ports are forwarded to the unit.
♦ A VLAN Management Tag is inserted in all management frames
generated by the unit before transmission on either the Ethernet or
wireless link port. The tag includes the values of the
VLAN ID - Management and the VLAN Priority - Management
parameters.
If the VLAN ID - Management is 65535 (No VLAN):
♦ Only untagged management frames received on either the Ethernet or
wireless link ports are forwarded to the unit.
♦ Management frames generated by the unit are not tagged.
The following table summarizes the functionality of the internal
management port in accordance with the value of the
VLAN ID - Management parameter. The table is valid for all link types.
Refer to the VLAN Link Type – Access Link and Trunk Link options for
some restrictions when configuring this parameter.
