Deleting the Management VLAN

You can disable the Secure Management feature without deleting the VLAN
itself. For example, either of the following commands disables the Secure
Management feature in the above example:
HP Switch(config)# no management-vlan 100
HP Switch(config)# no management-vlan my_vlan

Operating Notes for Management VLANs

Use only a static, port-based VLAN for the Management VLAN.
■
■ The Management VLAN feature applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.
■ The Management VLAN does not support IGMP operation.
Routing between the Management VLAN and other VLANs is not allowed.
■
If there are more than 25 VLANs configured on the switch, reboot the
■
switch after configuring the management VLAN.
■ If you implement a Management VLAN in a switch mesh environment, all
meshed ports on the switch will be members of the Management VLAN.
Only one Management-VLAN can be active in the switch. If one Manage-
■
ment-VLAN VID is saved in the startup-config file and you configure a
different VID in the running-config file, the switch uses the running-config
version until you either use the write-memory command or reboot the
switch.
■ During a Telnet session to the switch, if you configure the Management-
VLAN to a VID that excludes the port through which you are connected
to the switch, you will continue to have access only until you terminate
the session by logging out or rebooting the switch.
During a WebAgent session, if you configure the Management-VLAN to a
■
VID that excludes the port through which you are connected to the switch,
you will continue to have access only until you close the browser session
or reboot the switch.
The Management-VLAN feature does not control management access through
a direct connection to the switch's serial port.
■ Enabling Spanning Tree where there are multiple links using separate
VLANs, including the Management VLAN, between a pair of switches,
Spanning Tree will force the blocking of one or more links. This may
include the link carrying the Management VLAN, which will cause loss of
management access to some devices. This can also occur where meshing
is configured and the Management VLAN is configured on a separate link.
