Deleting the Management VLAN. You can disable the Secure Manage­
ment feature without deleting the VLAN itself. For example, either of the
following commands disables the Secure Management feature in the above
example:
HPswitch (config)# no management-vlan 100
HPswitch (config)# no management-vlan my_vlan
Operating Notes for Management VLANs
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 web browser session to the switch, if you configure the Manage­
■
ment-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 rebooting 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.
