Management Vlan - KTI Networks KGS-0841-W User Manual

4.4.1 Management VLAN

Management VLAN settings allow administrator to access the switch and perform the switch management over
a dedicated VLAN.
The following rules are applied with the Management VLAN:
1. If [Management VLAN] setting is zero, no VLAN limitation is applied in accessing the switch
web management interface.
2. If [Management VLAN] setting is not zero, the switch web (http) server only replies to the
management hosts located in the matched VLAN group. That means the egress port will be
limited in the member ports of the matched VLAN group.
3. The switch web (http) server can accept untagged or tagged management accessing packets. Reply
to the web access host based on the following rule:
Incoming web access packets
Untagged packets
Tagged packets
4. The system will cross-check VLAN group table and reject un-existing VLAN setting during
configuring Management VLAN value.
5. If VLAN group configuration causes a result that no VLAN group matches the management
VLAN setting, the management VLAN setting will be reset to zero by the system automatically.
Notes:
1. To apply management VLAN function, be sure to configure a VLAN group that matches the
management VLAN first.
2. No matter how management VLAN is configured, login password authentication is still required.
