Figure 2-4 System unit configurations for the management interface
Connecting with Tag-VLAN to management interface
When connecting to the management interface, Tag-VLAN (IEEE802.1Q) can
be used between MGMT0/MGMT1 port and external switch. For examples, you
can build the following configuration.
• Each server blade belongs to different VLAN to improve the security level
by prohibiting physical connection to other server blades.
• Each module belongs to different VLAN, and the network is separated
clearly according to the managed items.
(When only MGMT0 and MGMT1 are not enough)
VLAN can be created up to 13, and the creatable VLAN ID is 2 to 4000.
Note: The created VLAN must include MGMT0 or MGMT1. MGMT0 and MGMT1
can not belong to same VLAN.
