Chapter 15 Layer 3 Management Configuration; Layer 3 Management Interface; Introduction To Layer 3 Management Interface; Layer 3 Interface Configuration Task List - Planet Networking & Communication WGSW-50040 Configuration Manual

Switch only support Layer 2 forwarding, but can configure a Layer 3 management port for the communication
of all kinds of management protocols based on the IP protocol.

15.1 Layer 3 Management Interface

15.1.1 Introduction to Layer 3 Management Interface

Only one layer 3 management interface can be created on switch. The Layer 3 interface is not a physical
interface but a virtual interface. Layer 3 interface is built on VLANs. The Layer 3 interface can contain one or
more layer 2 ports which belong to the same VLAN, or contain no layer 2 ports. At least one of the Layer 2
ports contained in Layer 3 interface should be in UP state for Layer 3 interface in UP state, otherwise, Layer 3
interface will be in DOWN state. The switch can use the IP addresses set in the layer 3 management interface
to communicate with the other devices via IP.
