This process would be repeated on every switch that is connected in the network to ensure that
each switch has a secure Management VLAN for switch management.
If the switch was connected to another switch via port 7, which was set as a 1Q Trunk port, then
the management station connected to the Management VLAN port of either switch could manage
both switches.
NOTE: The management stations at each switch must be on the same Management
VLAN.
No matter how many switches are connected, a management station connected to any port on the
same Management VLAN can be used to remotely manage any Cabletron Systems 802.1Q switch
in the network as long as the Host Data Port of all the switches are members of the same
Management VLAN.
