13.8.3 Switch with VLANs

If the switch is to be configured for multiple VLANs, it may be desirable to configure a
management-only VLAN. This allows a management station connected to the management VLAN
to manage all ports on the switch and make management secure by preventing management via
ports assigned to other VLANs.
NOTE: The switch's virtual Host Data Port, like any other port, has VLAN membership
that may be configured. For manageability of the device to be maintained, this port must
be a member of the same VLAN as the port to which the management station is
connected.
Figure 13-4 shows an example of a switch configured with port 1 on the Management VLAN port
and the other users belonging to VLANs A, B, and C.
