General Operating Rules

General Operating Rules
Uplink and downlink ports cannot be members of the same VLAN.
Switch 5300xl features used to manage ports that are connected to
bridges don't apply, as the ACM is not a bridge.
A client VLAN containing the downlink port, <slot-id>DP, is automat­
ically created when the ACM is installed in a 5300xl switch. The VID
for this VLAN is the vlan-base (default: 2000). You cannot remove a
client VLAN if it is the only remaining VLAN with the downlink port
as a member.
Client VLANs may not be configured as the Management or Primary
VLAN on the 5300xl switch.
Multiple subnets on a downlink client port are not supported.
Shut down the ACM
• before resetting or reloading the 5300xl chassis
• before turning off the 5300xl chassis.
• before removing the module from the 5300xl chassis.
See the shutdown command in "ACM Configuration Commands Summary
and Syntax" on page 20.

Configuring the ACM on the Network

By default, the ACM uses DHCP to get an IP address. The uplink port of the
ACM must be an untagged member of a VLAN that can communicate with the
740wl/760wl. If that communication is routed, the Default gateway: needs to be
present in the IP address configuration. When the IP address is assigned
manually be sure to configure the Default gateway: if it is needed. (See "Using
the ACM's Extended CLI" on page 27.)
Use the following commands to configure an IP address manually.
'HPswitch' is used as a generic prompt for all 5300xl switches. The term 'id' is
used below for 'slot-id' to shorten the command prompt.
