3. Specify the VLAN ID for the management VLAN.
The management VLAN is used to establish an IP connection to the switch from a
workstation that is connected to a port in the same VLAN. If not specified, the active
management VLAN ID is 1 (default), which allows an IP connection to be established
through any port.
When the management VLAN is set to a different value, an IP connection can be made
only through a port that is part of the management VLAN. It is also mandatory that the
port VLAN ID (PVID) of the port to be connected in that management VLAN be the same
as the management VLAN ID.
The management VLAN has the following requirements:
• Only one management VLAN can be active at a time.
• When a new management VLAN is configured, connectivity through the existing
management VLAN is lost.
• The management station should be reconnected to the port in the new management
VLAN.
Note: Make sure that the VLAN to be configured as the management
VLAN exists. And make sure that the PVID of at least one port that is
a port of the VLAN is the same as the management VLAN ID. For
information about creating VLANs and configuring the PVID for a
port, see
