Switch Management With Vlans - Enterasys SmartSwitch 2200 Series 2E253 User Manual

Figure 12-4 Switch Management with VLANs
To set up the switch shown in
following process:
1. Use the Static VLAN Configuration screen to define a new VLAN named "Management
VLAN" (or other suitable name) and its VLAN ID. In this example, the VLAN ID is set to 2.
An FDB ID is automatically assigned by the switch, so that the Management VLAN has its
filtering database to make the VLAN secure. In this example, the FDB ID is 2 and no other
VLAN is assigned to this FDB ID. This keeps the new VLAN from sharing its filtering database
with other VLANs in the switch.
2. Use the Static VLAN Egress Configuration screen to associate the ports to particular VLANs.
For details on defining a Static VLAN, refer to
3. Use the Static VLAN Egress Configuration screen to select the type of Egress setting for each
port. When a port is set as Tagged, a VLAN tag is inserted into each frame transmitted out the
port to associate it with the VLAN specified at the top of the screen.
4. Use the VLAN Port Configuration screen to enter the VLAN ID, 2, of the new Management
VLAN as the Port VLAN ID (PVID) to a port. In this example, it is port 1. Leave the Acceptable
Frame Types setting in the default value, ADMIT ALL FRAMES.
NOTE: It is not necessary to configure a physical port for management on each switch.
Only those switches that will have a management station attached to it need a physical
port assigned to the Management VLAN.
