• Ports to which you will connect authorized management stations
(such as Port A7 in figure 11-21.)
• Ports on one switch that you will use to extend the Management VLAN
to ports on other HP Procurve switches (such as ports A1 and B2 or
B4 and C2 in figure 11-21 on page 11-27.).
Hubs dedicated to connecting management stations to the Management VLAN
can also be included in the above topology. Note that any device connected
to a hub in the Management VLAN will also have Management VLAN access.
4. Configure the Management VLAN on the selected switch ports.
5. Test the management VLAN from all of the management stations autho-
rized to use the Management VLAN, including any SNMP-based network
management stations. Ensure that you include testing any Management
VLAN links between switches.
If you configure a Management VLAN on a switch by using a Telnet connection
through a port that is not in the Management VLAN, then you will lose
management contact with the switch if you log off your Telnet connection or
execute write memory and reboot the switch.
Configuration
Syntax: [ no ] management-vlan < vlan-id | vlan-name >
show vlan-info
Default: Disabled
For example, suppose you have already configured a VLAN named My_VLAN
with a VID of 100 in a Switch 2650 or Switch 6108. Now you want to configure
the switch to do the following:
Use My_VLAN as a Management VLAN (tagged, in this case) to connect
I
port A1 on switch "A" to a management station. (The management station
includes a network interface card with 802.1Q tagged VLAN capability.)
Use port A2 to extend the Management VLAN to port B1 (which is already
I
configured as a tagged member of My_VLAN) on an adjacent Switch 2650
or Switch 6108.
