Preparation
1. Determine a VID and VLAN name suitable for your Management VLAN.
2. Determine the IP addressing for the Management VLAN (
DHCP/Bootp
or
Manual
.
3. Plan your Management VLAN topology to use ProCurve switches that
support this feature. (See the list on page 2-34.) The ports belonging to the
Management VLAN should be only the following:
• Ports to which you will connect authorized management stations
(such as Port A7 in figure 2-28.)
• Ports on one switch that you will use to extend the Management VLAN
to ports on other ProCurve switches (such as ports A1 and B2 or B4
and C2 in figure 2-28 on page 2-36.).
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.
N o t e
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.
