Port-Based Virtual LANs (VLANs) and GVRP
Port-Based Virtual LANs (Static VLANs)
• 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.
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.
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 Series 4100GL switch. Now you want to configure the
switch to do the following:
■ Use
My_VLAN
as a Management VLAN (tagged, in this case) to connect
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
configured as a tagged member of
My_VLAN ) on an adjacent Series 4100GL
switch.
