Management Port
Access to the management software can also be controlled by the selection of a management
port. The selected management port is auto-configured to be an untagged member of the
management VLAN and is excluded from any other untagged VLANs.
When the switch boots with the default configuration, any port can be used as management
port and this field is configured as None.
You can configure a management port to ensure that a port always remains an untagged
member of the configured management VLAN; this helps to ensure management connectivity
in case of an accidental change in VLAN membership.
If no management port is specified, then all ports that are members of the management VLAN
provide access to the switch management interface. If a management port is configured,
access to the switch is restricted to that port. For example, if VLAN 1 is the management
VLAN and port 10 is the management port, other ports that are members of VLAN 1 will not
provide access to the switch management interface.
The features that utilize the management port include the following:
DHCP
SNMP
SNTP
TFTP
SNMP
SNMP
Enable or disable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). If enabled, the
administrator can view switch data using an SNMPv1/v2c manager. The switch supports
read-only access to a limited set of MIBs.
SNMP is enabled by default.
Community Name
Specify a community name or use the default name,
public
.
The switch supports the following MIBs:
BRIDGE-MIB (IEEE 802.1Q)
LLDP-MIB (IEEE 802.3AB)
EtherLike-MIB
IF-MIB
RFC1213-MIB
RMON-MIB (RMON History as in v1)
Power Ethernet MIB (RFC3621), only on switches that support PoE+. (No SNMP infor-
mation is available on configured PoE schedules.)
NOTE:
A power cycle does not reset the IP address to its factory-default value. If the configured IP address
is unknown, you can perform a manual reset to factory defaults to regain access to the switch (see
“Factory Defaults” on page 84
).
NOTE:
Changing the management port from the default configuration not only restricts access to the web UI
but also impacts the following protocols: DHCP, SNMP, SNTP, and TFTP.
