Internal Management VLAN 

4094 

Not exposed 

Not exposed outside the platform. 
Used exclusively by the platform 

management for internal 
communication. This VLAN cannot 

be changed. 

INTERNAL_IPMI_VLAN 

4093*

 

4093*

 

Used through the platform to access 

the different management devices: 

system monitor, MSP node BMCs, 
and switch Web GUI and CLI. The 

Management port is configured to 
access this VLAN by default. 

INTERNAL_DATA_VLAN 

10

 

 

Used to segregate data/payload 
traffic inside the MS1300 platform.  
This VLAN is not present by default 
on the platform. It is used for 
example purposes in the 
configuration shown for this use 

case.

This IP is used for example purposes 

in the configuration shown for this 
use case. It represents the IP of your 

Management ToR switch. 

Management ToR switch VLAN 

4093 

 

This VLAN is used for example 
purposes in the configuration 
shown for this use case. It 

represents the VLAN of your 

Management ToR switch. 

Payload/Data ToR switch IP 

192.168.10.254/24 

 

This IP is used for example purposes 
in the configuration shown for this 

use case. It represents the IP of your 
Payload/Data ToR switch. 

Payload/Data ToR switch VLAN 

10 
 

 

This VLAN is used for example 
purposes in the configuration 
shown for this use case. It 

represents the VLAN of your 
Payload/Data ToR switch. 

 

 

 

 

  *Management VLAN 4093 can be changed. However, this application note does not cover 

all the steps to perform this change. There are multiple modifications to be done in the 
switch configuration and the BMC configuration (ShMC and MSP node BMCs).
