Note that care must be taken when configuring VLAN for the management port; if the configuration is not correct,
it will render the VES-1000 Series Switch unreachable from the remote management station. The following are
guidelines for tagged VLAN configuration:

• Reserve one VID specifically for management purpose. Assign that VID to be the management VLAND ID.

• Make sure the member set of the management VID includes the uplink port through which the management

station talks to the VES. If you don’t know which uplink port it is, include both uplink ports in the member
set of the management VID. It generally does no harm in doing this, since typically both uplink ports talk to
each other already.
