Now let’s assume that you decide to create a VLAN called NMS with a VID
of 24 for the sole purpose of remote Telnet, SSH, and web browser
network management of your switches. For this, you would need to
create the NMS VLAN on each AT-8500 Series switch that you want to
manage remotely, being sure to assign each NMS VLAN the VID of 24.
Then you would need to be sure that the uplink and downlink ports
connecting the switches together are either tagged or untagged
members of the NMS VLAN. You would also need to specify the NMS
VLAN as the management VLAN on each switch using the management
software. Finally, you must be sure to connect your management station
to a port on a switch that is a tagged or untagged member of the
management VLAN.

Note

You cannot specify a management VLAN when the switch is
operating in a multiple VLAN mode.

To set the management VLAN, do the following:

1. From the Home Page, select Configuration.

2. Select the Layer 2 menu selection.

3. Select the VLAN tab.

The VLAN tab is shown in Figure 101 on page 271.

4. For the Mgmt. VLAN ID parameter, enter the VID of the VLAN on the

switch that is to function as the management VLAN. The VLAN must
already exist on the switch. The default is 1, which is the VID of the
Default_VLAN.

5. Click Apply.

The change in the designated management VLAN is immediately
activated on the switch.

6. To permanently save the change, select the Save Config menu

selection.
