Now assume that you decide to create a VLAN called NMS with a VID of
24 for the sole purpose of remote network management. For this, you
need to create the NMS VLAN on each AT-8524M switch that you want
to manage remotely, being sure to assign each NMS VLAN the VID of 24.
Then you 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 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.
Note
To change the management VLAN on the switch’s of an enhanced
stack, your best policy is probably to establish a local management
session with each switch and change it through the local session,
rather than through enhanced stacking. Changing a switch’s
management VLAN through enhanced stacking will prematurely
end your management session, which you will not be able to
reestablish, at least until you change the management VLAN on the
master switch.
To specify a management VLAN, do the following:
1. From the Main Menu, type 2 to select VLAN Configuration.
The VLAN Configuration menu is shown in Figure 125 on page 400.
2. From the VLAN Configuration menu, type 3 to select Management
VLAN.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter Management VLAN ID [1 to 4094] ->
3. Specify the VID of the VLAN that is to function as the management
VLAN. This VLAN must already exist on the switch.
The following prompt is displayed:
SUCCESS
Press any key to continue ...
4. Press any key.
5. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then
type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
