Now let’s assume that you decide to create a VLAN called NMS with a VID
of 24 for the sole purpose of remote network management of your
switches. For this, you would 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 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.
The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by
default, as shown in Figure 194 on page 586.
2. From the Configuration menu, select Layer 2.
The Layer 2 page is displayed with the MAC Address tab selected
by default, as shown in Figure 208 on page 622.
3. Select the VLAN tab.
The VLAN tab is shown in Figure 275 on page 762.
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.
6. To permanently save the change, use the Save Changes button in the
General tab. For directions, refer to Saving Your Parameter Changes
on page 577.
