Now let’s assume that you have decided to create a VLAN called NMS
with a VID of 24 for the sole purpose of remote network management.
For this, you would need to create the NMS VLAN on each AT-8316F or
AT-8324 Switch that you wish to manage remotely, being sure to assign
each NMS VLAN the VID of 24. 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.

To specify the management VLAN in the AT-S25 software, perform the
following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 2 to select VLAN Menu.

2. From the VLAN Menu, type 3 to select Management VLAN.

The following prompt is displayed:

Enter Management VLAN ID [1 to 2048] ->

3. Specify the VID of the VLAN that is to function as the management

VLAN. This VLAN must already exist on the switch. Press the Enter key.

The following prompt is displayed:

SUCCESS - Press any key to continue ...

4. Press any key to continue.

5. Type S to select Save Configuration changes.
