-
Determine a VID and VLAN name suitable for your Management VLAN.
-
Plan your topology to use HP switches that support Management VLANs.
-
Include only the following ports:
-
Ports to which you will connect authorized management stations, such as Port A7 in Management VLAN control in a LAN.
-
Ports on one switch that you will use to extend the Management VLAN to ports on other HP switches, such as ports A1 and Management VLAN control in a LAN.
-
-
Half-duplex repeaters dedicated to connecting management stations to the Management VLAN can also be included in this topology. Note that any device connected to a half-duplex repeater in the Management VLAN will also have Management VLAN access.
-
Test the Management VLAN from all of the management stations authorized to use it, including any SNMP-based network management stations. Also test any Management VLAN links between switches.

NOTE: If you configure a Management VLAN on a switch using a Telnet connection through a port not in the Management VLAN, you will lose management contact with the switch if you log off your Telnet connection or execute |
