Enabling and Disabling Management Access
The IntraCore 3524 supports configurable management access for VLANs. By default, management access is enabled, and all devices connected to the switch in a VLAN can communicate with the switch management agent.
Important! You can disable management access for a VLAN. If security is a concern for members of a particular VLAN, disabling management access for that VLAN will prevent any member of that VLAN from attempting to change the switch’s configuration.
To enable or disable management access for this VLAN, from the VLAN Group Static Configuration Menu, type s to select the VLAN, then type t to toggle management access.
Important! Do not disable Management Access if you are using only the default VLAN.
Adding/Moving Port Members
To add ports as members of the VLAN, from the VLAN Group Static Configuration Menu, type m. Follow the instructions on the screen to enter the port number to assign to the VLAN. Adding a port to a VLAN does not affect the port’s status on any other VLAN.
Deleting Port Members
To delete ports as members of the VLAN, from the VLAN Group Static Configuration Menu, type d. Follow the instructions on the screen to enter the port number to delete from the VLAN. Deleting a port from a VLAN does not affect the port’s status on any other VLAN.
