VLAN Configuration

5.Use the VLAN Port Configuration screen to enter the VLAN ID, 2, of the new Management VLAN as the Port VLAN ID (PVID) to the Host Data Port. The port number will depend on the device. This port is not a physical port and will usually be one number above the maximum number of physical ports on the device, including the ports on any optional interfaces installed. In this example, it will be port 8. Set the Acceptable Frame Types setting to the setting: ADMIT VLAN ALL FRAMES. For details on assigning a PVID, refer to Section 7.7.

This process would be repeated on every switch that is connected in the network to ensure that each switch has a secure Management VLAN for switch management.

If the switch was connected to another switch via port 7, which was set to pass only tagged frames, then the management station connected to the Management VLAN port of either switch could manage both switches

NOTE: The management stations at each switch must be on the same Management VLAN.

No matter how many switches are connected, a management station connected to any port on the same Management VLAN can be used to remotely manage any Enterasys Networks 802.1Q switch in the network as long as the Host Data Port of all the switches are members of the same Management VLAN.
