Static Virtual LANs (VLANs)

Port-Based Virtual LANs (Static VLANs)

The Secure Management VLAN

Configures a secure Management VLAN by creating an isolated network for managing the following ProCurve switches that support this feature:

Series 2600 switches

Series 3400cl switches

Series 2600-PWR switches

Series 4100gl switches

Series 2610 switches

Series 4200vl switches

Series 2610-PWR switches

Series 5300xl switches

Series 2800 switches

Series 5400zl switches

Switch 2810

Switch 6108

Series 2510/2510G switches

Series 6400cl switches

Access to this VLAN, and to the switch’s management functions (Menu, CLI, and Web browser interface) is available only through ports configured as members.

Multiple ports on the switch can belong to the Management VLAN. This allows connections for multiple management stations you want to have access to the Management VLAN, while at the same time allowing Man- agement VLAN links between switches configured for the same Manage- ment VLAN.

Only traffic from the Management VLAN can manage the switch, which means that only the workstations and PCs connected to ports belonging to the Management VLAN can manage and reconfigure the switch.

Figure 2-24illustrates use of the Management VLAN feature to support management access by a group of management workstations.
