HPswitch (config)# vlan 100 tagged a1k

HPswitch (config)# vlan 100 tagged a2

Deleting the Management VLAN. You can disable the Secure Manage­ ment feature without deleting the VLAN itself. For example, either of the following commands disables the Secure Management feature in the above example:

HPswitch (config)# no management-vlan 100k

HPswitch (config)# no management-vlan my_vlank

Operating Notes for Management VLANs

On Series 5300XL switches with routing enabled, routing between the Management VLAN and other VLANs is not allowed.

If there are more than 25 VLANs configured on the switch, reboot the switch after configuring the management VLAN. (HP Series 5300XL switches only.)

If you implement a Management VLAN in a switch mesh environment, all meshed ports on Series 5300XL switches will be members of the Manage­ ment VLAN.

Only one Management-VLAN can be active in the switch. If one Manage­ ment-VLAN VID is saved in the startup-config file and you configure a different VID in the running-config file, the switch uses the running-config version until you either use the write-memorycommand or reboot the switch.

During a Telnet session to the switch, if you configure the Management- VLAN to a VID that excludes the port through which you are connected to the switch, you will continue to have access only until you terminate the session by logging out or rebooting the switch.

During a web browser session to the switch, if you configure the Manage­ ment-VLAN to a VID that excludes the port through which you are connected to the switch, you will continue to have access only until you close the browser session or rebooting the switch.
