Static Virtual LANs (VLANs)
Special VLAN Types
■Any ports not specifically assigned to another VLAN will remain assigned to the Default VLAN, regardless of whether it is the Primary VLAN.
Candidates for Primary VLAN include any static,
N o t e | If you configure a |
| that VLAN unless you first select a different VLAN to serve as primary. |
| If you manually configure a gateway on the switch, it ignores any gateway |
| address received via DHCP or Bootp. |

The Secure Management VLAN
Configuring a secure Management VLAN creates an isolated network for managing the ProCurve switches that support this feature. If you configure a secure Management VLAN, access to the 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 Management VLAN links between switches configured for the same Management 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.
