Chapter 18: Virtual LANs
Section IV: VLANs 434
Now let’s assume that you decided to create a VLAN called NMS with a
VID of 24 for the sole purpose of remote network management. For this,
you would need to create the NMS VLAN on each AT-8400 Series switch
that you want to manage remotely, being sure to assign each NMS VLAN
the VID of 24. You would need to be sure that the uplink and downlink
ports connecting the switches together are untagged members of the
NMS VLAN. And you would also need to specify the NMS VLAN as the
management VLAN on each switch using the management software.
Finally, you must be sure to connect your management station to a port
on a switch that is an untagged member of the management VLAN. (This
last step does not apply if you are managing the enhanced stack
through the RS-232 port on the management card in one of the
switches.)
To specify the management VLAN in the AT-S60 software, do the
following:
1. From the Main Menu, type 2 to select VLAN Menu.
The VLAN Menu is shown in Figure 133 on page 421.
2. From the VLAN Menu, type 1 to select Configure VLAN.
The Configure VLAN Menu is shown in Figure 133 on page 421.
3. From the Configure VLAN menu, type 1 to select Set Management
VLAN ID.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter Management VLAN ID [1 to 4094] ->
4. Specify the VID of the VLAN that is to function as the management
VLAN.
Note
The VLAN must already exist on the switch.
The following prompt is displayed:
SUCCESS - Press any key to continue...
5. Press any key.
6. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then
type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
