Section II: Local and Telnet Management

Now assume that you decide to create a VLAN called NMS with a VID of
24 for the sole purpose of remote network management. For this, you
need to create the NMS VLAN on each AT-8000 Series switch you want to
manage remotely, being sure to assign each NMS VLAN the VID of 24.
Then you need to be sure that the uplink and downlink ports connecting
the switches together are either tagged or untagged members of the
NMS VLAN. You 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
a tagged or untagged member of the management VLAN.
Note
You cannot specify a management VLAN when the switch is
operating in a multiple VLAN mode.
To specify a management VLAN, do the following:
1. From the Main Menu, type 2 to select VLAN Menu.
2. From the VLAN Menu, type 4 to select Management VLAN.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter Management VLAN ID [1 to 4094] ->
3. Specify the VID of the VLAN that is to function as the management
VLAN. This VLAN must already exist on the switch.
The following prompt is displayed:
SUCCESS - Press any key to continue ...
4. Press any key.
5. Type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
