40 Dell Campus Networking Interoperability with Cisco Catalyst 1.1 | version 1.1
defined. To create a Management VLAN or SVI, create a VLAN interface and then add an IP address to this
interface.
2.11.1 Configuring Management VLAN — Dell N-Series
The example below shows the commands for setting up a management VLAN on the Dell Networking N3000.
After creating a username and password for remote access to the switch, create a VLAN and assign it an IP
address. Assign trunk ports to be attached to the Cisco Catalyst or other switch. Finally, configure a single
access port, though any number of ports may be added and used in the management VLAN.
Running the commands below on the Dell Networking N3000 switch makes vlan 30 a management VLAN,
allowing in-band management to the switch.
N3024#configure
N3024(config)#vlan 30
N3024(config-vlan30)#name “Management”
N3024(config-vlan)#exit
N3024(config)#interface vlan 30
N3024(config-if-vlan30)#ip address 192.168.30.50 255.255.255.0
N3024(config-if-vlan30)#exit
A telnet session is now allowed into the Dell Networking switch through the EtherChannel 5, which is trunk
enabled, to in-band management VLAN 30.
