2.11.2 Configuring Management VLAN — Cisco Catalyst
Run the commands below on the Cisco Catalyst switch to create an SVI, which allows in-band management
to the switch.
C6504#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
C6504(config)#vlan 30
C6504(config-vlan)#name "In-Band Management"
C6504(config-vlan)#exit
% Applying VLAN changes may take few minutes. Please wait...
C6504(config)#interface vlan 30
C6504(config-if)#ip address 192.168.30.51 255.255.255.0
C6504(config-if)#no shutdown
C6504(config-if)#end
6504#show ip interface brief | i Vlan
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Vlan1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
Vlan30 192.168.30.51 YES NVRAM up up
Using this configuration, it is possible to reach both switches through the in-band management VLAN 30. In
this example, telnet 192.168.30.50 accesses the Dell Networking switch, and telnet 192.168.30.51 accesses
the Cisco switch.
Note: Other basic setup configurations might be necessary for the Dell Networking N3000 or Cisco Catalyst
6504 switches, such as a DHCP option for management VLANs, enabling SSH, assigning a domain server,
changing native VLANs or assigning a domain name. Configuration steps for these features on the N3000-
series are found in the Dell Networking N3000 User Configuration Guide.
