3Com Switch 4200G Configuration Guide

48 CHAPTER 10: MANAGEMENT VLAN CONFIGURATION
Configuring the
Management VLAN
■ To configure the management VLAN of a switch operating as a cluster
management device to be a cluster management VLAN (using the
management-vlan vlan-id command) successfully, make sure the vlan-id
argument provided in the management-vlan vlan-id command is consistent with
that of the management VLAN.
■ Shutting down or bringing up a management VLAN interface has no effect on the
up/down status of the Ethernet ports in the management VLAN.
Configuration Example Network requirements
The administrator wants to manage the switch S4200GA remotely through Telnet.
The requirements are as follows: S4200GA has an IP address, and the route between
S4200GA and the remote console is reachable.
You need to configure the switch as follows:
■ Assigning an IP address to the management VLAN interface
■ Configuring a default route
