Getting Started
Initial Configuration
Note If you have configured a dedicated management VLAN on the module's host
switch, you may want to associate that management VLAN with the manage-
ment access zone. In that case, add allow-switch-ip to the command to
permit the switch to have an IP address on that VLAN:
hostswitch(tms-module-C:config)# vlan <
vlan ID
> zone <
firewall zone
>
allow-switch-ip
The management VLAN, however, should not be the default VLAN: VLAN 1.
5. Set IP address for the VLAN added in step 5.
hostswitch(tms-module-C:config)# vlan <
vlan ID
> ip address <
ip
address
> <
subnet
mask>
Success: Set VLAN <
vlan ID
> IP address to: <
ip address
> <
subnet
mask>
To do initial setup on another VLAN, repeat the steps above. Initially, you will
only be able to access the Web browser interface from the VLANs that you
configure now in the CLI.
6. Configure a priority VLAN to ensure that you can always access the Web
browser interface (even if the TMS zl module is handling an extremely
high volume of traffic).
hostswitch(tms-module-C:config)# management priority-vlan <
vlan ID
>
7. Determine the VLAN on which the TMS zl module connects to its default
gateway.
• When the external router is the default gateway, this VLAN is the
VLAN on which the host switch connects to the external router.
• If the module’s host switch is the default gateway, this VLAN is
typically the VLAN on which the host switch connects to the external
router. Make sure that the switch has an IP address on that VLAN.
• If a core switch is the default gateway, this VLAN is typically the VLAN
on which the module’s host switch connects to the core switch.If
necessary, extend the VLAN to the host switch so that the TMS zl
module can reach the default gateway on the correct VLAN.
8. If the default gateway is on the VLAN already added to the management-
access zone, skip this step and continue with Step 9. Otherwise, complete
this step.
a. Associate the VLAN on which the TMS zl module connects to its
default gateway with a zone (often this is the External zone).
