Configure an IPv4 Management VLAN
For you to manage the device by using the web-based configuration utility, the device
management IP address must be defined and known. A management VLAN interface is
created by default and it is assigned an IP address if a DHCP server is present. If it fails to
get an IP address, a fallback address 169.254.100.100/255.255.0.0 is assigned to it.
Management VLAN is used as the default source interface for the syslog, message log, and
SNMP client, and so on The network interface is disabled by default.
The management VLAN is the logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch
through any of the switch’
s front panel ports. The configuration parameters associated with
the switch’s management VLAN do not affect the configuration of the front panel ports
through which traffic is switched or routed.
To access the switch over a network, you must first configure it with IP information (IP
address, subnet mask).
You can configure the IP information using any of the following:
• DHCP
• T
erminal interface through the EIA-232 port.
