Specifying a Management VLAN

The management VLAN is the VLAN through which an AT-9400 Series
switch expects to receive management packets. This VLAN is important
if you are managing a switch remotely or using the enhanced stacking
feature of the switch. For more details about specifying a management
VLAN, see Chapter 19, “Port-based and Tagged VLANs,” in the AT-S63
Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide
.

Note

You cannot specify a management VLAN when the switch is
operating in a multiple VLAN mode.

To specify the management VLAN, perform the following procedure:

1. From the home page, select Configuration.

The System page is displayed with the General tab selected by
default, as shown in Figure 5 on page 40.

2. From the Configuration menu, select the Layer 2 option.

The Layer 2 page is displayed with the MAC Address tab selected
by default, as shown in Figure 23 on page 90.

3. Select the VLAN tab.

The VLAN tab is shown in Figure 103 on page 272.

4. For the Mgmt. VLAN ID parameter, enter the VID of the VLAN on the

switch that you want to function as the management VLAN. The VLAN
must already exist on the switch. The default is 1, which is the VID of
the Default_VLAN.

5. Click Apply.

6. To permanently save the change, return to the General tab on the

System page and click Save Changes.

For more information about what the Save Changes button does,
refer to ”Saving Your Parameter Changes” on page 36.
