Preparation

1. Determine a VID and VLAN name suitable for your Management VLAN.
2. Plan your Management VLAN topology to use HP switches that support
this feature. (Refer to page 1-50.) The ports belonging to the Management
VLAN should be only the following:
• Ports to which you will connect authorized management stations
(such as Port A7 in figure 1-34.)
• Ports on one switch that you will use to extend the Management VLAN
to ports on other HP switches (such as ports A1 and B2 or B4 and C2
in figure 1-34 on page 1-52.).
Hubs dedicated to connecting management stations to the Management VLAN
can also be included in the above topology. Note that any device connected
to a hub in the Management VLAN will also have Management VLAN access.
