III. Management VLAN
For security and performance reasons, it is best to separate user traffic and management traffic.
When Management VLAN is set up, only a host or hosts that is/are in this Management VLAN can
manage the device; thus, broadcasts that the device receives or traffic (e.g. multicast) directed to
the management port will be minimized.
Web Management Configuration (Access Mode):
Supposed that we have the default Management VLAN whose VLAN ID is 1 for all ports, we can
create new Management VLANs as required. This example is to demonstrate how to set up
Management VLAN from 15 to 20 on specified ports under Access mode.
In Management VLAN Network Diagram, the management PC on the right would like to manage
the Managed Switch on the left directly. You can follow the steps described below to set up the
Management VLAN.
