Preparation
1. Determine a VID and VLAN name suitable for your Management VLAN.
(You must manually configure the IP addressing for the Management
VLAN. The switch does not allow the Management VLAN to acquire an IP
address through DHCP/Bootp.)
2. Plan your Management VLAN topology to use HP ProCurve switches that
support this feature. (Refer to page 2-44.) 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 2-28.)
• Ports on one switch that you will use to extend the Management VLAN
to ports on other HP ProCurve switches (such as ports A1 and B2 or
B4 and C2 in figure
2-28 on page 2-46.).
