Layer 3 Management Configuration
Switch only support Layer 2 forwarding, but can configure a Layer 3 management port for
the communication of all kinds of management protocols based on IP protocol.
29.1 Layer 3 Management Interface
29.1.1 Introduction to Layer 3 Management Interface
Only one layer 3 management interface can be created on switch. The Layer 3 interface is not a
physical interface but a virtual interface. Layer 3 interface is built on VLANs. The Layer 3 interface
can contain one or more layer 2 ports which belong to the same VLAN, or contain no layer 2 ports.
At least one of the Layer 2 ports contained in Layer 3 interface should be in UP state for Layer 3
interface in UP state, otherwise, Layer 3 interface will be in DOWN state. The switch can use the
IP addresses set in the layer 3 interfaces to communicate with the other devices via IP.
