IP Management

Management VLAN (mVLAN) allows you to use the VLANIF interface of the mVLAN to log in to the switch to manage devices in a centralized manner.

Context

To use a remote network management system (NMS) to manage devices in a centralized manner, configure a management IP address on the device. You can then log in to the device in STelnet mode and manage the device by using the management IP address. The management IP address can be configured on a management interface or VLANIF interface.

Generally, a VLANIF interface needs to be configured with only one management IP addresses. In specified scenarios, for example, users in the same mVLAN belong to multiple different network segments, you need to configure a primary management IP address and multiple secondary management IP addresses.

Management VLAN
After management VLAN is configured, you can log in to the switch through the VLANIF interface of the management VLAN to implement centralized management through NMS.
IPv4
After an IPv4 address is assigned to the VLANIF interface of the management VLAN, the devices in the same network segment in management VLAN can communicate with each other.
IPv6
After an IPv6 address is assigned to the VLANIF interface of the management VLAN, the devices in the same network segment in management VLAN can communicate with each other.
