In figure 11-21, Workstation 1 has management access to all three switches
through the Management VLAN, while the PCs do not. This is because config-
uring a switch to recognize a Management VLAN automatically excludes
attempts to send management traffic from any other VLAN.

Preparation
1. Determine a VID and VLAN name suitable for your Management VLAN.
2. Determine the IP addressing for the Management VLAN (DHCP/Bootp or
Manual.
3. Plan your Management VLAN topology to use HP Procurve switches that
support this feature. (As of June 1, 2002, this includes the HP Procurve
Series 5300XL and Series 4100GL switches.) 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 11-21.)
