Management VLAN Window
This window is only available for Catalyst 2900 XL, 2950, and 3500 XL switches.
It appears when you choose VLAN > Management VLAN on the menu bar. You
can also click here to launch
it. Use it to change the management VLAN.
Follow these steps:
- Ensure that the port through which you are managing the switch is assigned to the new
management VLAN.
Caution: To avoid loosing your connection to the new VLAN, use a
management station connected to a console port in the new management VLAN. You can also connect to
the new VLAN through a multi-VLAN or trunk port assigned to both the current and the new
management VLAN.
- Click the new VLAN ID in the Available VLANs list.
- Click Select.
The active VLAN returns to the Available VLANs list and your new selection
appears in the Management VLAN field.
- Click OK to propagate the new management VLAN to all cluster members.
To maintain connectivity in the VLAN, the new VLAN assignment is synchronized so that all
switches begin using it simultaneously.
Note: You can delete any management VLAN except VLAN 1 by
using the CLI.
