Setting up SNMP Management
To use an SNMP-based network management tool, you must enable a management IP address for the
switch, as described above (see Setting the Management IP Address on page 39) and have the switch join
an SNMP community (see Setting up SNMP Management on page 71 in the Management chapter). Most
SNMP traps are enabled by default. For details, see Managing SNMP Traps on page 73 in the Management
chapter.
Creating VLANS
This section contains these subsections:
• Important Points to Remember — VLANs
• Setting Up the Management VLAN
• Creating a VLAN on page 42
• Enabling Spanning Tree Protocol on page 42
Important Points to Remember — VLANs
• The default management VLAN is VLAN 1 by default.
• By default, ALL ports are members of VLAN 1 untagged.
• A physical interface can be tagged for zero or more VLANs.
• A physical interface can be untagged in one and only one VLAN.
• Each interface must have a single native VLAN (tagged or untagged) at all times.
• It is possible to set the management VLAN to a VLAN that does not exist.
• If you cannot reach anything from the management address, check the management VLAN using
show
interface managementethernet or show running-config.
For details on setting up VLANs, see the chapter VLANs on page 207. If routing is enabled with the Layer
3 package of SFTOS, see also VLAN Routing on page 262 in the Routing chapter.
