Setting the IP Address of the Virtual
Management Port
If you want to access the switch through Telnet, SSH, TFTP, or the SFTOS Web
UI, you must set up the service port to configure an IP address that is accessible,
by default, through ports in VLAN 1. You can also do both with separate IP
addresses.
NOTE: By default, the virtual management IP address is reachable from VLAN 1
and all physical ports are members of VLAN 1. So the management IP address will
be reachable from all enabled physical ports by default.
Creating a Simple Configuration using
VLANs and STP
NOTE: As noted in Enabling Ports, all ports are disabled by default. Enable them
with the no shutdown all command (Global Config mode), or individually with the
no shutdown command. The equivalent action on the Web UI is to select Enable
in the Admin mode field on the Port Configuration panel.
Use the line interface command to create a VLAN and then add a tagged
interface and an untagged interface to it.
