Some Extreme switch models provide a dedicated 10/100 UTP management port. This
port provides dedicated remote access to the switch using TCP/IP. It supports the
following management methods:
• Telnet using the CLI interface
• ExtremeWare Vista Web access using a standard Web browser
• SNMP access using ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager or another SNMP manager
The management port is a DTE port, and is not capable of supporting switching or
routing functions. The TCP/IP configuration for the management port is done using the
same syntax as used for VLAN configuration. The VLAN mgmt comes preconfigured
with only the 10/100 UTP management port as a member.
