Plan your Management VLAN topology to use ProCurve switches that support this feature. (Refer to page 2-46.) 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 2-30.) • Ports on one switch that you will use to extend the Management VLAN to ports on other ProCurve switches (such as ports A1 and B2 or B4 and C2 in figure 2-30 on page 2-48.). Hubs dedicated to connecting management stations to the Management VLAN can also be included in the above topology. Note that any device connected to a hub in the Management VLAN will also have Management VLAN access. 3. Configure the Management VLAN on the selected switch ports. 2-48
