7.6 Management VLAN Management VLAN provides a safer way for you to manage the EAP. With Management VLAN enabled, only the hosts in the management VLAN can manage the EAP. Since most hosts cannot process VLAN TAGs, connect the management host to the network via a switch, and set up correct VLAN settings for the switches on the network to ensure the communication between the host and the EAP in the management VLAN. Following is the page of Management VLAN. Figure 7-10 Management VLAN Page Management VLAN: Management VLAN ID: Enable Management VLAN. Specify the Management VLAN ID. The valid values are from 1 to 4094. 7.7 SNMP The device can be configured as an SNMP agent. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), the most widely applied network management protocol, provides a management framework to monitor and maintain Internet devices. Main functions of SNMP include monitoring network performance, detecting and analyzing network error, configuring network devices, and so on. When networks function properly, SNMP can perform the functions of statistics, configuration and testing. When networks have troubles, SNMP can detect and restore these troubles. An SNMP consists of three key components: manager, agent and MIB (Management Information Base).

An agent is a network-management software module that resides on a managed device and responsible for receiving and dealing with data sent by managing device. Generally the 55

Management VLAN
Management VLAN provides a safer way for you to manage the EAP. With Management
VLAN enabled, only the hosts in the management VLAN can manage the EAP. Since most
hosts cannot process VLAN TAGs, connect the management host to the network via a
switch, and set up correct VLAN settings for the switches on the network to ensure the
communication between the host and the EAP in the management VLAN.
