What is Management VLAN?

Management VLAN is used to provide a safe way for users to manage the Pharos products. With Management VLAN enabled, only the hosts in the specified VLAN can access the Pharos device’s management interface and manage the device.

Because most hosts cannot process VLAN tags, it is necessary to connect the management hosts to the network via a device that supports 802.1Q VLAN.

How Do I Configure Management VLAN?

Network Requirements:

The management PC is connected to the CPE via a switch. The Management VLAN is VLAN 3. The following topology is used as an example.
