¡ Your management station has management VLAN access (see "Management VLAN Access").
¡ The switch is powered up.
¡ You have a valid network connection to the switch and the port you are using has not been disabled.
l Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management software cannot access the switch.
Ensure that:
¡ You have configured the switch's management VLAN with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
¡ Your management station has management VLAN access (see "Management VLAN Access").
¡ SNMP is enabled on the switch and community strings have been set with the appropriate access rights.
¡ The switch is powered up.
¡ You have a valid network connection to the switch and the port you are using has not been disabled.
Management VLAN Access
The following sections describe troubleshooting related to management VLAN access to the switch.
Layer 2 Switch Connections
If you are having problems setting up management access in a network where there are only Layer 2 switch connections to the management station, use the
following example to troubleshoot the problem.
Example 1
Three switches, which form three VLANs, are interconnected to a fourth core switch. Network administrators who are connected to one switch need to be able
to access all switches. The VLAN port memberships should be set up as shown in the following figure.
In the preceding figure, the management VLAN is VID 2 and all inter-switch ports are configured as tagged ports. The ports that interconnect the switches
must be configured as members of the management VLAN, and the management station must be connected to a port that is also a member of the same VLAN.
For management VLAN access, ensure that:
l You have configured the switch's management VLAN with a valid IP address and subnet mask.
l The management station has an IP address in the same subnet as the management VLAN.
l The management station is connected to a switch port that is a member of the management VLAN, and the port VLAN ID (PVID) is also configured as
the management VLAN.
l Ports that interconnect switches in the network are tagged and are members of the management VLAN.
Layer 3 Switch Connections
If you are having problems setting up management access in a network where there are Layer 3 switch connections to the management station, use the
following example to troubleshoot the problem.
Example 2
Three Layer 2 switches, which form three VLANs, are interconnected to a fourth Layer 3 switch. Network administrators who are connected to one Layer 2
switch need to be able to access all switches for management. The VLAN port memberships should be set up as shown in the following figure.
