Dear community,
well, I´m quite sure, this is a stupid question, however, I´m stuck.
How do get a Management VLAN up + running over a routed connection?
Customer has ERS-Switch in a remote location. This Device is connected to WAN via some Provider-Router.
Between Switch an router there is just an access-port with Transfer-VLAN "x".
To get Management VLAN "Y" up + running, I need an active/Up Port assigned to Management-VLAN "Y".
At the moment, customer realizes this by also assigning Management VLAN "Y" to the Access-Port (! not tag-all) of the Port connected to the router.
I´m sure, this is not "best practice".
In a Cisco environment, I would configure a Loopback-Interface + assign the Management-IP to this interface.
However, on an ERS I have to Assign the ip to a vlan + this vlan needs to be configured as "vlan mgmt Y".
That´s where I´m stuck /confused.
Can someone advice? Thx!
