Hello, my name is Mike and I am new to the extreme world and was wondering if someone could please shed some light on setting up a new extreme 5520-48w POE switch. I am trying to configure VLAN management through the fiber VIM module. Currently the switch is running my POE phones which work great through the VIM module, so i know the connectivity is good. The only problem is that I cant figure out how to remotely manage the switch passing through the VIM module. The MGMT OOB port in the back is the only way i can manage the switch currently. Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you dont mind please elaborate for me the best you can. I attached my config for review. Thank you kindly.

Jave, thanks for this info. Once i added the vlan ID after "Vlan MGMT <ID>" , it worked great. One thing i did read though and im not sure if this made a difference or not, but apparently the VIM module doesnt start off configured as uplink ports. You have to go in and configure the boot flags accordingly. I actually added the particular boot flag, saved and rebooted the switch but it didnt show up under the config so im not sure if it took or not. In any case to manage the switch via the default VLAN 1, instead of the MGMT OOB port on the baqckside, all i needed to do was build the MGMT Vlan 1 as "in-band" type connection. Also once you do so, you lose the ability to use the MGMT OOB backside port. So you cant both working apparently. Thanks again for the support.

Hi Jave, thanks for getting back to me with this potential solution. Since im using the Voss OS, my fiber connections on the VIM module are labeled as 2/1, 2/2, 2/3, and 2/4 as shown on the GUI. So in reference to your example above im using VIM Interface 2/3 so with that being said would the last line in your sample config look something like this......

vlan members add 100 2/3

Hi @mike71

Yes, your config looks right.

Hi Jave, no luck with the config setup you sent. Not sure why it doesnt work since thats the typical setup i have found when trying to setup a MGMT Vlan. I did read a little about Clip, but not sure if that applies to my case. There must be an easier way to manage the switch through the VIM ports but again i have been hammering on this thing for over a week and have had no luck. If anybody has any ideas on switch management through the fiber ports on the VIM, i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you kindly

Hi Mike,

The configuration provided by Jave looks good.

Can you tel us more about your setup ? did you try to reach the mgmt ip from a host directly connected on the switch ? or only from remote host ? from same subnet (100) or different ?

Do you check the vlan 100 connectivity ? any Mac address on the VIM port you added ? can you ping the mgmt vlan gw ?

mac table : show vlan mac-address-entry 100
ping : ping <gw ip> mgmt

Can you share command result below :

show mgmt interface
show mgmt ip
show port vlan 2/3 (the VIM port used)

regards,

TQU

Hi @mike71

Sorry but I've forgot an element in the conf I've shared with you. You need to specify the MGMT vlan:

mgmt vlan 100

rather than

mgmt vlan

Best regards
