Which distinct type of VLAN is used by an administrator to access and configure a switch?

• Port-based VLAN.
• Management VLAN.
• Protocol VLAN.
• MAC-based VLAN.

Answer: VLAN type which is used by the administrator for the access and configuration of the switch is the management VLAN. Port-based work to form the group of the local area network. The traffic on the base of the protocol is processed through the protocol-based VLAN. The MAC-based VLAN work by permitting the incoming packets that are not tagged.

Management VLAN work by developing the connection of IP with the switches located at the workstations which are connected to a VLAN port. The connection helps in the VSM, SNMP, and Telnet sessions. You are also allowed to assign any VLAN as the management VLAN with the help of the VLAN window but by default, the VLAN 1 is the management VLAN. The active VLAN number is only 1. The HTTP connection will lose when the new management VLAN is specified. to establish the new connection you must have the connection in the management station and the new VLAN management port. The steps to change the management plan are listed in the following:

• At first, you need to make sure the port for the switch management is allocated to the new management VLAN. If you do not want to lose the connection with new, then in the new management VLAN console portion use the management stations. You can also use the multi-VLAN which is allocated to both new and the present management VLAN.
• In the allocated VLANs list tap on the new VLAN ID.
• Tap on select options, then the active VLAN move back to the present VLANs list and the new one shown in the current VLAN ID field.
• Tap on OK to make the changes permanent.

The management VLAN is not changed on Catalyst 2900 switches instead VLAN 1 have the management VLAN for such kind of switches. With the help of CLI, any management VLAN is removed except VLAN 1.
