The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Isolate Management VLAN from other VLANs with InterVLAN Routing on a Catalyst 3560

Asked by Endothermic in Network Design & Methodology, Network Routers, Network Switches & Hubs

Tags: , ,

We have two Catalyst 3560 switches with multiple vlans all with assigned IP addresses and InterVLAN routing established.  The two switches are trunked.  The IP address of each vlan is the default gateway for hosts on that vlan.  Vlan maps are used to isolate some traffic between vlans.  However, were having a heck of a time figuring out how to assure no vlan except VLAN 1 can access the Management CLI.  Basically, as we understand it, on a Catalyst 3560, the management vlan is on VLAN 1 and it cannot be changed.  However, were seeing a connection to the management CLI can be established from any of the vlans by connecting to their default gateway.  Is there a way to block other vlans from having this CLI access?
An example of the scenario is this:
------------------------------------------------
ip routing

interface Vlan1
 description ManagementVlan
 ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
 no ip mroute-cache
!
interface Vlan2
 description LanVlan
 ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0
ip pim sparse-dense-mode
!
interface Vlan3
 description iLoVlan
 ip address 192.168.15.1 255.255.255.0
no ip mroute-cache
------------------------------------------------

Here, clients on VLAN 2 or 3 can connect to the management CLI at their respective gateway IPs, 192.168.20.1 and 192.168.15.1, respectively.  Even if vlan maps and/or routing ACLs are used to block traffic to the management vlan IPs, clients on VLANs 2 or 3 can still connect to the management CLI.
Here is the trunk configuration:
------------------------------------------------
interface Port-channel1
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk

interface GigabitEthernet0/49
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
 channel-group 1 mode desirable
