cisco switch setup
HI I am logging into a cisco 3550 and I am getting a question "Enter interface name used to connect to the management network from the above int summary". "The default is not allowed.
What is this in regards too? Thanks I am new to switching and normally don't have too but we don't have a network guy.

enter Vlan 1
it will enable you to connect in via any interface taht is in valn 1, this is much nice than being limited to a single physical interface (all interfaces are in vlan 1 by ddefault)
with cisco gear you can limit the interfaces people can use to connect over the network to manage the switch with. I is a very usefull security feature, but untill you are clear on how to implement it, i would suggest you use vlan 1 for managment. You can always easly change it later.
(you will also need to assign the switch an ipaddress for network managment)

I am trying to rember the command to remove a interface from managment.
using access lists you can block managment traffic comming over different interfaces to insure that even if an interface has an IP address on it (for routing perposes) you can't use that IP to manage the switch.
