All management can be performed on a dedicated interface connected to a closed management VLAN. To change the default eth port for management, follow the steps below in the VLM WUI.

  1. Using the Certificates & Security > Remote Access menu, select the relevant interface, for example, eth1, in the Allow Web Administrative Access drop-down list.

    Note: It is critical to the security of your appliance that you use a dedicated network interface for management traffic; refer to the section Choosing a Management Interface for help making a selection.

  2. Enter the IP address of the desired default gateway in the Admin Default Gateway text box. Click Set Administrative Access.

    Note: These settings are not applied until Set Administrative Access is clicked.

  3. When this is done, you must reconnect your web browser to the new IP address enabled as the management interface for the VLM.
