Configure a Front Panel Port VLAN IP Address as Management Address

This enhancement allows you to configure a specified VLAN‘s IP address as the management address to be advertised by Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP).

If the Management VLAN IP address is not configured, LLDP advertises the system MAC address as the management address in their management TLV, which makes the network device not accessible. If the Management VLAN IP address is not configured, you can now specify any user-defined VLAN‘s IP address or front panel port VLAN‘s IP address as the management address for LLDP and CDP protocols.
