Configure Management Interface and Gateway

Assign the switch management interface (e.g., VLAN interface) a static IP as per the customer’s IP plan.

 #interface vlan <Mgmt_VLAN_ID>
 #ip address <Mgmt_IP> <Subnet_Mask>
 #ip default-gateway <Mgmt_GW_IP>

Ensure connectivity to the NOC or management system via ping or traceroute.

Note: Avoid using VLAN 1 as the management VLAN to prevent potential security risks and traffic leaks.
