What is a Management VLAN?

Management VLAN is a VLAN that is used for Managing and monitoring network devices like routers, switches, and other devices from a remote location by using protocols such as telnet, SSH, SNMP,syslog, etc.  The purpose of the management VLAN is to configure designated the VLAN for configuration purposes. Cisco recommends not to use VLAN 1 and not to use any VLAN that carries user data traffic as management VLAN. Normally the Management VLAN is VLAN1, but you can use any VLAN as a management VLAN. Once you configure the Management VLAN for administration, the data plane traffic and management traffic will be isolated this reduces the interference, and also with this VLAN security will be enhanced for management traffic.  

Let’s see the configuration for better understanding.
