Network Management Interface Isolation
Switch alternate management interface configuration in Meraki networks provides network administrators with the capability to isolate management traffic from user data traffic by designating a specific VLAN for network management protocols. This functionality enables enhanced security through network segmentation, improved network monitoring capabilities, and centralized management traffic control across distributed switch deployments. The alternate management interface supports protocols including RADIUS authentication, SNMP monitoring, Syslog reporting, and other critical network management functions while maintaining operational isolation from production traffic.
