M4100 D12G Accessing Management Vlan Port 1 from trunked bridge.
I wish to manage the captioned switch and seek help please.
I have two of the managed switch devices, one on each side of a wifi bridge. Both ends of the bridge land on trunked ports in the switches and the remote switch also has an access port configured Un-tagged on a working subnet with its own Vlan. How can I access the remote management port?
I have configured the remote management port 1 with say vlan 200 and the working subnet with vlan 300 and both vlans are trunked between the switches. The bridge is working well and a remote computer on subnet Vlan 300 can obtain dhcp address and access WAN as required. If I plug a computer with a static management subnet address into an Un-tagged port with PVID of Vlan 200 of the local switch and configure the management port of the remote port as Un-tagged with Vlan 200 but nothing plugged into that port, what else must I do to be able to access the management port on the remote device?

Hi and thanks for the reply. It wil take me a while to draw this out so will reply as soon as I can.
Hi and please forgive the delay. I have been working on other stuff and network task has been on hold. I shall try and get diagramme done but meanwhile my problem is easy to explain.
I cannot get reliable access to the management port of the switch. I should point out that nothing is plugged into the port 1 dedicated to management but this port is an Un-tagged member of the management Vlan.
The only copper connections I have on the remote switch are one plug to the Trunk port landing from the bridge connection and one pluged connection to an Un-tagged port configured for access for a workstation on it's own subnet. The subnet is vlanned over the bridge from the main managed switch which receives all the subnet dhcp and dns connections.
I had assumed that traffic for the management which is tagged accordingly, would go to the management of the switch and work but this connection is not reliable and sometimes times out. Everything else works as it should, it is only management access that is a problem.
If you need more info please let me know.
