M5300-28G3 Management VLAN Disable Routing
Hey, I'm testing a stack of M5300-G3 switches with the 11.x firmware and just cannot get the managment VLAN figured out. It seems that whatever I do the managment VLAN becomes a routing VLAN - w...

Hi pbrady,
I regret to inform you that the method in the v10.x firmware of having a non-routable management VLAN is no longer available in the v11.x firmware.

No need to apologise - firmware series changes are a chance for vendors to implement changes. Its just this was not clear from my reading of the V11 documentation.

If I adjust the routing and ACLs across my network I can use the M5300, with ACLs, as the gateway to my other devices on the secure VLAN?
Thanks in advance,

Yes.

The VLAN interface will act as the default gateway for the device in that VLAN.

Thanks DaneA, this has fixed the problem for me. Now just fine tuning the ACLs for full access.
Thanks again,
