I'm a total newbie in configuring a network switch and I would like to know how can I configure the management port of a ZyXEL switch.
I have a ZyXEL XGS3700-24 model and I set an IP address like 192.168.3.X where the web interface answer and I can connect with a browser, entering with admin user.
Since I have a management port I tried to configure it with an IP address on a different subnet (192.168.4.X) but when I try to connect to that port I can't reach it.
I wonder if I missed something when I first configured the MGMT port, into the "IP Setup" menu I set the IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway address, there's also a field as "Default Management" where I can set "in-band" or "out-of-band" value but I don't know which is the right setup.
Please could someone give me a little explanation of how a ZyXEL MGMT port works and how can I configure it?
