Security Basics: Re: Managed switches outside firewalls?

[jc () someplace net]

One option is to create a management vlan on that switch and assing the switch's IP on that vlan only.  

Leave the bridged traffic on a seperate vlan.

That away the "through" traffic can't talk to your switch's management interface.

I still wouldn't advise connecting the management vlan directly to your inside network though... run it through a 
firewall first...
