Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM)

Tasks

Example

This example shows setup and use of network OOBM using the commands described above.

Assume that the figure below describes how you want to set up your data center.

Figure D-3. Example data center

Assume that you are configuring the switch in the left-hand rack to communicate on both the data and management networks. You might do the follow- ing:

■Configure an IP address on the data network.

■Verify that out-of-band management is enabled. (It is enabled by default.)

■Configure an IP address on the management network.

■Verify that the switch can communicate on both networks.

The CLI commands that follow would accomplish those tasks. (The first time through the process you might easily make the omission shown near the end of the example.)
