Out of Band Ports (OOB Ports)

Each switch, fabric and Base, in a Ethernet Switch Blade unit has out-of-band (OOB) Ethernet ports on the front panel. This is an alternative maintenance port supplying Ethernet connectivity instead of serial connectivity and is connected only when performing switch maintenance activities. Use ifconfig to bring up and configure the OOB ports. The OOB ports are 100 full duplex, not auto-sensing. The front OOB port is eth0, and the rear (not implemented with this release) is eth1.

LED Reference

See Figure 2.1 for a schematic view of the front of a typical Ethernet Switch Blade board. Note that there are out-of-band ports, RS232 ports, a USB port, and 10 Gig egress ports (not implemented in this release). In-band ports from the Base and fabric switches have LED status lights controlled from the LED Mode button. Press the button successively to display the Base switch ports, fabric switch ports 0-23, and finally the fabric switch ports 24-47. There are separate LEDs for the out-of-band ports, and the ATCA status functions.
