G-2 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Concepts Concepts Management communications with a manage d switch can be either: ■ in band — through the network ed data ports of the switch or: ■ out .
G-3 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Concepts Figure D-1. C-class enclosure OA Management port Out-of-band management (OOBM) operates on a “management plane” that is separate from the “data plane” used by data traffic on the switch and by in- band managem ent traffic.
G-4 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Concepts Advantages allows centralized management not affected by events on data network, shows boot sequence not affected by events on data network; allows c.
G-5 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Concepts Example In a typical data center installation, blade switches in a C-class enclosure connect servers to the data network, while the management port of the OA module in the C-class encl osure conn ects the switches to a physically and logically separate management network.
G-6 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Concepts OOBM and Switch Applications The table below shows the switch appl ications that are supported on the OOBM interf ace as well as on the da ta inte rfaces. In this li st , some applications are client-only , some are server -only , and some are both.
G-7 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Tasks Ta s k s OOBM Configuration OOBM context OOBM configurat ion commands can be issu ed from the global confi guration context ( config ) or from a specific OOBM configuratio n context ( oobm ). T o enter the OOBM configurat ion context from the general config uration con- text, use th e oobm command.
G-8 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Tasks OOBM enable/disable T o ena ble or disable network O OBM, use the enable or disable command. Network OOBM is enabled by default.
G-9 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Tasks OOBM port enable/disable The OOBM interf ace command e nables or disables the OOBM interface (the OOBM port, as opposed to the OOBM function).
G-10 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Tasks OOBM IPv4 address configuration Configuring an IPv4 add ress for the OOBM interface is simi lar to VLAN IP address configuratio n, but it is a ccomplished wit hin the OOBM context.
G-11 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Tasks OOBM Show Commands The show commands for OOBM are similar to the analogous commands for the data plane. Note that you must always include the oobm parameter to see the informati on for the OOBM inte rfac e, regardless of the context.
G-12 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Tasks Show OOBM IP configuration Use show oobm ip to se e the IP configuration of the OOBM interfac e. Show OOBM ARP information Use show oobm arp to see the ARP table entr ies for the OOBM interfa ce. Syntax: sho w oobm ip Summarizes the IP configuration of the OOBM interface.
G-13 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Tasks Application Server Commands Application server s (as described in OOBM and Server Applications in the Concepts section above) have a dded a listen keyword with oobm|data|both options to specify which i nterface(s) is(are) active.
G-14 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Tasks The show servers command shows the listen mode of the servers. ProCurve# show servers Server listen mode Server Listen mode ---------------------------.
G-15 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Tasks Application Client Commands CLI commands for client applications have added t he oobm keyword to allow you to specify that the outgoing reques t be issued from t h e OOBM interface. If you do not spe cify the oobm keyword, the requ est will be issu ed from th e appropriate in-band data in terface.
G-16 Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Tasks Example This example shows setup and use of network OOBM using the commands described above. Assume that th e figure below describe s how you want to set up your data center .
