Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) for the 6600 Switch
Tasks
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.)
Switch 41# config
Switch 41(config)# vlan 1
Switch 41(vlan-1)# ip address 10.1.129.7/20
Switch 41(vlan-1)# end
Switch 41# show oobm
Set up IP address on data network.
Exit back to manager context.
Look at default OOBM configuration.
Global Configuration
OOBM Enabled : Yes
OOBM Port Type
OOBM Interface Status
OOBM Port

Switch 41# config
Switch 41(config)# oobm Go to OOBM context and
Switch 41(oobm)# ip address 10.255.255.41/24 add IP address and
Switch 41(oobm)# ip default-gateway 10.255.255.1 default gateway.
Switch 41(oobm)# end Exit back to manager context.
Switch 41# ping 10.1.131.44 Ping server in this rack (on data network).
10.1.131.44 is alive, time = 19 ms
Switch 41# ping 10.1.131.51 Ping server in adjacent rack.
10.1.131.51 is alive, time = 15 ms
Switch 41# ping 10.255.255.42 Ping switch in adjacent rack.
The destination address is unreachable. Oops! It’s on the management network.
Switch 41# ping source oobm 10.255.255.42 Go through the management port
10.255.255.42 is alive, time = 2 ms and it works fine.
Switch 41#
