The commands for setting the OOB management ports can differ depending on the switch hardware and operating system. For example, the OOB port for the Dell EMC PowerSwitch S4048-ON running OS9 is managementethernet 1/1. The OOB port for the Dell EMC PowerSwitch S4148-ON running OS10EE is mgmt 1/1/1. OS9 and OS10EE examples are provided in the following sections.
The commands that are used in the following examples are entered on the production switches that connect their OOB ports to the management switch. OOB interfaces are always untagged.
OS9 configuration
The following commands show how to configure the OOB port on a Dell EMC PowerSwitch series production switch with Dell EMC Networking OS9 installed. Replace the IP address and management route (default gateway) address with the ones for your network.
OS9#configure
OS9(conf)#interface managementethernet 1/1
OS9(conf-if-ma-1/1)#ip address 192.168.1.10/24
OS9(conf-if-ma-1/1)#no shutdown
OS9(config)#management route 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.1.1
OS10EE configuration
The following commands show how to configure the OOB port on a Dell EMC PowerSwitch series production switch with Dell EMC Networking OS10EE installed.
OS10#configure
OS10(conf)#interface mgmt 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)#no ip address dhcp
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)#ip address 192.168.1.10/24
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)#no ipv6 address autoconfig (optional)
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)#no ipv6 enable (optional)
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)#no shutdown
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)#exit
