OOB Ethernet topology

  • This connection method uses the dedicated Ethernet OOB port on a device to configure and manage it. Two such ports that are commonly used are:

    • OOB port on a switch
    • iDRAC port on a server

    This connection method utilizes a dedicated OOB management switch that provides enough ports to manage all of the devices within a rack. The management switch that is shown in figure below is connected to switches, servers, and other devices for managing.

    Chapter 4 discusses the setup of Ethernet OOB management for the configuration and management of devices on the production network.
