Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) Port

This RJ-45 port is used to connect a dedicated management network to the
switch.
To use: connect an RJ-45 network cable to the Management port to manage
an HP 5400R zl2 Switch through Telnet from a remote PC or a UNIX worksta-
tion.
To use this port, the switch must have an IP address. IP settings can be
configured through a Console port connection or automatically from a DHCP/
Bootp server.
A networked out-of-band connection through the Management port allows
you to manage data network switches from a physically and logically separate
management network.
For more information, see the "Network Out-of-Band Management (OOBM)"
appendix in the Management and Configuration Guide at: www.hp.com/
networking/support.

System Reset Button

This button will reset the entire switch, including the second management
module, when powered on. This action clears any temporary error conditions

activity counters to zero. The counters are displayed in the switch console
interface, the switch web browser interface, and through SNMP network
management applications, such as Intelligent Management Center.
Press the Reset button also after changing the module type that is installed in
any of the switch module slots while the switch is powered on. See "Hot
Swapping Switch Modules" on
You can also use the no module <slot> command to erase the old module type
configuration.
