OOBM and switch applications

The table below shows the switch applications that are supported on the OOBM interface as well as on the data

interfaces. In this list, some applications are client-only, some are server-only, and some are both.

N/A = not applicable

***=Ping and Traceroute do not have explicit servers. Ping and Traceroute responses are sent by the host stack.

For applications that have servers, oobm/data/both options have been added to listen mode. There is now a

listen keyword in the CLI commands to allow selection of those options. Default value is both for all servers.

In a typical data center installation, top-of-rack switches connect servers to the data network, while the

management ports of those switches connect to a physically and logically separate management network. This

allows network administrators to manage the switches even if operation on the data network is disrupted.
