Out of Band Management port
The Out of Band Management port is the RJ45 port directly below the console port. The port
is labelled management, and can support 10/100/1000 Ethernet connections. The Out of Band
Management port is available for use when the switch is running diagnostic or agent software.
You can use the Out of Band Management port to perform an emergency TFTP download of
diagnostic or agent software to the switch. When performing a TFTP download, an IP address
is temporarily assigned to the management port which enables the switch to receive files from
the TFTP server.
When the switch is running agent software, you can use the Out of Band Management port
configured with an out of band management IP and gateway for remote management. For
