Console Redirect; Out-Of-Band Management Port - Dell PowerEdge M420 Configuration Manual

NOTE:
If you are installing a
the stack before powering up and configuring it. When a stack is powered up for
the first time, the switches elect a Master Switch, which may occupy any
location in the stack. Connect the terminal to the Master Switch. If you connect
the terminal to a subordinate switch, you will not be able to use the CLI.

Console Redirect

The Dell M1000e Server Chassis includes a console redirect feature that
allows you to manage each PCM6220, PCM6348, PCM8024, and
PCM8024-k module from a single serial connection to the chassis. For more
information about console redirect, see the
Guide
at support.dell.com/manuals.
NOTE:
When you use console redirect to access a module, the external console
port on that module is inactive and any current console sessions are terminated.

Out-of-Band Management Port

Each PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024/M8024-k switch provides an
internal Ethernet interface—the out-of-band (OOB) interface—which is
dedicated to switch management. The OOB interface is connected to the
chassis management controller through the chassis mid-plane. Traffic on this
port is segregated from operational network traffic on the switch ports and
cannot be switched or routed to the operational network.
