OoB Broadband Access

The B096-048/016 Console Server Management Switch has a second Ethernet network port that can be configured for
alternate and OoB (out-of-band) broadband access. With two active broadband access paths to the Console Server, in the
event you are unable to access through the primary management network, you may still have access through the alternate
broadband path (e.g. a T1 link).
• On the System: IP menu, select Management LAN Interface and configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway
and DNS with the access settings that relate to the alternate link
• Ensure that when configuring the principal Network Interface connection, you set the Failover Interface to None

ensure transparent high availability.
• When configuring the principal network connection on the System: IP Network Interface menu, select Management
LAN (eth1) as the Failover Interface to be used when a fault has been detected with main Network Interface (eth0)
