Optional support services

In addition to free support services such as the warranty and telephone support, HP networking offers an
extensive range of fee-based support services to meet more specialized needs . The following optional services

Appendix A: out-of-band management port

The out-of-band management (OOBM) interface provides an 10/100 Ethernet-based isolated management
interface to access the switch via SNMP, HTTP, SSH, and Telnet . As a truly isolated port, it is not connected to
the switching fabric and runs an IP stack that is separate from the in-band data plane . In a typical deployment,
the OOBM port should be connected to an isolated management network, both physically and logically, to
provide better security and allow for remote, lights-out management of the network . Figure A-1 highlights the
typical use model for an Ethernet out-of-band management network .

Applications supported over OOBM
SSH, Telnet, TFTP, HTTP, SNTP, RADIUS, TACACS,
DNS, syslog, ping, and traceroute
Limitations
• sFlow must be captured in-band
• IPv6 host capabilities, LLDP, and ACLs are not
yet available
• Separate IP stacks for OOBM and InBand so
DNS resolution is separated for each IP stack
