Out of Band Ports (OOB Ports)
Each switch, fabric and Base, in a Ethernet Switch Blade unit has out-of-band (OOB) Ethernet
ports on the front panel. This is an alternative maintenance port supplying Ethernet connectivity
instead of serial connectivity and is connected only when performing switch maintenance
activities. Use ifconfig to bring up and configure the OOB ports. The OOB ports are 100 full
duplex, not auto-sensing. The front OOB port is eth0, and the rear (not implemented with this
release) is eth1.
LED Reference
See Figure 2.1 for a schematic view of the front of a typical Ethernet Switch Blade board. Note
that there are out-of-band ports, RS232 ports, a USB port, and 10 Gig egress ports (not
implemented in this release). In-band ports from the Base and fabric switches have LED status
lights controlled from the LED Mode button. Press the button successively to display the Base
switch ports, fabric switch ports 0-23, and finally the fabric switch ports 24-47. There are
separate LEDs for the out-of-band ports, and the ATCA status functions.
