OOBM configuration commands can be issued from the global configuration context (config) or from a specific OOBM configuration context (oobm).
Entering the OOBM configuration context from the general configuration context
Syntax:
Enters the OOBM context from the general configuration context.
Example:
HP Switch (config)# oobm
HP Switch (oobm)#
Enabling and disabling OOBM
From the OOBM context:
Syntax:
From the general configuration context:
Syntax:
Enables or disables networked OOBM on the switch.
OOBM is not compatible with a management VLAN. If you attempt to enable OOBM when a management VLAN is enabled, the command will be rejected and you will receive an error message.
If an OOBM IP address exists and you disable OOBM, the OOBM IP address configuration is maintained. If you enable OOBM and there is a pre-existing OOBM IP address, it will be reinstated.
Network OOBM is enabled by default.
Examples:
HP Switch (oobm)# enable
HP Switch (oobm)# disable
HP Switch (config)# oobm enable
HP Switch (config)# oobm disable
Enabling and disabling the OOBM port
The OOBM interface command enables or disables the OOBM interface (that is, the OOBM port, as opposed to the OOBM function).
From the OOBM context:
Syntax:
interface [enable|disable]
From the general configuration context:
Syntax:
oobm interface [enable|disable]
Enables or disables the networked OOBM interface (port).
Examples:
HP Switch (oobm)# interface enable
HP Switch (config)# oobm interface disable
Setting the OOBM port speed
The OOBM port operates at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex. These can be set explicitly or they can be automatically negotiated using the auto setting.
From the OOBM context:
Syntax:
interface speed-duplex [10-half|10-full|100-half|100-full|auto]
From the general configuration context:
Syntax:
oobm interface speed-duplex [10-half|10-full|100-half|100-full|auto]
Enables or disables the networked OOBM interface (port). Available settings are:
Example:
HP Switch (oobm)# interface speed-duplex auto
Configuring an OOBM IPv4 address
Configuring an IPv4 address for the OOBM interface is similar to VLAN IP address configuration, but it is accomplished within the OOBM context.
From the OOBM context:
Syntax:
[no] ip address [dhcp-bootp|ip-address/mask-length]
From the general configuration context:
Syntax:
[no] oobm ip address [dhcp-bootp|ip-address/mask-length]
Configures an IPv4 address for the switch's OOBM interface.
You can configure an IPv4 address even when global OOBM is disabled; that address will become effective when OOBM is enabled.
Example:
HP Switch (oobm)# ip address 10.1.1.17/24
Configuring an OOBM IPv4 default gateway
Configuring an IPv4 default gateway for the OOBM interface is similar to VLAN default gateway configuration, but it is accomplished within the OOBM context.
From the OOBM context:
Syntax:
[no] ip default-gateway <ip-address>
From the general configuration context:
Syntax:
[no] oobm ip default-gateway <ip-address>
Configures an IPv4 default gateway for the switch's OOBM interface.
Example:
HP Switch (oobm)# ip default-gateway 10.1.1.1
