206 Setting Basic Network Information
Configuring Static Network Information on the OOB Port
Use the following commands to configure a static IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway on the OOB port. If no default gateway is configured,
then the zero subnet (0.0.0.0) is used. In this configuration, the OOB port
can reach hosts in the local subnet only, because the OOB port will not be
able to issue ARP requests to the default gateway. Configuring a default
gateway address on the OOB port allows the OOB port to issue ARPs and
address traffic to hosts on other subnets; however, if routing is enabled,
routing will use the gateway on the OOB port for front-panel ARP requests
and as a route of last resort. Since the OOB interface does not route packets,
this is not a recommended configuration. The OOB port subnet may not
overlap with any in-band VLAN subnet.
NOTE: Dell EMC Networking N1100-ON, N1500, N2000, and N2100-ON Series
switches do not have an out-of-band interface.
Command Purpose
configure Enter Global Configuration mode.

port.
ip address ip_address
subnet_mask [gateway_ip]
Configure a static IP address and subnet mask.
Optionally, a default gateway can also be configured
(not recommended).

ipv6 address dhcp Enable DHCP address assignment for the OOB port.
CTRL + Z Exit to Privileged Exec mode.
show ip interface out-of-band Verify the network information for the OOB port.
show ipv6 interface out-of-
band
