Troubleshooting OOBM and split stack issues

If all the OOBM ports in the stack are in the same VLAN, you can use the show oobm commands

to view the current state of all the switches. For example, if you have a five-member chain and

member 4 fails or has the power removed, a stack split will occur with an active fragment on

members 1-2-3 and an inactive fragment on member 5.

There is one IP address for the active fragment. This can be statically set by assigning an IP address

to the global OOBM port.

If the stack splits, you can connect to the Active Fragment using the global OOBM IP address and

then enter the show oobm discovery command to see if this active fragment has discovered

any other members that are connected using the OOBM LAN.

In the following five member chain example, connect using the global IP address of 10.0.11.49.

Once logged on, enter the show stacking command.
