4.4 OOB Broadband Ethernet Access
The ACM7000, CM7100, and IM7200 have a second Ethernet port (NET2 on the CM7100 and ACM7000,)
that can be configured for alternate and OOB (out-of-band) broadband access. With two active broadband
access paths to these console servers, in the event you are unable to access through the primary
management network (LAN1, Network or Network1) you can access it through the alternate broadband
path
On the System > IP menu select Management LAN Interface (CM7100, IM7200) and configure the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS with the access settings that relate to the alternate link.
Ensure when configuring the principal Network Interface connection, the Failover Interface is set to None.
4.5 Broadband Ethernet Failover
The second Ethernet port can also be configured for failover to ensure transparent high availability.
1. When configuring the principal network connection, specify Management LAN Interface as
the Failover Interface to be used when a fault has been detected with Network Interface
2. Specify the Probe Addresses of two sites (the Primary and Secondary) that the console
server is to ping to determine if Network Interface is operational
Then on the Management LAN Interface (CM7100 or IM7200) configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask,
and Gateway. The Management LAN Interface address must be unique, although it is permissible for it
to be in the same subnet as the Network Interface.
