An OOB network is a separate network used to manage, orchestrate, and troubleshoot the primary production network. OOB management is the term for the network management that occurs on the out-of-band network. This differs from in-band management, which takes place on the main network alongside production traffic.<\/p>\n In this blog, we\u2019ll compare In-band vs out-of-band management and explain why modern enterprise networks need out-of-band.<\/p>\n In-band management is the network management that occurs on the same channel as data communications. Network administrators connect to the device they want to manage (e.g., a router, switch, etc.) using protocols like Telnet\/SSH or SNMP. In-band management requires the administrator to connect over the primary LAN interface\u2014or the WAN, for remote network management.<\/p>\n The in-band network management workflow must compete with production traffic for bandwidth since they use the same network architecture. In addition, if the primary LAN, WAN, or ISP experiences problems or goes offline, administrators lose the ability to connect to network devices for troubleshooting remotely. That means they need to physically connect to the serial ports on affected devices, which could be hundreds or thousands of miles away.<\/p>\nWhat is In-band management?<\/h2>\n
