The 7210 SAS platforms support the OOB Ethernet management port for management of the node. An OOB Ethernet port can be used to download the TiMOS image file and the configuration file by creating a BOF manually. The OOB management port allows for use of both IPv4 and IPv6. See IPv6 configuration guidelines in OOB node management for information about platforms that support IPv6 for the OOB management port.
See the 7210 SAS OS Software Release Notes 11.0Rx for information about the specific software release that supports OOB management port and IPv6.
