The SR OS platform provides a resilient out-of-band (OOB) management Ethernet redundancy mode for system management.
When the management Ethernet port is down on the active CPM, the OOB Ethernet redundancy feature allows the active CPM to use the management Ethernet port of the standby CPM, as shown in Figure: Management Ethernet: normal mode and Figure: Management Ethernet: redundancy mode .
OOB management Ethernet port redundancy is enabled using the config>redundancy>mgmt-ethernet command.
