Service Port routable on managed switch ?
Is the Service Port or Out of Band port connected via ethernet routable? I have our correct subnet and default gateway setup and can't ping past the default gateway (which is a cisco router). I can...
Hi daveoneal,
I just want to follow-up on this.

No, there are at least two out of band ports. One is USB to serial in which you use terminal emulation.
But another is RJ45 ethernet with a default IP address of 169.254.101.100. We had set that IP address to an internal one with the correct gateway. We can address that IP address from on the same LAN segment. We can't access that IP address if we are one hop away. That doesn't make sense because the IP routing looks correct.
The out of band port is set to 10.10.1.120
I can access every other device in the 10.10.1.x range from my subnet (172.16.3.x) but not the netgear
The netgear has the same default route as every other devce on 10.10.1.x
So there must be something special about the out of band port, but I can find nothing in the docs.
Hi daveoneal,
It would be best if you post a screenshot or image of your detailed network setup. Also, what is the model of the NETGEAR switch you are referring to?

Hi daveoneal,
could you provide the configure file and topology? If you configure serviceport's IP address/subnet mask and gatway correctly, you should access it from other subnet.
thanks,
