Outband (Mgmt Port)
In this scenario, the two ports LAN1 and LAN2 will link to the aggregate channel. The management port,
SNMP, links directly to the SNMP agent (out-band) and cannot pass traffic to the aggregate. Any
connection to the LAN ports or from the remote multiplexer will not be able to access the SNMP agent or
SNMP front panel port. This is the default setting.
Outband (All Port)
In this scenario, all three ports may connect directly to the SNMP agent (out-band) and to the aggregate link.
There is no link between the aggregate and the SNMP agent. The remote multiplexer cannot access the
SNMP agent.
Inband
In this scenario, all three local ports will link to the aggregate channel. The SNMP agent is managed
remotely through the aggregate channel (in-band). There is no local access to the SNMP agent.
