N3000 Stack Out of Band Management Port
I plan on Stacking two N3000 switches for an iSCSI network. They will not be connected to our primary network at all.
I would like to use the Out of Band management port and am curious what my options are when using the out of band management port.
I know that I will be connecting the first switch's oob but what about the second switch?
Can the second switch oob be plugged in and normally be offline but during a failure take over?
It is independently configured? not configurable?
The manual is not a bunch of help regarding these kind of scenarios.
Thanks,
-Andy

You can connect both and the second one will be offline. In case failover, it will become active and use the same IP and MAC address that was used on the first master switch to minimize any problems. The second OOB port does not need to be configured, but the switch will need to be the stack backup master.
