So console cables connected to a switch from a computer is an example of out of band management ?

[@AceNetworker]

Technically, yes. If you're accessing the switch management other than through the network. I mean it's NOT, but since it's not "in band" management, technically it is out-of-band. Really though, out-of-band is through a parallel network that's only created for managing devices, and allowing the primary network to function separately.

[@alyaabaghdad]

What do you mean “ primary network “ ?

[@AceNetworker]

@@alyaabaghdad When I say "primary network" I'm referring to the actual computer network where data and information is being passed between nodes/devices. THE network. The out-of-band network is a separate network that is usually ONLY used for managing devices.
