Differences between inband and outband management IP

[Amr Hafez]

Hi All

What is the difference between inband mgmt IP and outband mgmt IP 

and How could I configure the inband as when I tried to configure it I received the following error:

vlan"xyz"resolved to unsupported vlan ID 

as in attached

BTW the procedure I used to create inband mgmt IP

1- create vlan group includes all vlans created globally (vlan of data traffic and mgmt traffic)

2- modify the inband profile from the LAN tab to be: 

    Inband vlan group: the created in point 1

    Network: vlan of data traffic

3- from service profile of certain server I changed the inband mgmt with static IP ( in the range of data traffic vlan) and use the network of data traffic vlan

Thanks in advance

Out-Of-Band (OOB) Versus Inband

In earlier releases of UCS software, the management IP address that is used to access the CIMC on a server could only be accessed OOB. In OOB, the traffic traverses the fabric interconnect via the management port to the network.

Now with UCS Version 2.2, you are also able to access the CIMC via an inband address. Traffic to and from the inband address traverses through the fabric interconnect via the fabric uplink port. 

Did you follow the procedure in
