Troubleshoot OOBM and split stack issues
If all the OOBM ports in the stack are in the same VLAN, you can use the
show oobm commands to view the current state of all the switches. For example, if you have a five-member chain and member 4 fails or has the power removed, a stack split will occur with an active fragment on members 1-2-3 and an inactive fragment on member 5.
There is one IP address for the active fragment. This can be statically set by assigning an IP address to the global OOBM port.
If the stack splits, you can connect to the Active Fragment using the global OOBM IP address and then enter the
show oobm discovery command to see if this active fragment has discovered any other members that are connected using the OOBM LAN.
In the following five member chain example, connect using the global IP address of 10.0.11.49. Once logged on, enter the
show stacking command.

Member 5 is up, but is an inactive fragment. It has an addressable IP address, which can be used to connect to this fragment.
