We built an OOB network exactly like that. Cheap L3 switches talking OSPF to each other over their own 1G DWDM channels, completely independent of the production network. A separate OOB network used to be crazy expensive, but with cheap DWDM gear suddenly all you need is a free DWDM channel and some cheap second hand L3 switches. And that's what we connect our fxp0 ports to. Cheers, Sander
