Some DPUs incorporate local NIC BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) hardware on the board. The BMC SoC (system on a chip) can utilize either shared
or dedicated NICs for remote access. The BMC node enables remote power cycling, board environment monitoring, BlueField-2 chip temperature
monitoring, board power, and consumption monitoring, and individual interface resets. The BMC also supports the ability to push a boot stream to
BlueField-2.
Having a trusted onboard BMC that is fully isolated from the host server ensures the highest security for the DPU boards.

1GbE OOB Management Interface

The DPU incorporates a 1GbE RJ-45 out-of-band port that allows the network operator to establish trust boundaries in accessing the management function
to apply it to network resources. It can also be used to ensure management connectivity (including the ability to determine the status of any network
component) independent of the status of other in-band network components.
