Ilo On Dedicated Management Network - HP AB500A - Integrated Lights-Out Advanced Configuration

issue to consider when implementing the iLO common network approach is that there will be an
increase in traffic on the corporate network.
A corporate network configuration reduces the amount of networking hardware and infrastructure
required to support iLO because iLO uses existing DNS and DHCP servers and routers. Additionally,
with iLO 2 only, the shared network port performance is comparable to the iLO Dedicated Network
Port.
Note:
The iLO Shared Network Port function is available only on a limited number
of ProLiant servers. This function is supported by both the NIC and iLO
firmware.
Optional use of VLAN tags allows segregation of management traffic.

iLO on dedicated management network

Use of the iLO port on a separate management network improves performance, security, and provides
redundant access to the server when a hardware failure occurs on the corporate network. In this
configuration, iLO cannot be accessed directly from the corporate network.
A separate management network increases the security through the ability to physically control which
workstations are connected to the network.
