Device Configuration
When connecting devices to the OnBoard, observe the following
recommendations, which are illustrated in Figure 1-1:
• Connect the main Ethernet port(s) on connected servers or devices to a
production network, which must be accessible to all those who need to
access the device.
• Connect the dedicated Ethernet port on each service processor or device
to one of the OnBoard’s private Ethernet ports. The connections between
the OnBoard and devices make up the management network.
