Figure 2-4 Third-most Secure Configuration: Dual-Homed Management Servers plus Separate
Management LAN
2-3-4 Least Secure Configuration: Flat Network
Here, the management application servers, managed devices, and managed clients all coexist on the
same network.
This configuration is the least secure, though it is the most flexible. It affords no protection to any of
the components required for storage management operations, so management application server
hardening is paramount. Additionally, you should consider microcode updates to any of the devices
under management, especially if they are related in any way to security for the device management
controllers themselves.
NOTE: This configuration may be a requirement if the implementation cannot accommodate a management
LAN.
Figure 2-5 illustrates a flat network.
