General Information
Figure 1-5 Typical Network Configuration (Two Ethernet Connections)
Both Ethernet adapters in the management server provide
auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps connections. The dedicated LAN
segment that connects the management server to managed switches
and the optional customer intranet operate at either ten or 100 Mbps.
If only one management server connection is used and this
connection is provided through the customer intranet, functions
provided by the management server are available to all users. The
purpose for dual LAN connections is to provide a dedicated LAN
segment that isolates the management server and managed switches
from unauthorized users.
CAUTION
Prior to servicing a switch or management server, determine the
Ethernet LAN configuration. Installation of switches and the
management server on a public customer intranet can complicate
problem determination and fault isolation.
