iLO network connection options

You can connect iLO to the network through a dedicated management network.

Dedicated management network

In this configuration, the iLO port is on a separate network. A separate network improves performance and security because you can physically control which workstations are connected to the network. A separate network also provides redundant access to the server when a hardware failure occurs on the production network. In this configuration, iLO cannot be accessed directly from the production network. The Dedicated management network is the preferred iLO network configuration.
