Introduction : Device Configuration

Device Configuration
When connecting devices to the OnBoard appliance, observe the following recommendations, which are illustrated in Figure 4.1:
CAUTION:If a device has a single Ethernet port, that port would need to be attached to the production network, and the OnBoard appliance would be need to be configured to communicate with the device over the production network. With this type of configuration, the OnBoard appliance would be unable to provide the same level of secure access to devices that it provides when it is configured as recommended.
Figure 4.1 illustrates connecting two servers that have SPs, with the SPs indicated by gray boxes. (The same recommendations apply to connecting devices that do not have SPs but that have dedicated Ethernet ports that provide access to the devices’ consoles.)
