LAN ports for server management

The ASUS server motherboards that support the ASMB6-iKVM comes with three

LAN (RJ-45) ports: one for network connection and the other two for server

management. For easy identification, the LAN ports for server management are

LAN1 and DM_LAN1 ports. You must use the LAN1 and DM_LAN1 ports for server

management to connect the remote server to the local/central host (direct LAN

connection) or to the network hub or router.
Refer to the illustration below to identify the LAN1 and DM_LAN1 ports for server

management on some server motherboards.

You may refer to motherboard manual for the location of LAN1 and DM_LAN1

ports.
