Ethernet ports on the MergePoint SP5300 appliance
The MergePoint SP5300 appliance has two public Ethernet ports (eth0 and eth1), which are labeled
LAN1 and LAN2. The eth0 port is for connecting to the external network and eth1 is for
connecting to service processors on the internal network.
NOTE: Connecting service processors to eth0 is not recommended because some services, like BMC
provisioning or DHCP servers, only listen to eth1.
