KVM ports provide remote access to the keyboard, monitor, and mouse of a
USB Sun server running Solaris or a PC running a Windows, Linux, or other
open source operating system. Connecting a computer to a KVM port allows
use of a keyboard, video, and mouse from a remote station as if it were the
keyboard video and mouse on the connected computer. KVM port
connections, also called out-of-band connections give access to information
that is otherwise inaccessible through in-band network interfaces.
