Remote management and console Ethernet connector
Your BladeCenter management module contains one 10/100 Mb Ethernet connector
that provides the remote connection to the network management station on the
network. Use this port to establish connections with the remote management and
remote console features of the BladeCenter unit.
The network management station, through this port, can access control functions
running in the service processor on each blade server or within other components
installed in the BladeCenter unit. The network management station cannot use this
port to communicate with application programs running in the blade servers. The
network management station must direct all application related communications
through a network connected to the external ports of the I/O modules installed in
the BladeCenter unit, which then interface with the blade servers and their
application programs.
The following illustration shows the Ethernet connector that is on the management
module.
