7600 Card Management
14-3
If there is a dedicated network for management data, then the network is
being managed out-of-band. The advantage of using out-of-band
management as opposed to in-band management is that if the data
network is faulty, the problem can still be diagnosed because the
management requests are sent over a dedicated network. Out-of-band
management is, however, a less convenient and more expensive way to
access the 7600 Card.
