Combined Management and Provisioning Network, and a Separate Data Network

Figure 2–2 Combined Management and Provisioning Networks, and a Separate Data Network

Notes:

• An additional NIC does not need to be installed on the management server

• The combined management and provisioning network reduces system and network security

• The corporate DHCP service can be used to assign IP addresses to provisioned servers

The statically-assigned management IP addresses and the dynamically assigned IP addresses used during OS provisioning are part of the same network. The N1 System Manager does not manage IP addresses. You must ensure that the IP addresses used during provisioning do not conflict with the management network IP addresses.
