Manageable Server Connections

A SPARC or x86–based server can be used as a manageable server as described in Management Server Requirements. Each server provides one or two 10/100/1000 network interface ports. Each server also provides one or two system management ports depending on server architecture, labeled ALOM or ILOM on single management port manageable servers, and labeled SP0 and SP1 on dual management port manageable servers. In this document, the management port is always shown as MGMT.

The following illustration provides the logical diagram for a manageable server with two 1-Gbyte NICs, and is used in subsequent sections to illustrate the reference architecture diagrams.
