Network Management Service Deployment Options

Oracle ILOM supports the configuration of several network management services. Some of these services are enabled by default, while others require configuration. To better understand which management services arrive enabled, and which management services are actually required for your network environment, see the following table.

Note:

You should only enable the management services that are required for your network management environment.
