Using TCP/IP over Ethernet management port
You can configure LO100 LAN port access using two different Ethernet ports: the dedicated 10/100
LO100 management port or through a side-band connection using the server NIC. The side-band, shared,
or UMP options utilize one server Ethernet port for both server network traffic and LO100 network traffic
reducing the number of network cables that you must attach to the server.
