Server Access: Inband and Out of Band
KVM/net users can access servers over the Ethernet using the following
methods:
• In-band access – An IP address is used to connect to and control Windows
(Win2000, 2003, XP, and NT) Terminal Servers.
• Out-of-band access – KVM ports are used to connect to PCs with USB or
PS/2 connectors or Sun servers with USB connectors.
The differences between the in-band and out-of-band connection methods are
briefly described in the following table. For a more detailed description of the
requirements and functionality of each connection method, see the following
section, “Determining the Connection Type and its Supported Functionality”
