ILO Security

[kholikt]

Hi, I have a proliant with ILO,

The ILO and the network card are attached two to separate network. ILO to internal LAN, while the server network interface is to the DMZ zone. I have a bit of security concern whether there is a possibility of cross talk from the DMZ LAN to ILO network, people can access the ILO from the internet.

No, there is no a possibility of connecting between this two interfaces. Imagine iLO that "computer in computer" with separate phisical resourses embedded on ASIC.

Note: As I know not late age in Proliant series was announced feature - access iLO with limited functionality via one of the embedded "common" NIC. Unfortunately cannot post link here

The aforesaid answer is seems correct.

Through ILO one can access the server and through the server's nic card to the network it is connected to - but not vice versa.
