Hi,
Some access switches have a dedicated out-of-band management port. How does that port differ from using the serial console port or any other port on VLAN 1?
I'm looking at different switches and trying to find out what the advantages of a dedicated management port is.
Is it for instance possible to power off and on the switch from the management port? Similar to how out-of-band management works on a server.
Or is it a security issue - isolating data traffic from control traffic?
Are there any rule of thumb when you should have switches with a dedicated management port?
