When configured as Dedicated, you connect to the network via the system management
port. As shown in Figure 7-28, the port is located from the rear of the server on the left side of
the video port. Using this port allows for easier separation of public and management network

public network port to switch ports that belong to a public access virtual LAN (VLAN) and the
management port is connected to a switch port that is defined by a separate management
VLAN.
