RE: Securing OOB

["Steven C. Blair" <blairs () isc upenn edu>]

Thanks for starting this discussion Eric. We're just starting to look at upgrading our oob console network and 
wondering how to provide access from LAN based application monitoring platforms. We're currently looking at installing 
a VPN appliance  between our production network and the "oob network".

Hello,

It seems that the current practice is to use a DSL line, as opposed to a modem, for accessing an OOB a console server 
at a remote colo.  From a security standpoint, what do people generally do - trust the console server, repurpose an old 
linksys box from my house or put in a full firewall?
