Re: ipmi access

I keep 2 vpn servers. ACL's at router to ipmi vlan, plus whatever additional security ipmi happens to have.

I'm of the belief that vpn servers should be redundant. Kinda silly to lose one and not have access to your network. :)

so how to folk protect yet access ipmi?  it is pretty vulnerable, so 99%
of the time i want it blocked off.  but that other 1%, i want kvm
console, remote media, and dim sum.

currently, i just block the ip address chunk into which i put ipmi at
the border of the rack.  when i want access, i reconfig the acl.  bit of
a pita.

anyone care to share better idea(s)?  thanks.
