Local versus remote management
HP console switches provide connections for local KVM console management. The HP IP Console
Switch also provides an Ethernet port allowing up to four workstations to operate as remote KVM
consoles over a LAN or the Internet.
Figure 7 illustrates an example of a two-tiered system with local and remote KVM consoles attached to
an HP IP Console Switch at the first tier and a local KVM console attached to an HP Server Console
Switch on the second tier. Local KVM Console A and four Remote KVM Consoles have access to all
servers in the system (Groups A and B), while the Local KVM Console B has access only to the servers
in Group B.
Note
In a tiered Server Console Switch, only local port B is available for
local KVM use.
