Where I used to work, we had a physically separate console network.
All of the RSC and ILOM ports connected to this network.  We had one
server that connected to both the console network and our computer
room backbone, but did not route between the two.  Once you logged
into that server, you could telnet or SSH to any of the console cards.
We ran conserver there to automate that part.
