Re: Dedicated console

While it could be done that way...

Now-a-days, corporate switches provide the ability to segregate ports into
separate logical networks.
(think those terms are right, it's been a while since I had to mess with it)

Regarding the restricted network you mentioned, are you suggesting two NICs
in the PC (one to console port and one to network)?

Thanks

Well that's disappointing I would say. However a direct cable is the
right way to go.

The inability to access that remotely of course can be a big problem.
Suppose (for the sake of argument) there was a global pandemic that
cause people to be unable to travel to the office. Unlikely I know,
however then you could not get to the console and that's an issue.

if the PC is in a restricted network that requires additional
authentication to get into that would help the requirements there and
also as Evan mentioned allow the PC to get updates periodically.
