Now that I started a FreeBSD homelab I wonder how server people mitigate their BMC exposure.
I have seen people superglue an empty RJ45 connector to the BMC ethernet port but that doesn't seem common.
I want to tie all my BMC controllers together for local LAN usage and I am not sure which way to go.
Perhaps a VLAN or separate subnet.
How do you isolate your Broadband Managment Controller's?
OpenBMC sounds nice but that means Linux inside.
When I look at the technical steering committee it looks like the Axis of Evil.

IBM,Google,Facebook,Intel Microsoft.
So I understand why they are involved but you understand my immediate skepticism.
These are the last people I would trust with my security. I do understand this is a Facebook project. So expected them.
Interested to hear how you segregate your BMC.
