The posh phrase for this is "Out of Band Management"
But you knew this already :-)

I suppose another way to do out of band management would be to use
VLANs.
Create a VLAN which doesn't route to anywhere else, and put your
management station on that.


I remember way back when, I actually did do this on an ATM network.
I can't remember if I finally put it into production, but I did put up
an ATM style VLAN and put the management station (HPUX workstation) on
that. ATM makes that kinda easy, as the adapter can be on several VLANs.
