    It's not wise in general to expose these type of management devices to
    potentially malicious traffic. One time our ISO group got our network
    group to modify the ACL's on our management subnet without routing it
    through us and proceeded to do a full vulnerability scan 8-/. It was
    mostly Sun equipment of the x4100 line; in addition to pretty much
    hosing most of the SP's, it actually took out some of the servers
    themselves <sigh>.

    Our ISO group is always fun to deal with…
