I respectfully disagree. The BMCs in modern server designs are plumbed to every onboard network interface on the motherboard. So it’s not just a matter of the “dedicated management port”. The chip would have access to every onboard LAN. If any network was routable to the outside it would be potentially be able to engage in its designed activities.
While many HPC environments are walled gardens this chip scandal would impact “HPC in the cloud” activities. Just my $.02 worth On Thu, Oct 4, 2018 at 07:44 Ellis H.
