7 <para>In-band Management refers to administrative access to systems and
8 network devices, over the same network used by the traffic being
9 filtered.</para>
10
11 <para>In some situations, In-band Management can represent a significant
12 risk to the administrator if certain precautions are not taken. These risks
13 center predominantly around the use of unencrypted communications channels.
14 In other cases, In-Band Management is the only option available to both
15 control and configure the device, while also allowing for data-path traffic
16 to pass over the same physical interface. This use-case is required on a
17 setup with a poor infrastructure configuration. The main requirement for this
18 use-case solution is to have all traffic pass through a defined WAN physical
19 port. Three types of traffic are mentioned:</para>

28 VPN or other features.</para>
29 </listitem>
30
31 <listitem>
32 <para>Data-path - all the other traffic that needs to reach a LAN
33 network. <remark>This is not ever clear, it needs to be a explain a
34 little bit better.</remark></para>
35 </listitem>
36 </itemizedlist>
37
38 <para>For use-cases where latency is very important, it is recommended to
39 use out-of-band management with a dedicated physical interface for the
40 data-path.</para>
