It needs to be accessed from the internet, as well as the production network of course.
that's generally a horrible idea.

Maybe direct access on the internet would be bad, but if its not somehow accessible remotely (vpn/authentication/etc) , doesnt it defeat the purpose of idrac? If you have to physically turn up at the data center you may as well just connect to the server directly?
I made a mistake, I meant that the public network has a gateway to the outside for example if they are web servers, just that, my bad haha
iDRAC is just miniPC with access to the server hardware. You can plug that PC in whatever network or use VLAN. In datacenter/corporate infa they are connected to the separated network with very limited access to it.
@alconaft43 is this interface limited to severs only or routers or switches have it as well?
servers only, managed routers and switches are just miniPC by themselves (mostly not x86, but mips/arm).
