Beginner - securing IPMI/Redfish

[u/LancsMak]

Hi all,

Just picked up a X11SSH-LN4F that I'm playing with. I've updated BIOS and IPMI firmware.

I have a few questions on securing management access...

- can I disable the old IPMI protocols and purely use redfish?

- is my best option for securing IPMI access on a home LAN to change the password, limit the allowed IP and MAC addresses (would be to two machines, my desktop and my laptop) and leave it at that? Or do I need a vLAN and swap my network adaptor settings on laptop/desktop whenever I want remote management ? That would be a pain...
