You have all your devices attached to a console server with a serial port console set up on the serial port, and if they support accessing the BIOS via a serial console, that enabled so that you can access that remotely, right? Either a dedicated hardware console server, or some server on your network with a multiport serial card or a USB to multiport serial adapter or something like that, right? So that if networking fails on one of those other devices, you can fire up minicom or similar on the serial console server and get into the device and fix whatever’s broken?

Oh, you don’t. Well, that’s probably okay. I mean, you probably won’t lose networking on those devices.
