I wanted to open this thread to discuss the benifits to having a "Management network". I have heard this term used loosely and in regards to several different elements almost like a catch all buzz word........When I try to find a way to define it I can not. When I try to justify the existance of a seperate network that handles administrative traffic I can not get my mind around it.
Is there anyone who has this implemented and can illustrate its usefullness for me?

Thanks all....There really is an awesome brain trust here.
