Network management traffic can only originate from administrative infrastructure.

The security of administrative activities can be improved by segregating administrative infrastructure from an organisation’s wider network. In doing so, the use of a jump server (also known as a jump host or jump box) can be an effective way of simplifying and securing administrative activities. Furthermore, using separate jump servers for the administration of critical servers, high-value servers and regular servers can further assist in protecting these assets.
