Depends.

On most ATEN chip based BMC boards from Supermicro, it includes a UI to 
iptables that works in the same way.

You could put it on a public net, allow your stuff and DROP 0.0.0.0/0.

But unless you have servers with those, I think the best way to go is 
putting them on internal IPs and then using some sort of a VPN.
