ACL and NOC-PS assignments are preferred over Auto Mode. So the The module first checks if there is a specific assignment, and if not the Auto Mode (if enabled) is used to find the appropriate proxy server. If there is no match, the default proxy server is used, which is defined on the overview page.

Auto Mode automatically tries to find out which proxy can be used. For this purpose the IP route into the IPMI network is checked on each proxy. The first proxy that has a suitable IP route is used as a proxy. If a different subnet is used for each IPMI network, it should be sufficient to enable only this option without further assignment of ACL groups or NOC-PS servers. However, if you know exactly which proxy should be used under which circumstances, it is better to create a fixed assignment for performance reasons. Depending on the number of proxies, it can take a few seconds for the module to find the right proxy in auto mode.
