Dmitry Tantsur 92eb542511 PXE configuration guide for unmanaged inspection
To a large extent, copy-paste from the Inspector docs. Adjusted some
wording to be more generic. Migrated the (un)managed docs since they
apply to both implementations and are important for understanding.

Inspector Support
=================
Ironic supports in-band inspection using the ironic-inspector_ project. This
is the original in-band inspection implementation, which is being gradually
phased out in favour of a similar implementation inside Ironic proper.
It is supported by all hardware types, and used by default, if enabled, by the
``ipmi`` hardware type. The ``inspector`` *inspect* interface has to be
enabled to use it:
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
enabled_inspect_interfaces = inspector,no-inspect
If the ironic-inspector service is not registered in the service catalog, set
the following option:
.. code-block:: ini
[inspector]
endpoint_override = http://inspector.example.com:5050
In order to ensure that ports in Bare Metal service are synchronized with
NIC ports on the node, the following settings in the ironic-inspector
configuration file must be set:
.. code-block:: ini
[processing]
add_ports = all
keep_ports = present
Managed and unmanaged inspection
--------------------------------
There are two modes of in-band inspection: *managed* inspection and *unmanaged*
inspection. See :doc:`/admin/inspection/managed` for more details.
