Abstract
A method for management of a host computer that includes a management controller configured to carry out, independently of the host CPU, host management instructions contained in management packets compliant with a first data link protocol. The method includes receiving the management packets from a first network operating in accordance with the first data link protocol. The management packets are encapsulated in data packets compliant with a second data link protocol, different from the first data link protocol. The data packets are transmitted to a second network, operating in accordance with the second data link protocol. The transmitted data packets are received from the second network in a network interface controller (NIC), which is installed in the host computer and connected to the second network. The NIC decapsulates the management packets from the received data packets and passes the decapsulated management packets via a sideband connection to the management controller.
