Abstract
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a host system comprising a host system processor and a network interface coupled to the host system processor and may include a management controller communicatively coupled to the host system processor and configured to provide management of the information handling system. The network interface may be configured to capture discovery protocol packets and encode the discovery protocol packets with extended discovery protocol information comprising information regarding physical functions, virtual functions, and ports associated with the discovery protocol packets.
