Abstract
In a method for unified communication of a server, a baseboard management controller (BMC) receives a first packet sent by a server, and forwards the received first packet to a physical network adapter of the BMC using a preconfigured virtual network adapter, where the first packet includes first management data or service data. The first packet is sent to an external network via the physical network adapter. The virtual network adapter is further configured to send a second packet received by the BMC to a control module of the BMC, and the control module processes the second packet.
