Abstract

One example of an IP KVM device includes a USB port, a display port, a communication port, a network port, and a processor communicatively coupled to the USB port, display port, communication port, and network port. The USB port may be communicatively coupled to a host device to receive first USB signals from the host device. The display port may be communicatively coupled to the host device to receive first display signals from the host device. The communication port may be communicatively coupled to a secondary IP KVM device to receive second USB signals from the host device and second display signals from the host device. The network port may be communicatively coupled to a network. The processor is to aggregate the first and second USB signals and the first and second display signals and output the aggregated USB signals and display signals via the network port.
