Abstract

Techniques presented herein provide approaches for managing rack servers. In one embodiment, a message is received from a management controller of a rack server and via a switch port, where the message requests a lease for a network address under a first protocol. Upon determining that the management controller is a supported device, the switch port is configured to allow network traffic under at least a second protocol.
