Abstract
Examples may include receiving, at a switch, an Ethernet frame having an Ethernet header that may indicate the Ethernet frame includes a network controller sideband interface (NC-SI) control packet from a management controller at a compute node coupled to the switch. In some examples, a response to a command included in a received NC-SI control packet that was encapsulated in an Ethernet frame may be processed at the switch and sent to the management controller.
