Abstract

An enclosure is associated with a network address. A management processor of a server device within the enclosure and an enclosure processor of a management mechanism within the enclosure share the network address. A networking switch processor of a networking switch within the enclosure is to route the packet to the enclosure processor, or directly to the management processor without the packet passing through the management mechanism.
