Abstract
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a processor, a management controller communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system, and one or more logic devices. The one or more logic devices may be configured to monitor a power-over-Ethernet input of a network interface communicatively coupled to the one or more logic devices in order to detect an indication at the power-over-Ethernet input of a request to remotely reset the management controller and, responsive to determining presence of the indication at the power-over-Ethernet input of the request to remotely reset the management controller, cause a reset of the management controller.
