ABSTRACT:
Remote access to a platform management system, for example via an intelligent platform management interface (IPMI), is maintained despite a failure affecting a local area network (LAN) controller. Failover to a second, operational LAN controller can be achieved by monitoring the status of the LAN controllers, and using a selector to couple a different LAN controller to a platform controller if the LAN controller currently coupled to the platform controller fails.
