ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for implementing a network protocol stack and a web interface within a management module are provided. A network controller supports utilizing a plurality of media access control (MAC) addresses. The method involves configuring the network controller to allocate one of the MAC addresses to the management module where the management module is utilized in monitoring operations associated with the computer system. The network controller is programmed to send the management module, via the system interface, all network packets addressed to the MAC address allocated to the management module. The TCP/IP stack and the web interface are provided within the management module. Thus, when a network packet destined for the management module is received from a remote computer at the network controller, the network controller sends the network packet to the management module via the system interface thereby implementing a network protocol stack and web interface.
