System and method for providing U-space aligned intelligent VLAN and port mapping

A method comprising:

• providing, from a first service processor of a first server in a server rack, to a rack management controller (RMC) of the server rack, a first indication that a first server host port of the first server is a first active port, wherein the RMC is coupled to a plurality of rack service ports, wherein each rack service port is uniquely associated with a rack unit of the server rack and is located adjacent to the associated rack unit;
• directing, by the RMC, a rack switch of the server rack to query a first switch host port of the rack switch to determine if the first switch host port is coupled to the first active port in response to receiving the first indication;
• receiving, from the rack switch, a second indication that the first switch host port is coupled to the first active port;
• and
• providing, by the RMC, a network map for the server rack that indicates that the first server host port is coupled to the first switch host port based upon the second indication.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including code for performing a method, the method comprising:

• providing, from a first service processor of a first server in a server rack, to a rack management controller (RMC) of the server rack, a first indication that a first server host port of the first server is a first active port, wherein the RMC is coupled to a plurality of rack service ports, wherein each rack service port is uniquely associated with a rack unit of the server rack and is located adjacent to the associated rack unit;
• directing a rack switch of the server rack to query a first switch host port of the rack switch to determine if the first switch host port is coupled to the first active port in response to receiving the first indication;
• receiving a second indication that the first switch host port is coupled to the first active port;
• and
• providing a network map for the server rack that indicates that the first server host port is coupled to the first switch host port based upon the second indication.
