System and method for automatic wireless connections between server management controllers to set up a secure proxy channel

Abstract

An information handling system includes a management system and first and second first baseboard management controllers (BMCs). The first BMC includes a first wireless interface, and is coupled via a first wired interface to the management system. The second BMC includes a second wireless interface, and is coupled via a second wired interface to the management system. The information handling system detects that the BMC has become uncoupled from the management system via the first wired interface, establishes a wireless link between the first wireless interface and the second wireless interface in response to detecting that the first BMC has become uncoupled from the management system, and provides management between the first BMC and the management system via the second wired interface and the wireless link.
