Abstract
A management device that may communicate with at least one devices is disclosed. The management device may include a communication logic to communicate with the devices over a communication channels about data associated with the devices. The management device may also include reception logic that may receive a query from a host. The query may request information from the management device about the devices. The management device may also include a transmission logic to send the data about the devices to the host. The host may be configured to send a message to the devices.
Claims20
A management device, comprising:
- a communication logic to communicate with at least one device over one or more communication channels about data associated with the at least one device;
- a reception logic to receive a query from a host, the query requesting information about the at least one device;
- and
- a transmission logic to send a response to the host, the response including the data,
- wherein the host is configured to send a message intended for the at least one device,
- wherein the management device acts as a proxy for the at least one device by sending the response to the host, and
- wherein the host is configured to communicate with the at least one device via a data plane.
A method, comprising:
- accessing, by a management device, a data associated with at least one device;
- receiving, at the management device, after accessing the data, a query from a host for the data, the query sent to the at least one device;
- and
- sending the data from the management device to the host,
- wherein the host is configured to communicate with the at least one device via a data plane.
A system, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a processor in the chassis;
- a device;
- and
- a management device, including:
- a communication logic to communicate with the device over a communication channel about data associated with the device;
- a reception logic to receive a query from the processor, the query requesting information about the device;
- and
- a transmission logic to send a response to the processor, the response including the data,
- wherein the processor is configured to send a message intended for the device,
- wherein the management device acts as a proxy for the device by sending the response to a host, and
- wherein the host is configured to communicate with the device via a data plane.
