Abstract
Device, system and method of communicating Keyboard-Video-Mouse (KVM) information. For example, a switch may include a plurality of KVM over Ethernet (KVM/Ethernet) modules to communicate KVM data over Ethernet communications; and a router to route the Ethernet communications between the plurality of KVM/Ethernet modules and one or more remote consoles. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims28
A keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) switch comprising:
- a plurality of KVM over Ethernet (KVM/Ethernet) modules to communicate KVM data over Ethernet communications;
- and
- a router to route said Ethernet communications between said plurality of KVM/Ethernet modules and one or more remote consoles.
A system to communicate keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) information, the system comprising:
- one or more servers;
- and
- at least one KVM switch to switch KVM data between said one or more servers and one or more remote consoles, the KVM switch comprising:
- a plurality of KVM over Ethernet (KVM/Ethernet) modules to communicate KVM data corresponding to said servers over Ethernet communications;
- and
- a router to route said Ethernet communications between said plurality of KVM/Ethernet modules and said remote consoles.
3 more elements
A method of communicating keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) information, the method comprising:
- receiving over a local network Ethernet communications from a plurality of KVM over Ethernet (KVM/Ethernet) modules, wherein said Ethernet communications comprise KVM data to be provided to one or more remote consoles;
- and
- routing Internet Protocol (IP) packets corresponding to said Ethernet communications from said plurality of KVM/Ethernet modules to said remote consoles over a communication link.
