According to one aspect, a computer system for remotely configuring network interfaces of a host computer is disclosed, the system including a remote management computer and a managed host computer communicatively connected to the remote management computer over a communications link. The host computer includes a first network interface operable to communicatively connect to two or more server computers on two or more corresponding port numbers, and a second network interface operable to communicatively connect to two or more server computers on two or more corresponding port numbers. The system also includes a microcontroller operatively connected to the first network interface and the second network interface. The microcontroller has a programmable processor that is programmed to cause the host computer to perform functions that include receiving configuration data from the remote management computer over the communications link.
A computer system for remotely configuring network interfaces of a host computer, comprising:
A microcontroller for configuring network interfaces of a managed host computer communicatively connected to a remote management computer over a communications link, the microcontroller comprising:
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a programmable processor, cause a microcontroller of a managed host computer having a first network interface and second network interface and communicatively connected to a remote management computer over a communications link to perform functions comprising:
