Port configuration migration system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a processing system;
• and
• a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a management engine that is configured to:
• map a virtual interface to a first communication interface on a first networking device with the second networking device, wherein the virtual interface provides a virtual direct connection to a computing device that is coupled to the second networking device;
• configure the virtual interface with computing device communication configuration information for the computing device such that data communications received via the first communication interface are transmitted using the virtual interface;
• receive, via a second communication interface on the first networking device with the second networking device, a discovery communication from the computing device;
• and
• remap, based on the receiving of the discovery communication from the computing device via the second communication interface, the virtual interface to the second communication interface such that data communications received via the second communication interface are transmitted using the virtual interface.

A method for migrating port configurations, comprising:

• mapping, by a management system, a virtual interface to a first communication interface on the first networking device with the second networking device, wherein the virtual interface provides a virtual direct connection to the computing device;
• configuring, by the management system, the virtual interface with computing device communication configuration information for the computing device such that data communications received via the first communication interface are transmitted using the virtual interface;
• receiving, by the management system via a second communication interface on the first networking device with the second networking device, a discovery communication from the computing device;
• and
• remapping, by the management system based on the receiving of the discovery communication from the computing device via the second communication interface, the virtual interface to the second communication interface such that data communications received via the second communication interface are transmitted using the virtual interface.
