A system and method and method for filtering communications at a network interface controller is provided. The network interface controller is coupled to a baseboard management controller through a sideband communications channel. The network interface controller filters packets to the baseboard management controller on the basis of the address within the packet that identifies the device that caused the packet to be generated. The network interface controller transmits to the baseboard management controller only those packets that were generated in response to a command issued by the baseboard management controller.

An information handling system cooling profile is adjusted as the hardware configuration of the information handling system changes with the addition or removal of processing components. A cooling profile engine adapts the cooling profile to adjust for a processing components thermal profile, such as by retrieving the thermal profile from the component and applying the thermal profile to a cooling profile table to retrieve a cooling profile associated with a configuration having the component. In one embodiment, cooling profile adjustments are managed through a network so that the adjusted cooling profile adapts to other information handling systems operating nearby, such as blade information handling systems of a blade server.
