An information handling system includes a device, a processor, and a runtime agent. the device provides a System Management Interrupt (SMI) in response to an error on the device. The processor receives the SMI, enters a System Management Mode (SMM), and executes first interrupt handler code in SMM to provide interrupt information associated with the SMI when the SMI is associated with a non-critical error on the device, and exit SMM to a runtime mode. The runtime agent receives the interrupt information during the runtime mode to execute second interrupt handler code to service the non-critical error on the device.

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.
