Abstract
An information handling system includes a top of rack having a port, and a server having a network interface card and a controller. The port of the top of the rack transmits a link aggregation control protocol (LACP) packet. The network interface card receives the LACP packet from the port of the top of rack, and forwards the LACP packet. The controller receives the LACP packet from the network interface card, and to determine whether to update or create a bond associated with the port and a destination virtual machine of the LACP packet. The LACP packet is transmitted from the bond to the network interface card, and in response to the LACP packet being received at the network interface card, the LACP packet is provided to the destination virtual machine.
