Abstract
An apparatus in various embodiments is for use in a local area network and includes a discernment logic circuit and logic circuitry. The discernment logic circuit discerns whether a requested communications transaction received over the management communications bus from another of the logic nodes involves a first type of transaction or a second type of transaction, the second type of transaction having a plurality of commands associated with the requested communications transaction to convey respectively different parts of the requested communications transaction including an address part and a data part. The logic circuitry disables, in response to a reset of an address pointer in the one of the plurality of logic nodes and the requested communications transaction being the second type of transaction, the address pointer to mitigate a likelihood that the requested communications transaction is performed via the communication protocol while the address pointer for the second type of transaction is erroneous.
