Abstract

Disclosed methods provision a host with a pair of proxy resources. A first proxy resource may be configured to forward traffic from an in-band management interface of the host to a link-local interface of a BMC or the like. The second proxy resource is configured to forward traffic received via a link-local interface of the host to a management network interface of a cluster manager. Upon receiving an event subscription message from the cluster manager via the in-band management interface of the host, the event subscription message is forwarded by the first proxy to the link-local interface of the BMC to register a link-local interface of the host as a subscriber for one or more events. Responsive to receiving an event notification from the BMC via the link-local interface of the host, the event notification is automatically forwarded to the management network interface of the cluster manager.
