Abstract
Methods and systems for managing operation of data processing systems are disclosed. To manage the operation of the data processing systems, the data processing systems may include a port and configurable connection topology. The configurable connection topology may facilitate selective operable connection of the port to various portions of the data processing system such as management controllers and processing complex. By selectively connecting the port to various portions of the data processing system, devices connected to the ports may be managed for threat screening, reprovisioning, malfunction detection, and/or other purposes.
