Abstract
A network device includes packet processing circuitry, one or more hardware peripherals, a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and a Central Processing Unit (CPU). The packet processing circuitry is to communicate packets over a network. The BMC is to control the hardware peripherals. The CPU is to perform control-plane operations for communicating the packets by the packet processing circuitry. Each of the CPU and the BMC is to modify states of the hardware peripherals, and to synchronize the other of the BMC and the CPU with the modified state of the hardware peripherals.
