Abstract
A controller in a server system can determine whether to share a network connection of the server system. In response to determining to share the network connection, the controller can disable a dedicated network connection between the controller and a network interface controller (NIC) in the server system, enable a first shared network connection between the controller and a computing module in the server system, and enable a second shared network connection between the computing module and the NIC. In response to determining not to share the network connection, the controller can enable the dedicated network connection between the controller and the NIC.
