Abstract

A technique for setting network communications for a computer host having multiple network interface controllers (NICs) includes performing network communication for a baseboard management controller (BMC) using a first NIC. In response to actuation of a switch of a network connector jack that is associated with the first NIC, a switching signal is sent from the switch to the BMC. In response to receipt of the switching signal at the BMC, network communication for the BMC is performed using a second NIC.
