Abstract: Systems and methods for in-band remote management of a network asset are disclosed. Embodiments include a router, configured to provide Network Address Translation (NAT) to a private network. Communications originating outside the private network are controlled by the router. At least one network server asset is in communication with the private network and configured to run a Secure Socket Shell (SSH) protocol. The network server asset and the router initiate an SSH tunnel with remote port mapping to enable communication with another network asset.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include a system having a router with a secured communication channel and a first API, an enterprise cloud manager in communication with the router over the secured communication channel and further in communication with a computing device and the enterprise cloud manager further comprising a second API, and wherein the second API establishes a console session on the router by a request to the first API.

Abstract: A dynamic linking loader is provided for a pre-operating-system environment. Such a loader can provide a simple, flexible, and cost effective way for loading modules at run time in a pre-operating-system environment.
