  • System for Consolidating and Securing Access to All Out-of-Band Interfaces in Computer, Telecommunication, and Networking Equipment, Regardless of the Interface Type
    Publication number: 20100281094
    Abstract: A system for physically consolidating and securing access to all Out-of-Band interfaces in computer, telecommunication and networking equipment, regardless of the interface type, isolating the management ports from the data network. The system converts low-level management protocols into higher-level network protocols suitable for secure transport over the data network. The system may encrypt the common format management data. The system may also authenticate each User that attempts to access the management interfaces.
    Type: Application

  • Remote network node management system and method
    Patent number: 7552213
    Abstract: A system for transparent switching of management sessions utilizing in-band and out-of-band technologies is provided. The system provides continuous access to the managed system(s) by combining in-band tools, which generally require lower network bandwidth and provide better response time with less latency when the system under management is in-service, with out-of-band tools that provide continued access to the system under management when the network interface or operating system become unstable or the system in placed by an operator or falls unexpectedly to an out-of-service condition.
