9.14.3 NCSI
NC-SI ("Network Controller Sideband Interface") is an electrical interface and protocol
defined by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF), which enables the connection
of a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) to a set of Network Interface Controllers (NICs)
in server computer systems for the purpose of enabling out-of-band remote manageability.
It mainly includes: a management controller (MC), one or more (support up to 4 NCSI
electrical characteristics) network controllers (NC). The network controller, on the one hand,
connects the external network interface to the internal host interface, and on the other
hand, there is an out-of-band interface between the management controllers.
The network management module structure of the server is shown as bellow.
