A system includes a memory device, a first interface port and a second interface port operatively coupled with the memory device, and a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory device, to perform operations including: detecting a triggering event associated with the first interface port; responsive to detecting the triggering event, sending an interrupt message to a firmware component of the memory device; receiving, from the firmware component, a configuration setting based on the interrupt message; and allocating, by the processing device, one or more resources to the first interface port according to the configuration setting.
