Abstract:
A method of coupling multiple information handling systems (IHSs) through a communications stack includes establishing connection between a first IHS and a second IHS at a layer 1 of the communications stack. The method further includes receiving a message indicating a layer 3 protocol of the second IHS and determining whether to establish the connection between the first IHS and the second IHS at a layer 2 of the communications stack, based on the layer 3 protocol.
