Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes establishing a connection between a hardware switch and a console port, connecting the console port to a first central processing unit (CPU) using the hardware switch, and receiving, from the console port, a first character stream. The method also includes detecting, by the hardware switch, a first special character within the first character stream. The method further includes connecting, by the hardware switch, the console port to a second CPU in response to detecting the first special character within the first character stream.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes connecting, via a first interface of a controller card, a multiplexer of the controller card to a central processing unit (CPU) of the controller card. The method also includes connecting, via an interface of a first remote card, the multiplexer of the controller card to the first remote card. The method further includes interconnecting, by the multiplexer, the first interface of the controller card to the interface of the first remote card.
