| 1. A method comprising:
receiving one or more packets that are addressed to an alternate IP (internet protocol) address and that include an LADLC
(local application data link control) address in a system having an operating system-independent processor (“service processor”)
associated with the alternate IP address and an alternate DLC address, and an embedded network stack (“ENS”) of the service
processor associated with a primary IP address;
performing filtering to determine if the LADLC address matches the alternate DLC address; and
if the DLC address matches the alternate LADLC address, then:
replacing the alternate IP address of the one or more packets with the primary IP address; and
forwarding the one or more packets to the ENS.
