Detailed Description

Management Controller Host Interface (Type 42).

The information in this structure defines the attributes of a Management Controller Host Interface that is not discoverable by "Plug and Play" mechanisms.

Type 42 should be used for management controller host interfaces that use protocols other than IPMI or that use multiple protocols on a single host interface type.

This structure should also be provided if IPMI is shared with other protocols over the same interface hardware. If IPMI is not shared with other protocols, either the Type 38 or Type 42 structures can be used. Providing Type 38 is recommended for backward compatibility. The structures are not required to be mutually exclusive. Type 38 and Type 42 structures may be implemented simultaneously to provide backward compatibility with IPMI applications or drivers that do not yet recognize the Type 42 structure.
