1. An information handling system configured for coupling to an external network, comprising:

  • an access layer comprising at least one aggregator switch including an aggregator switch processing device and multiple logical switches controlled by the processing device, the aggregator processing device being configured to control the multiple logical switches to selectably route network communications between the information handling system and the external network across one or more corresponding selected separate external network communication streams;

    at least one in-band processing device;

    at least one converged network adapter (CNA) coupled between the in-band processing device and the logical switches of the aggregator switch; and

    at least one out-of-band processing device coupled to control the CNA, the out-of-band processing device being separate from the in-band processing device;

    where the aggregator switch processing device is configured to automatically;

    discover an identity of the selected external network communication streams corresponding to the network communications; and

    communicate the discovered identity of the selected network communication streams from the aggregator switch to the out-of band processing device through the CNA.
