Yes, edk2 Redfish does support BMC exposed USB NIC, as RedfishPkg relies on RestEx protocol for discovering Redfish service. The current RestEx implementation is network based, which means USB NIC would be used as the transport interface for Redfish communications between host and BMC.

Hi,

The communication between BIOS and BMC usually is IPMI over LPC interface.

The communication also supports with IPMI over IP.

 

BMC chip has ability to emulate itself as a usb network card, and connected with motherboard's usb physical port.

So, current redfishpkg supports BMC chip's lan over usb feature?

 

Thanks
