an OD console port for communicating console data traffic to or from a console port of a managed information handling system;
an OD management port for communicating management data traffic to or from a management port of the managed information handling system;
an OD OOBM port, communicatively coupled to the console port and the management port, for connecting to a port of an OOBM information handling system; and
a multiplexing/demultiplexing system, which is communicatively coupled to the OD console port, the OD management port, and the OD OOBM port, that:
facilitates communication of management data traffic between the managed information handling system and the OOBM information handling system via the OD management port and the OD OOBM port; and
