1. An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
a first Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) having a first network port;
a hardware accelerator comprising a second BMC having a second network port; and
an internal bus directly coupling the first BMC with the second BMC, wherein the internal bus is internal to the IHS, and wherein at least one of:
(a) the first BMC is configured to share the first network port with the second BMC in response to a determination that the second network port has failed or has insufficient bandwidth, wherein the second BMC communicates with a remote manager using the first network port of the first BMC via the internal bus directly coupling the first BMC with the second BMC; or
(b) the second BMC is configured to share the second network port with the first BMC in response to a determination that the first network port has failed or has insufficient bandwidth, wherein the first BMC communicates with a same or different remote manager using the second network port of the second BMC via the internal bus directly coupling the first BMC with the second BMC.
