Management of network devices in servers

Abstract

This application is directed to managing network devices of an electronic device or system (e.g., a server disposed in a server rack). A computer system includes a first processor device and a plurality of network devices coupled to the first processor. The plurality of network devices include a first set of primary network devices and a set of supplemental network devices, and are configured to receive input signals and provide output signals. The first processor device is configured to monitor operations of the first set of primary network devices, and in accordance with a determination that a first primary network device of the first set of primary network devices has a error, configure a first supplemental network device of the set of one or more supplemental network devices to replace the first primary network device.
