Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes an information handling system that includes a management controller and a network interface controller. The management controller is responsible for managing the system, while the network interface controller handles network connections. The management controller receives information from a centralized management platform about a signature associated with the network interface controller's operating system.

Original Abstract Submitted
An information handling system may include a management controller configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system, and a network interface controller comprising a network interface controller storage resource. The management controller may be configured to: receive, from a centralized management platform, information regarding at least one signature associated with a network interface controller operating system (OS) configured to be executed by the network interface controller; and transmit the at least one signature to the network interface controller. The network interface controller may be configured to install the network interface OS to the network interface controller storage resource based on the at least one signature.
