EDGE OR FOG GATEWAY ASSISTED OUT-OF-BAND REMOTE MANAGEMENT FOR MANAGED CLIENT DEVICES

Embodiments herein relate to out-of-band connections for remote diagnosis and repair of client devices. In various embodiments, a server for remote management of a client device may receive, a network packet including a request for a keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) remote management session that includes an identifier of a gateway device coupled to a local area network (LAN) of the client device to be remotely managed by the server. The server may use the identifier of the gateway device to assist in invoking an out-of-band (OOB) connection between the client device and the gateway device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
