Patent number: 11848865Abstract: Techniques for using global virtual network instance (VNI) labels in a multi-domain network to route network data with a multi-tenant network overlay are described herein. A routing device provisioned in a network domain of the multi-domain network may register with a service discovery system of the network domain for use of network configuration data to establish routes through the multi-domain network with network nodes. Each network domain of the multi-domain network may include an application programming interface (API) server for processing API requests to make changes to configurations of a network domain. A border gateway protocol (BGP) large community may be utilized to encode global VNI labels, network addresses, local next hop nodes, and/or additional network information and sent to routing devices provisioned in separate network domains. A service chain may be signaled by global VNI labels to route network traffic through various services prior to reaching a destination endpoint.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kyle Andrew Donald Mestery, Christopher Blair Murray, Jon Langemak, Rahim Lalani, Alvin Wong

Patent number: 11811596Abstract: Methods and systems for managing network provisioning for far edge devices are disclosed. New devices may be onboarded to a network at the far edge to provide computer-implemented services. Upon delivery to the far edge, the new devices may lack IP network configuration, which may be required to obtain provisioning data used to complete the onboarding process. That is, the new devices may be unable to access provisioning data until IP-based communications are established with a provisioning server. However, IP network configuration of the new devices may fail (e.g., when local DHCP servers fail to provide network configuration information), preventing initiation of the onboarding process. Thus, a remote service console may be implemented to automate network provisioning (e.g., when DHCP methods fail). The service console may be hosted by a service device and may provide the IP configuration information to new devices automatically, without user input and/or intervention.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2023Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Eric Joseph Bruno, Bradley K. Goodman
