  • Method and apparatus for managing communicatively coupled components using a virtual local area network (VLAN) reserved for management instructions
    Patent number: 7483971
    Abstract: A method and apparatus provide unified systems and network management of aggregates of separate systems. User data and management instructions are received in a system of communicatively coupled components. At least one system manager administrates the communicatively coupled components using a virtual local area network (VLAN) reserved for the management instructions. The user data is sent to at least one of the communicatively coupled components as allowed by the management instructions.

  • Network topology management
    Publication number: 20060190587
    Abstract: In certain embodiments of the present invention, each of a plurality of switches in a network can independently develop an equivalent set of network attributes without referring to the network's topology. An equivalent set of network attributes can define the entire network's topology. Each switch can also independently maintain its respective equivalent set of network attributes to reflect changes in the network's topology. As with developing a set of attributes, each switch can maintain its set of attributes without actually referring to the network's topology.

  • Method and apparatus for avoiding transient loops during network topology adoption
    Patent number: 6954437
    Abstract: A master node in a network reports a spanning tree to a distributed dictionary. A plurality of nodes comprising a network including the master node access the distributed dictionary to adopt the spanning tree. The spanning tree is adopted in a coordinated manner to avoid potential transient topology loops in the network. In one embodiment, adopting the spanning tree in a coordinated manner involves disabling all links in the node that are to be disabled prior to enabling new links.
