Publication number: 20230367895Abstract: A method for providing access to objects associated with a particular client in a cloud storage system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of establishing a connection with a user, providing a client namespace associated with the client to the user, where the client namespace represents objects stored on the cloud storage system and objects stored on a private storage system apart from the cloud storage system, receiving a request from the user to access an object stored on the private storage system, and providing information to the user to facilitate access to the object stored on the private storage system by said user. Other systems and methods are also disclosed. Important advantages of the present invention are facilitated by separating the logic for user access (control plane) from the actual storage (Storage plane). Private file system access can still be managed from the cloud, while keeping the client data private.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: Egnyte, Inc.Inventors: Hakan Ancin, Xi Chen, Amrit Jassal, Daniel H. Jung, Gregory B. Neustaetter, Sean H. Puttergill, Ramakrishnan Sundararaj, Sanjay Vedanthan, Chandra Yalangi, Ramanathan Kavasseri, Ravi Wijayaratne, Shishir Sharma

Patent number: 7484222Abstract: A system for setting expressions at an agent including a processor configured to receive a SNMP message from a management station specifying objects for notifications supported by the agent and expressions based on the objects, set expressions for the notification, evaluate expressions when the notification containing the expression is generated, and send the notification to the management station.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2005Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Keith McCloghrie, Ramanathan Kavasseri, Sandra Durham

Patent number: 7293052Abstract: In one aspect, a message is received requesting access to a set of managed objects associated with a network device. A set of object instances associated with the objects is retrieved, with their associated values. A set of access configuration commands represent an access policy associated with the requester. The access policy specifies restricted values associated with an object instance and includes instructions regarding whether to permit or deny access to the object instance when the object instance contains a specified restricted value. The current value of the object instance is compared to the specified restricted values, and access is controlled based on the access policy. Significantly, value-based access to management information is provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2002Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Ramanathan Kavasseri

Patent number: 7287069Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for changing the configuration state of a network device such as a router, a switch or a similar device without the need for a person to interpret a textual diff. According to some aspects of the invention, a programmatic diff file that includes the output of two comparisons is used as an input file to a program that “rolls back” the current configuration state to a prior configuration state. According to other aspects of the invention, the output of a single comparison is input to an “incremental diff” process, which adds new commands to a configuration state. According to preferred aspects of the invention, the output files generated by the comparison processes preserve the hierarchical context of each command in a programmatic format that is usable as direct input by the network device or by another device (such as a host controlled by a network administrator) that performs the incremental diff.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2002Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Ramanathan Kavasseri, Sankha Basu, Praveen Joshi, Shankar Natarajan, John Lautmann, Richard Pratt

Patent number: 7275094Abstract: A method for configuring contents of a network management notification includes receiving at a management station a list of notifications supported by an agent and sending a message to the agent specifying objects for each of the notifications. A notification containing the specified objects is received at the management station upon the occurrence of an event.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2000Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Keith McCloghrie, Ramanathan Kavasseri, Sandra Durham
-
Patent number: 7249359Abstract: A method for generating notification based expressions includes identifying notifications supported by an agent and specifying objects for at least one of the notifications. One or more expressions are defined based on objects specified for the notification. The method further includes sending a list of objects and expressions to the agent to configure the notifications received at a management station upon occurrence of an event at the agent.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2004Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Keith McCloghrie, Ramanathan Kavasseri, Sandra Durham

Patent number: 7171462Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for determining differences in the configuration states of network devices. Context-sensitive diffs are produced by comparing two configuration files of a network device. According to some aspects of the invention, the context of each command is preserved in a “programmatic” format that is usable by a network element such as a router. In some aspects of the invention, only commands at a corresponding hierarchical level of the configuration files are compared when producing a diff, in order to increase accuracy and efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2002Date of Patent: January 30, 2007Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Ramanathan Kavasseri, Sankha Basu, Praveen Joshi, Shankar Natarajan

Publication number: 20060161519Abstract: In a computer network, network management applications in a network management station manage and control managed elements connected to the network through the use of network management requests. The network management requests are prioritized by the management station or the managed element. The managed element prioritizes received requests by pre-assigning priority values corresponding to user identification values included in the request or by pre-assigning priority values corresponding to source identification values included in the request. The management station prioritizes the network management requests by adding a priority value to each network management requests before sending the request to the managed element. The managed element extracts the priority value directly from the request or dependent on the user identification or source identification included in the request.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2006Publication date: July 20, 2006Inventors: Robert Stewart, Ramanathan Kavasseri, Sandra Durham
