Abstract: According to an example, a guide bracket and an electronic device adopting the guide bracket are provided. A free end of a resilient sheet installed in a wall of the guide bracket is to be held by a snap-fit part set in a chassis beyond the external surface of the wall where the resilient sheet is located to implement position limiting of the guide bracket in the forward-backward direction. The free end of the resilient sheet is to retreat inwards with the bending of the resilient sheet towards the interior of the wall where the resilient sheet is located to avoid the snap-fit part.

Abstract: According to an example, in a method and apparatus for notifying a LSP, the downstream LSR detecting the link failure on the work LSP sends a SF message on the direction of the work LSP, so that the upstream LSR detecting the link failure on the work LSP receives the SF message and sends the packet via the protection LSP according to the SF message.

Abstract: Calculating routing after switching occurs from a primary main control board to a standby main control board in a Fiber Channel (FC) switch includes receiving neighbor Link State Records (LSRs) sent by the primary main control board and backing up the neighbor LSRs on the standby main control board. The standby main control board is triggered to be promoted to the primary main control board, and an adjacency relationship is established with neighbors according to the backed up neighbor LSRs. LSRs of the switch are generated based on available ports on the switch and the neighbors, and a message is sent for maintaining the adjacency relationship to the neighbors with which the adjacency relationship has been established. Routing is calculated based on the neighbor LSRs and the LSRs of the switch.

The switch controller restricts packet forwarding actions on the ports according to the assigned primary VLAN, the assigned secondary VLAN, and the assigned VDS to the ports and the stored rules.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes assignment of Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) session identifiers (IDs). A PPPoE server receives a session request from a first PPPoE client to establish a new session with the PPPoE server. Based on the session request, the PPPoE server selects a session ID for the new session with the first PPPoE client and broadcasts a probe request carrying the session ID and a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the PPPoE server. When a probe response carrying the session ID is received from a second PPPoE client within a predetermined time period, the probe response indicating that a prior session previously established with the second PPPoE client is assigned with same session ID, the PPPoE server terminates the prior session with the second PPPoE client before assigning the session ID to the new session with the first PPPoE client.

Abstract: Schedules which include reciprocal events, such as schedules for youth hockey leagues, can be created using a system in which users can invite one another to schedule games based on information selected through an interface and reciprocal dates which are automatically identified by a suitably programmed computer. Information related to games and schedules can be stored in a database which can be accessed and modified by different users depending on their roles and the permissions associated with those roles.

Abstract: In a portal authentication method, a DHCP request message sent by a terminal is received by an AC. In response to finding that a user of the terminal is an unauthenticated user, a private network IP address is assigned to the terminal. After portal authentication of the terminal is finished, a wireless connection of the terminal is terminated by the AC. When a DHCP request message sent by the terminal again is received, a determination that the user of the terminal passes the authentication is made by the AC, a public network IP address is assigned to the terminal, and an accounting request message is sent to a RADIUS server. After finding that the terminal is offline, an accounting stop message is sent by the AC to the RADIUS server, the wireless connection of the terminal is disconnected, and the public network IP address is released.

Abstract: Bundling a cross-board Point-to-Point (PPP) Multilink Protocol (MP), according to an example, includes: negotiating with a first device, by a second device, to determine a maximum number of sessions supported by an MP link, when the MP link is established between the first device and the second device, allocating, by the second device, sessions to interfaces board of the second device such that the sessions are distributed among a plurality of interface boards of the second device; when receiving an MP fragment packet from the first device, the second device determines an interface board to which a session is allocated according to a session identification (ID) of the MP fragment packet, and sends the MP fragment packet to that interface board.

Abstract: According to an example, a traffic management method includes that an edge device of a data center site receives first-hop gateway information of at least one remote data center sites from an edge device of the at least one remote data center site, checks whether a local first-hop gateway has failed, and in response to the local first-hop gateway being determined as having failed, transmits a packet originating within the data center site and addressed to the local first hop gateway to an edge device of a remote data center site.

Abstract: A part of a non-default multitenant device context (MDC) is located on a member device of that forms part of a logical network device. The non-default MDC part assigns a first downlink port to a first downlink port group, assigns a first uplink port to a first uplink port group, and monitors a stacking port to another part of the non-default MDC on another member device that forms part of the logical network device. When the stacking port changes to the down state, the non-default MDC part determines if the first downlink port group and the first uplink port group are in the up state. If so, the non-default MDC part maintains the states of the ports in the first downlink port group and the first uplink port group. Otherwise the non-default MDC part makes changes so the ports in the first downlink port group and the first uplink port group are in the down state.

Abstract: A method for controlling the traffic of an authentication server and an authentication access apparatus, wherein a local area network token bucket including a high priority token bucket and a low priority token bucket is set according to the capability of the authentication server in processing the request message, and the request message sent by the authentication client is redirected to the authentication server after allocating a token to the authentication client, thus the traffic of the authentication server is controlled, so that the authentication server will not receive more request messages than it can handle. Meanwhile, the tokens in the high priority token bucket are reserved specially for authentication clients of a high priority, and they cannot be used by authentication clients that are not of a high priority, so the quality of service for authentication clients of a high priority is improved.

Abstract: A method for constructing a network enabling layer-2 interconnection of data centers includes: a current data center registers at a neighbor server when the current data center gets online, obtains information of all registered data centers, generates a virtual bridge port for each registered data center; after the current data center comes online, the current data center obtains information of all newly registered data centers according to a pre-set rule, generates a virtual bridge port for each newly registered data center; establishes a tunnel to each registered data center by using the virtual bridge port corresponding to the registered data center, and transmit data via the tunnel.

Abstract: An attribute propagation method and a switch system based on a fiber channel network are disclosed. According to the present invention, after an attribute is registered on one of its ports, each switch can automatically use its port on the other side to propagate this attribute, and a next adjacent switch can register this attribute on its port on the same side, so that ports on one side of all switches can have this attribute registered automatically. Hereafter, after the attribute is registered its port on the other side, each switch can automatically use its port on said one side that has been registered to propagate this attribute reversely and a next adjacent can register this attribute on its port on the other side, so that ports on the other side of all switches can automatically have this attribute registered. In this way, there is no need to manually configure each port.
