  • Patent number: 11979826
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure relate to selecting a transmitting virtual access point (VAP) for a MBSSID set. A method comprises selecting a VAP from a set of VAPs as a transmitting VAP based on context information about the set of VAPs, at least one of the set of VAPs other than the transmitting VAP being determined as at least one non-transmitting VAP The method also comprises generating a beacon frame for the set of VAPs by including an identifier of the transmitting VAP in a header part of the beacon frame and including at least one identifier of the at least one non-transmitting VAP in a payload part of the beacon frame. A generated beacon frame is broadcasted. In this way, a transmitting VAP of a set of VAPs is no longer determined by default, but can be selected for different cases.

    Abstract: One aspect of the present technology can provide a system for facilitating in-service software upgrade (ISSU) for a switch in a virtual switching stack. During operation, the system can initiate ISSU that facilitate uninterrupted traffic flow. The system can upgrade a first set of daemons of the switch that manage operations of the switch. The system can also upgrade a database stored on the switch. The database can store operational information of the switch. The system can further upgrade a second set of daemons of the switch that configure forwarding information on the forwarding hardware of the switch and facilitate data-plane operations for the switch. The forwarding information configured on the forwarding hardware can remain unchanged during the upgrade. The system can configure the upgraded second set of daemons to obtain control-plane information from a standby switch of a conductor switch of the virtual switching stack.

  • Patent number: 11978523
    Abstract: Examples of the presently disclosed technology provide new circuits for detecting errors in aCAMs with improved efficiency. Specifically designed around the structure and operation of aCAM arrays, these circuits include counter sub-circuits electrically connected to match lines of aCAM rows such that the counter sub-circuits receive match-related signals output from aCAM rows. The value stored by a counter sub-circuit may change in response to receiving a match signal, and may remain the same in response to receiving a mismatch signal. As will be described in greater detail below, the stored value of the counter sub-circuit may be used to detect/identify an error in its associated aCAM row after a set of (specially-computed) error-detection input vectors are sequentially applied to the circuit.

  • Patent number: 11979288
    Abstract: Systems are methods are described which allow for “zero-touch” provisioning (ZTP) to be used to seamlessly bring up devices such as Gateways/Access Points/Switches or any other networking devices connected over different uplink types such as aggregated links (Static LAG, LACP), trunk ports, and the like. Provisioning is adapted specifically for trunk and/or LACP ports in order to maintain the automation and optimization benefits typically provided by ZTP. A method can include transmitting a discover message, and receiving a response message based on the discover message. Then, determining whether a pre-defined extension is included in the response message that indicates a port type and a virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration. Automatic configuration of one or more ports and a VLAN can be performed as indicated by the pre-defined extension. Thus, ZTP can be restarted in accordance with the configuration of the network device.

  • Patent number: 11971765
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein allow a configurable policy for managing Power over Ethernet (PoE) to be implemented by Power Sourcing Equipments (PSEs) across a network. The policy specifies a set of rules for prioritizing power distribution over Ethernet for the computer network. When Powered Devices (PDs) are connected via Ethernet cables to the PSEs, the PDs send identification information about themselves (e.g., device type and location) to the PSEs. The PSEs assign priority levels to the PDs by electronically comparing the identification information to the set of rules. When a present level of available power is insufficient to power all the PDs via PoE, the PSEs use the priority levels to determine which PDs to power down.

  • Patent number: 11972250
    Abstract: Examples of performing an out-of-band firmware update of a server computing device are described. In an example, a first disk image is mounted onto a server computing device. The first disk image comprises a bootable firmware and is mounted in response to a mount command received through an out-of-band communication service. In another example, a second disk image is also mounted onto the server computing device. The second disk image is also mounted in response to another mount command received through the out-of-band communication service and is to provide a read-writable container, when mounted. Thereafter, a booting process of the server computing device may be initiated based on mounted first image to update the firmware of the server computing device. Information related to the update of the firmware is store in the read-writable container.

  • Patent number: 11964436
    Abstract: In an example, a method includes operating, by a processor, on object model data and operating, on a processor, on pattern data. The object model data describes at least part of an object to be generated in additive manufacturing and the pattern data describes an object pattern intended to be formed on at least a portion of the part of the object to be generated in additive manufacturing. The method includes determining, by a processor, control data to control a print agent applicator to apply a pattern of fusing agent onto a part of a layer of build material. The pattern of fusing agent comprises a fusing agent area and a gap area that lacks fusing agent. The gap area corresponds to the object pattern such that no fusing agent is applied to a part of the layer of build material that corresponds to the object pattern.

  • Patent number: 11966309
    Abstract: One aspect provides a method and system for saturation of multiple I/O slots by multiple testing ports and verification of link health in between. During operation, the system detects a testing card with a plurality of test ports which are coupled to a plurality of input/output (I/O) slots of a computing device. The system communicates with the plurality of test ports via the plurality of I/O slots. The system generates, by the computing device, a script for each test port, wherein the script comprises a series of read and write operations to be executed by the testing card on a memory device associated with the computing device. The system allows the plurality of test ports to execute the script and perform the corresponding read operations and write operations, thereby facilitating testing of the I/O slots of the computing device in parallel by the test ports of the single testing card.

  • Patent number: 11968116
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for performing lossy dropping and ECN marking in a flow-based network. The system can maintain state information of individual packet flows, which can be set up or released dynamically based on injected data. Each flow can be provided with a flow-specific input queue upon arriving at a switch. Packets of a respective flow are acknowledged after reaching the egress point of the network, and the acknowledgement packets are sent back to the ingress point of the flow along the same data path. As a result, each switch can obtain state information of each flow and perform per-flow packet dropping and ECN marking.
