  • Patent number: 11902804
    Abstract: The present technology is directed to providing fault management with dynamic restricted access in a tenant network. The tenant network can be a private 5G cellular network or other wireless communication network. The present technology can identify a fault event within the tenant network based on received telemetry data, associate the fault event with a vendor component included in the tenant network, and generate a vendor fault context. The vendor fault context can be generated to include only the portion of telemetry data that is determined to be related to the fault event or the vendor component. The present technology can further use the vendor fault context to create a time-bound user account for remotely accessing the tenant network for fault triage and management. The time-bound user account can be associated to a static role-based access control (RBAC) scheme configured with access restrictions determined based on the vendor fault context.

  • Patent number: 11902051
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for detecting misconfigured VLANs. In some embodiments, traffic on a VLAN across multiple access points is categorized. Traffic on the VLAN at a single access point is then also categorized. The categorization of the VLAN traffic at the single access point can be in response to, for example, communication errors or other conditions. The two categorizations are then compared to determine if the VLAN traffic at the AP is consistent with the VLAN traffic across a network (e.g., an enterprise network). If the VLAN traffic at the AP is generally consistent with that across the network, this may indicate that a downstream network component, such as a switch or router, is misconfigured. Thus, some embodiments programmatically reconfigure the downstream component to forward traffic for the VLAN.
