  • Underlay network formation
    Patent number: 10721133
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a supervisory device designates a particular networking device among a set of networking devices as a seed device and one or more interfaces of the seed device as discovery interfaces. The supervisory device coordinates, starting from the one or more discovery interfaces of the seed device, discovery of a Layer 2 topology of the set of networking devices, by designating one or more interfaces of a discovered networking device as discovery interfaces. The supervisory device converts, starting from at least one of the network devices farthest from the seed device in the Layer 2 topology and ending with the seed device, links of the Layer 2 topology into Layer 3 links, to form an underlay network.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 8, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 21, 2020
    Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.

  • Advanced persistent threat mitigation
    Patent number: 10205738
    Abstract: A method is presented in which a system reduces the risk of an advanced persistent threat (“APT”) detected at one or more network devices by implementing one or more mitigation actions depending on the nature of the detected threat. Accordingly, in response to detecting the risk of an APT at one or more network devices, a centralized controller implements one or more mitigation actions to minimize the vulnerability of an enterprise network to unauthorized access to one or more network resources. A centralized controller may therefore instruct one or more network devices to take appropriate mitigation actions depending on the nature of an APT detected on one or more network devices.
