Abstract: A multi-port configuration system includes a network switch including a plurality of ports and a user device that is configured to couple to the network switch. Each of the plurality of ports is configured to operate in at least one of a plurality of modes. A congruent graphical representation of the network switch is displayed on the user device, and a selection of a group of ports of the plurality of ports is received. Based on the received selection of the group of ports, available configuration settings for the group of ports are displayed on the user device. A configuration settings selection, selected from the available configuration settings, for configuring the group of ports is received. The configuration settings selection is provided to the network switch to configure the group of ports.

Abstract: A networked system includes a network. A secondary device is coupled to the network. A primary device is coupled to the network and includes a key device connector. The primary device may detect that a key device that includes a plurality of configuration information is coupled to the key device connector. The primary device then retrieves first configuration information of the plurality of configuration information from the key device for the primary device and configures the primary device using the first configuration information. The primary device then discovers the secondary device through the network, retrieves second configuration information of the plurality of configuration information from the key device for the secondary device, and provides the second configuration information over the network to the secondary device to initiate configuration of the secondary device using the second configuration information.

Abstract: A pallet moulded from plastics material for supporting a flexible intermediate bulk container. It has a generally planar central panel portion, a pair of parallel inverted open channels extending across the pallet to form a respective pair of open-ended tunnels each tunnel having an upper wall and two side walls, and a pair of edge panel portions generally co-planar with the central panel. An array of raised elongate hump portions bulges upwards from the upper walls of the tunnels, each hump portion extending laterally across an upper wall. The two ends of the hump portions abut respective buttresses which extend up the side walls.

Abstract: A power distribution system includes a chassis with a plurality of ports that include a first port configured to communicate with powering devices and a second port configured to communicate with powered devices. A power distribution engine in the chassis is coupled to each of the plurality of ports. The power distribution engine determines that power available to the power distribution engine is insufficient to power a first powered device that is coupled to the first port, requests power from a first powering device that is coupled to the second port, and provides power that is received through the second port from the first powering device to the first powered device through the first port. In an embodiment, the first powered device and the second powered device are switch IHSs, the first port is configured as a trunk port, and the second port is configured as an access port.

Abstract: A networking device testing system includes a testing device that is connected to a load generator device and a networking device. The testing device includes a testing device chassis. First testing device connectors are included on the testing device chassis and are each connected to a respective networking device connectors on the networking device. Pairs of the first testing device connectors are coupled together such that traffic received through one of the first testing device connectors in each pair is directed to the other of the first testing device connectors in each pair. Second testing device connectors are included on the testing device chassis. At least one of the second testing device connectors is connected to the load generator device. Each of the second testing device connectors is coupled to a respective one of the first testing device connectors.

Abstract: A switch failure recovery system includes a network and a backup device that is coupled to the network. A first switch that includes a first switch memory system is also coupled to the network. The first switch stores a first switch configuration in the first switch memory system. The first switch then detects a failure issue associated with an imminent failure of the first switch and, in response, retrieves the first switch configuration from the first switch memory system, The first switch then sends the first switch configuration over the network to the backup device prior to an inability to communicate over the network due to the failure issue. The backup device may then provide the first switch configuration for application to the first switch (upon recovery) or a second switch that is coupled to the network.

Abstract: A lockout prevention system includes a management Information Handling System (IHS) that is coupled through a network to network interface on a networking device. The networking device receives a configuration instruction through the network interface from the management IHS. The networking device then determines that the application of the configuration instruction will inhibit the communication between the management IHS and the networking device through the network interface. The networking device then provide a warning message for display on the management IHS in response to determining that the application of the configuration instruction will inhibit the communication between the management IHS and the networking device through the network interface.
