  • Switching device interfaces
    Publication number: 20060013248
    Abstract: A device is switched from a first physical interface on the device to a second physical interface on the device based on information in an interface redundancy group. The information in the interface redundancy group identifies the first physical interface as a primary interface for the device and the second physical interface as a secondary interface for the device.

  • Determining an end point of a GRE tunnel
    Patent number: 6779051
    Abstract: An end point address of a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel is obtained by forwarding a data packet through the GRE tunnel to devices at a multicast address. The data packet includes a logical address of a GRE tunnel end point device. A reply to the data packet is received from a remote GRE tunnel end point device. The reply includes a physical address of the remote GRE tunnel end point device.

  • Method and apparatus providing for router redundancy of non internet protocols using the virtual router redundancy protocol
    Patent number: 6556547
    Abstract: A router providing router redundancy and fail-over protection for Internet Protocol (IP) and at least one other network layer protocol. The router Includes means for determining if the router has Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) enabled, means for determining if the router is a master virtual router for IP traffic, means for configuring the router with a VRRP based Media Access Control (MAC) address that overrides a physical MAC address assigned to a port at which VRRP is enabled, and means for transmitting the VRRP based MAC address in a Routing Information Protocol (RIP) update packet.
