  • Method for automatically changing a topology of a plurality of network switches
    Patent number: 12683889
    Abstract: A method for automatically changing a topology includes: activating a number (i) of network switches included in a stack, a last switch and first (i?1) network switches being included in the stack; deactivating one of the activated switches as a deactivated switch; decoupling the last switch from the other activated switches, and resetting the last switch; disabling settings of Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) between the last switch and a switch device, disabling settings of LACP between the last switch and a neighboring device, and performing a reset configuration operation to reconfigure a connection setting between the last switch and the switch device and a connection setting between the last switch and the neighboring device; and establishing settings of LACP between the last switch and each of the network switches that is neither the deactivated switch nor the last switch.
