  • Patent number: 11632298
    Abstract: Configuration data associated with a router is converted. A selector tool identifies a first port of a first router having first data lines, and identifies a second port of a second router to receive the first data lines to be migrated from the first port. The first router and the second router use different, incompatible configuration data formats. A data transceiver captures first port configuration data associated with the first port of the first router, and a configuration data converter is to identify a type of interface associated with the captured first port configuration data and convert the captured first port configuration data from a first format compatible with the first router to a second format compatible with the second router based on the identified type of interface. A conversion file generator generates a configuration file containing the converted first port configuration data in the second format.

  • Patent number: 10833930
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to convert configuration data associated with a first router are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a selector tool to identify a first port of a first router having a first set of data lines, and identify, via the selector tool, a second port of a second router to receive the first set of data lines to be migrated from the first port of the first router. The first router and the second router use different, incompatible configuration data formats. A data transceiver is to capture first port configuration data associated with the first port of the first router. A configuration data converter is to identify a type of interface associated with the captured first port configuration data and convert the captured first port configuration data from a first format compatible with the first router to a second format compatible with the second router based on the identified type of interface.

  • Patent number: 10171296
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to convert configuration data associated with a first router are disclosed. Example methods include creating a configuration delete file that identifies configuration data to be removed from a second router prior to migrating a set of routes from the first router to the second router. Example methods further include using the configuration delete file to remove existing configuration data associated with a port of the second router, wherein the port of the second router is associated with data lines to be migrated from the first router to the second router.

  • Patent number: 9253043
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to convert configuration data associated with a first router are disclosed. Example methods include receiving via a graphical user interface a user selection of a first port associated with the first router and a second port associated with a second router and detecting data flow on a subinterface associated with the first port. The method also includes converting the configuration data from a first format to a second format based on the detected data flow, the configuration data being associated with the subinterface. In some examples, the method further includes preventing conversion of the configuration data associated with the subinterface if data flow is not detected.
