  • WWAN-enabled remote switch management system
    Patent number: 10680879
    Abstract: A Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN)-enabled remote switch management system includes a management device having a management device WWAN communication subsystem that is configured to transmit management commands from the management device through a WWAN. The WWAN-enabled remote switch management system also includes a switch device having a chassis. A switch device wired communication subsystem is located in the chassis, coupled to a Local Area Network (LAN), and is not coupled to the Internet. A switch device WWAN communication subsystem is located in the chassis and is configured to receive management commands from the management device through the WWAN. A switch management engine is located in the chassis, coupled to the switch device WWAN communication subsystem, and is configured to receive the management commands from the switch device WWAN communication subsystem, and execute the management commands to perform a management action on the switch device.

  • System and method for automatic detection of network port configuration mismatch
    Publication number: 20070274239
    Abstract: A method for automatically detecting a port configuration mismatch between a switch and its peer switch comprises listening, by the switch, to its peer switch's advertisement of its duplex setting, generating a warning notification in response to the peer switch advertising as capable of only operating at half duplex and the switch being set to an auto-negotiate setting, and transmitting the warning notification to a user.
