  • System and method for managing a network device
    Patent number: 11838178
    Abstract: In general, embodiments described herein relate to methods and systems for automating the configuration of network devices. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to using configuration commands that specify protocol-specified relationships in order to generate granular (or specific) filtering rules (also referred to as rules). The rules are subsequently programmed into the network device.

  • Fine-grained control over routing resolution behavior
    Patent number: 11539624
    Abstract: Routes in an address group are generally resolved according to a next hop resolution profile that applies across the address group. Individual next hop resolution profiles can be defined and associated with specific routes within the address group. Those specific routes are resolved according to their respective associated next hop resolution profiles, thereby bypassing the next hop resolution profile of the address group to provide control over the resolution behavior at the granularity of individual routes within the address group.
