  • Patent number: 11438234
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for validating endpoint information for nodes in a network. A network assurance appliance is configured to retrieve, from a first leaf node in a network, first endpoint information for a first set of endpoints connected to the first leaf node, wherein the first set of endpoints includes a virtual port channel (VPC) endpoint. The network assurance appliance retrieves second endpoint information from a second node in the network, compares the first endpoint information with the second endpoint information, and identifies an inconsistency when the first endpoint information and the second endpoint information do not match.

  • Patent number: 11405278
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for validating endpoint information for nodes in a network. A network assurance appliance is configured to retrieve an actual tunnel endpoint address for an endpoint in communication with a network fabric via a leaf node in the network fabric, identify a reference tunnel endpoint address for the endpoint, and determine that there is an inconsistency based on a comparison of the actual tunnel endpoint address with the reference tunnel endpoint address.

  • Publication number: 20200177483
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for validating endpoint information for nodes in a network. A network assurance appliance is configured to retrieve a configured static endpoint information in a logical model of a network from a network controller and connected static endpoint information from one or more nodes in the network. The network assurance appliance determines that there is an inconsistency based on a comparison of the configured static endpoint information and the connected static endpoint information and generating an event specifying the inconsistency.
