Abstract: A network node may determine parameters of an authenticated client session for a client device, wherein the parameters comprise a network address of the client device. The network node may determine inactivity of the client device in the authenticated client session. The network node may generate, based on determining the inactivity of the client device, an address resolution protocol (ARP) message or a neighbor solicitation (NS) message to send to the client device, wherein the ARP message or the NS message is to trigger a response from the client device to indicate that the network address of the client device is in use. The network node may provide, toward the client device, the ARP message or the NS message. The network node may perform one or more actions based on receiving or not receiving the response, from the client device, to the ARP message or the NS message.

Abstract: A device may determine that a first link of the device is active. The device may determine whether a Media Access Control Security (MACsec) session is established on the first link. The device may selectively enable or disable a second link of the device based on determining whether the MACsec session is established on the first link.

Abstract: A managing network node may provide, to a bootstrap device, a request for provisioning information to provision the managing network node and one or more managed network nodes, wherein the managing network node and the one or more managed network nodes have an existing relationship, wherein the request comprises a respective identifier for each of the managing network node and the one or more managed network nodes. The managing network node may receive, from the bootstrap device, the provisioning information, wherein the provisioning information includes first provisioning information for the managing network node and respective second provisioning information for each of the one or more managed network nodes. The managing network node may provision the managing network node using the first provisioning information and the one or more managed network nodes using the respective second provisioning information.
