Publication number: 20220303270Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for auto-configuring a network communication port such as an Ethernet port to which a network device is connected in a manner that eliminates or otherwise dramatically mitigates the manual effort required for port configuration, while at the same time, ensuring that network security is maintained by authenticating the device during the auto-configuration process. Various auto-configuration processes are described that include varying levels of verification processing to ensure that the network device connected to the port to be configured is a device that is authorized to connect to the network. In this manner, the threat of device spoofing is eliminated or otherwise substantially reduced. Auto-configuration of network ports in connection with switching a known network device to a new port or connecting a previously unknown network device to a network port are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2021Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: MATHIEU MERCIER, Robert Gagnon, Frederic Mouveaux, Guy Letourneau

Patent number: 11381971Abstract: A method of authorizing an access point includes receiving a first transmission signal from a first access point. The first transmission signal comprises identifying information of the first access point that includes a first token. The method includes receiving a second transmission signal from a client device. The second transmission signal includes a second token that is received by the client device from an un-provisioned access point. When a match is determined between the first token and the second token, the first access point is identified as the un-provisioned access point. The method includes transmitting the identifying information of the first access point and a request to the client device to authorize the un-provisioned access point. The method includes receiving a third transmission signal from the client device that includes an authorization verification of the un-provisioned access point that authorities the un-provisioned access point to connect to a cloud-managed network.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Mathieu Mercier, Robert Gagnon, Guy Letourneau, Stephane Laroche, Ho-Kuo Chan
