  • Parallel VLAN and non-VLAN device configuration
    Patent number: 8064469
    Abstract: A cloning device driver system includes a subsystem to configure a virtual local area network (VLAN) switch port configuration for tagged operation and a subsystem to configure a non-virtual local area network (non-VLAN) switch port configuration for tagged operation. In operation, the cloning device driver system allows modification of the non-VLAN switch port configuration independent of the VLAN port configuration, thereby allowing an information signal to pass to a physical layer (PHY) of an open system interconnection (OSI) device.
    Type: Grant
