Abstract: An off-road vehicle includes a frame, a vehicle cover, a prime mover assembly, an intake manifold, and an electrical control unit. An intake seat for the intake manifold is positioned above one of the rear side plates of the vehicle cover. An air filter for the intake manifold is positioned behind a rear baffle of the vehicle cover, which in turn is positioned behind the seat(s). The rear baffle defines an air filter access port, allowing the filter element in the air filter to be accessed and changed from within the cabin. Covers of the air filter access port and the air filter allow changing of the filter element without requiring any tools.

Abstract: A hub computer receives, from a first computer, a sender message comprising a promise corresponding to a transaction comprising a promise type, an amount, a first verification key associated with the first computer, computer code, and a digital signature. The hub computer verifies the promise by at least verifying the digital signature using the first verification key, verifying that the amount is less than a first computer amount, and verifying that the hub computer is able to process the promise type. The hub computer executes the computer code to perform the transaction.

Aspects can include mapping an endpoint group to multiple VMM domains, each VMM domain associated with one or more virtual machine management systems of a single type that each share one or more management system characteristics; instantiating a virtual switch instance, the virtual switch instance associated with a the VMM domain; and instantiating the endpoint group mapped to the VMM domain as a network component associated with the virtual switch instance.

Abstract: A method for programming a MAC address table by a first leaf node in a network comprising a plurality of leaf nodes is provided. Each leaf node comprises one or more Virtual Tunnel End Points (“VTEPs”) and instantiates a plurality of Virtual Routing and Forwarding elements (“VRFs”), with a corresponding Bridge Domain (“BD”) assigned to each VRF. The method includes obtaining information indicating one or more VTEP Affinity Groups (VAGs), each VAG comprising an identification of one VTEP per leaf node, obtaining information indicating assignment of each VRF to one of the VAGs, assigning each VAG to a unique Filtering Identifier (“FID”), thereby generating one or more FIDs, and programming the MAC address table, using FIDs instead of BDs, by populating the MAC address table with a plurality of entries, each entry comprising a unique combination of a FID and a MAC address of a leaf node.

Abstract: Presented herein are traffic pruning techniques that define the pruning at the group level. A software defined network (SDN) controller determines first and second endpoint groups (EPGs) of an SDN associated with the SDN controller. The SDN runs on a plurality of networking devices that interconnect a plurality of endpoints that are each attached to one or more host devices. The SDN controller determines a host-EPG mapping for the SDN, as well as a networking device-host mapping for the SDN. The SDN controller then uses the host-EPG mapping, the networking device-host mapping, and one or more group-based policies associated with traffic sent from the first EPG to the second EPG to compute hardware pruning policies defining how to prune multi-destination traffic sent from the first EPG to the second EPG. The hardware pruning policies are then installed in one or more of the networking devices or the host devices.

Abstract: The techniques presented herein use dynamic endpoint group (EPG) binding changes to facilitate cross-tenant resource sharing. A first node of a multi-tenant software defined network determines that an application on a first endpoint has initiated operation and needs temporary access to resources located at a second endpoint. The first and second endpoints are associated with first and second tenants, respectively, that are logically segregated from one another by the software defined network. The first node dynamically changes an initial EPG binding associated with the first endpoint to a second EPG binding that enables the first endpoint to temporarily directly access the resources at the second endpoint. The first node subsequently determines that the application on the first endpoint no longer needs access to the resources located at a second endpoint and, as such, changes the second EPG binding associated with the first endpoint back to the initial EPG binding.

Abstract: In accordance with one example embodiment, there is provided a system configured for virtual local area network (VLAN) blocking on a virtual port channel (vPC) member link to handle discrepant virtual network instance (VNI) to VLAN mappings. In other embodiments, the system can be configured for providing Virtual Switch Interface Discovery Protocol (VDP) and virtual switch enhancements to accommodate discrepant VNI to VLAN mappings. In another example embodiment, an apparatus is provided that includes a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor, where the apparatus is configured such that if a server is connected through a virtual port channel, a VDP is used to notify the server of different VNI to VLAN mappings. In another embodiment, the apparatus can extend a VDP Filter Info Field to carry a set of VLANs mapped to a VNI, keyed by leaf MAC addresses that serve as bridge identifiers.

Abstract: Coexistence and migration of legacy and VXLAN networks may be provided. A first anchor leaf switch and a second anchor leaf switch may detect that they can reach each other over a Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) overlay layer 2 network. In response to detecting that they can reach each other over the VXLAN, the second anchor leaf switch may block VLANs mapped to the VXLAN's VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI) on the second anchor leaf switch's ports connecting to spine routers. In addition, the first anchor leaf switch and the second anchor leaf switch may detect that they can reach each other over a physical layer 2 network. In response to detecting that they can reach each other over a physical layer 2 network, the second anchor leaf switch may block Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) segments at the second anchor leaf switch.
