Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure describes systems and methods for using a cluster-based actor identifier in link aggregation control protocol communications between an actor comprising an intermediary device of a cluster of intermediary devices and a non-cluster aware device. The system and methods include a cluster of intermediary devices in communication with a link aggregation control protocol enabled network device that is unaware of the cluster. A first intermediary device of the cluster generates an actor identifier, based on a cluster identifier that identifies the cluster, for each of the intermediary devices of the cluster to use as a system identifier for link aggregation control protocol communications and one or more intermediary devices transmit to the network device a link aggregation control protocol data unit that advertises the actor identifier as the system identifier for establishing a link aggregation between the cluster and the network device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of using a cluster-based actor identifier in link aggregation control protocol communications between an actor comprising an intermediary device of a cluster of intermediary devices and a non-cluster-aware device, the method comprising: (a) establishing a cluster of a plurality of intermediary devices, the cluster in communication with a network device that is unaware of the cluster, the network device is link aggregation control protocol enabled;…
