Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method of configuration of link aggregation groups includes a control unit and a port coupled to the control unit and configured to couple the network switching device to a neighboring switch. The control unit is configured to transmit a probe message to the neighboring switch, receive a remote switch identifier and link aggregation group (LAG) identifier from the neighboring switch, determine whether the remote switch identifier matches a previously received remote switch identifier and the remote LAG identifier matches a previously received remote LAG identifier. When both match, determine a first LAG associated with the previously received remote switch identifier and the previously received remote LAG identifier and assign the port to the first LAG. When both do not match, to create a second LAG, assign the port to the second LAG, and associate the remote switch identifier and the remote LAG identifier with the second LAG.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A network switching device comprising: a control unit; and a port coupled to the control unit and configured to couple the network switching device to a neighboring switch; wherein the control unit is configured to: transmit a probe message to the neighboring switch using the port; receive a remote switch identifier and a remote link aggregation group (LAG) identifier from the neighboring switch on the port; determine whether the remote switch ident…
