Abstract:
An aggregation device may detect a change to a status of a campus network. The campus network may include a set of satellite clusters. Each satellite cluster, of the set of satellite clusters, may include one or more satellite devices. The aggregation device may generate one or more satellite cluster specific control messages (SCSCMs) to update the campus network based on detecting the change to the status of the campus network. The one or more SCSCMs may include at least one of a control-and-status protocol (CSP) message, or a link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) message. The aggregation device may include information relating to the set of satellite clusters in a configurable portion of the one or more SCSCMs. The aggregation device may transmit the one or more SCSCMs with a border satellite device, of the one or more satellite devices, to update the campus network.
