    Abstract: A system for facilitating segmentation by a first switch of an overlay tunnel fabric is provided. During operation, the system can receive a route update packet for the fabric. The packet can be based on a control plane that allows the exchange of route information via the tunnel and can include a first media access control (MAC) address learned at a second switch and a first role identifier of a first role. The first role can indicate a level of access granted to a first device associated with the first MAC address. The system can store the first MAC address and the first role identifier in a local address data structure. Upon receiving a packet from the first device, the system can then determine, based on the first role identifier and a first segmentation policy, whether a local device is allowed to receive the packet from the first device.

    Abstract: Some examples relate to a proxy service on a network device for applying a group based policy (GBP) to network traffic from a client. In an example, a proxy service on a network device is used to intercept a network access request message, pertaining to a client, from an access device. The proxy service forwards the network access request message to an authentication server. The server responds by sending a network access response message to the access device. The proxy service intercepts the network access response message from the authentication server and obtains the role information of the client from the network access response message. In response to receiving network traffic from the client, the proxy service identifies a GBP corresponding to the role information of the client and applies the GBP to the network traffic from the client.

    Abstract: Examples herein are directed to centralized database based multicast converging. For instance, in various examples centralized database based multicast converging can include starting a restart timer having a value greater than a time to validate stored entries in a centralized database, sending data packets at least to hosts on the network corresponding to the stored entries in the centralized database to maintain service to the hosts while the restart timer is running, sending query packets to validate a host corresponding to an entry of the stored entries in the centralized database, and responsive to the restart timer expiring, sending data packets to a converged group of hosts including at least the validated host.

    Abstract: A network management service controls the flow of messages (e.g., management messages) with a credit-based system. The network management service may be a cloud-based network management service. A message credit quantity for a managed network device is calculated by the network management service based on multiple criteria. The message credit quantity is communicated to the managed network device. The managed network device limits its sending of management messages to the network management service based on its assigned quantity of message credits.

    Abstract: Some examples relate to managing multicast scaling. In an example, a determination may be made at a network device whether more than a pre-defined percentage of ports of a virtual LAN (VLAN) are associated with an IP multicast group. In response to the determination that more than a pre-defined percentage of ports on the VLAN are associated with the IP multicast group, a flood filter may be programmed on the network device for the VLAN. A hardware filter previously associated with the IP multicast group may be disassociated.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to providing a failover in a MACsec capable device. In an example, a primary management engine that runs a protocol of MACsec standard in a MACsec capable device may determine whether a parameter related to a protocol of MACsec standard on the MACsec capable device has changed. In response to the determination that the parameter has changed, primary management engine may synchronize data related to the parameter to a secondary management engine, which acts as a failover component for the primary management engine. In response to a determination that the primary management engine has failed, secondary management engine may recreate the latest state of the protocol of MACsec standard in the MACsec capable device prior to the failure of the primary management engine, based on the data related to the parameter.

    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method includes stopping platform daemons of a standalone network device; creating an ISSU cache; storing forwarding information in the ISSU cache to freeze the forwarding information; installing an updated state database; storing the forwarding information from the ISSU cache in the updated state database; generating a warm boot file for a line card daemon; installing an updated line card daemon; recovering an internal state of a line card to the updated line card daemon using the warm boot file; connecting the updated line card daemon to the updated state database; syncing the updated state database to a non-updated state database; unfreezing the forwarding information by allowing the updated line card daemon to update the forwarding information of the line card using information from the updated state database; updating control plane daemons of the standalone network device; and updating the platform daemons of the standalone network device.
