Abstract: A technique is configured to utilize messages (e.g., frames) generated by a first layer of a protocol stack for a wireless network to configure network parameters associated with a second layer of the protocol stack for a wired network. The messages are illustratively beacon frames generated by a data link layer of a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack for a wireless network, and the network parameters are illustratively IP addresses associated with a network layer of the TCP/IP stack for a wired network. Notably, the beacon frames of the wireless network may be utilized for two-way communication exchange on a per node basis for each node in the wired network.

Abstract: One or more nodes on a network can perform network discovery operations to obtain information regarding network configuration parameters for the nodes on the network. The network configuration data can be compared and used to determine if there are mismatches between the various node's configurations. A mismatch can indicate that a node is misconfigured, which can result in significant degradation in performance of the node or of the network system as a whole. The network configuration data can be used to automatically resolve errors in configuration or to provide reports on potential errors in configuration. Additionally, the network configuration data that is discovered by a node can be used to establish an initial configuration for the node.

Abstract: One or more nodes on a network can run a network discovery service to obtain information regarding network configuration parameters for the nodes on the network by passively listening for packets received on one or more ports. The discovered network configuration data can be used to identify a configuration for various types of nodes. The configuration can then be used to facilitate checking, testing, or self-configuration of a network configuration of one of the nodes (e.g., a lead node or a new node).
