Abstract: Remote configuration of network interface cards (NICs) on appliances of a scaleable compute resource such as a frame-based system is disclosed. Frames may include a frame link module (FLM). Remote configuration of NICs may allow for multiple networks to be maintained in physical or logical isolation from each other. For example, a management data network may be maintained independently of an application data network. An FLM CPU may detect an appliance, validate compatibility for the appliance, a midplane, a PHY connection, etc. Commands from the FLM CPU may configure the independent networks. Independent networks may provide redundancy and segregation by data type. A controller area network (CAN) bus may deliver configuration commands to a NIC of an attached appliance. Air gap equivalent isolation of networks based on type of network may be achieved while maintaining redundancy of networks to address potential failure of individual components.

Abstract: Examples herein involve dividing a ring protection network into multiple ring protection networks. Examples include detecting a disconnection in a ring protection network, determining whether an owner of the ring protection network is in a new ring protection network divided from the ring protection network, and establishing an owner of the new ring protection network based on whether the owner of the ring protection network is in the new ring protection network.

Abstract: According to an example method, it is determined that a first network node in a ring network is claimed by a first managing device and a second network node in the ring network is claimed by a second managing device. The ring network includes a single link to a customer network. The second network node is then isolated from the first network node. A separate linear network is formed including the second network node. Upon reset of the second network node to an unclaimed status, the second network node is claimed by the first managing device.

Abstract: Examples associated with ring network uplink designation are disclosed. One example includes detecting an operable connection between a member of a ring network and an external network. The operable connection may be detected by the member of the ring network. A signal is provided to a ring network management daemon. The signal may indicate the member of the ring network has the operable connection to the external network. A signal is received from the ring network management daemon. The signal may designate the ring network as an active uplink to the external network. The operable connection between the ring network and the external network is activated. Once activated, the operable connection may facilitate communication between members of the ring network and the external network.
