Abstract:
A communication apparatus comprises a CAM, an action determination unit, and a CAM diagnosis unit. The CAM includes, a plurality of entries each storing therein at least a portion of header information of frame, and a search circuit for each entry configured to determine whether or not a search key matches data stored at the entry. The search key is correlated with information indicating whether or not an entry matching the search key and an expected value of a search result including identification information of an entry matching the search key. The CAM diagnosis unit causes the CAM to search for an entry matching the search key. The CAM diagnosis unit diagnoses a failure occurring at the search circuit of an entry to be the test object when the result of the search does not match the expected value of a search result correlated to the search key.

Abstract:
A transfer apparatus includes a CPU, a memory, a recovery control unit, a non-volatile memory coupled to the recovery control unit, a transfer engine, and a volatile memory, wherein the volatile memory stores a first transfer information base, wherein the non-volatile memory stores a second transfer information base, and the recovery control unit is configured to update the second transfer information base in a case of receiving an instruction to update the second transfer information base, transmit an instruction to update the first transfer information base to the transfer engine, check the consistency of the first transfer information base and the second transfer information base in a case where the transfer apparatus is rebooted, and recover the first transfer information base by using the second transfer information base in a case where the first transfer information base and the second transfer information base are consistent.
Abstract:
An authentication switch monitors a failure of an external server, and redirect information to a Web server that holds authentication information registration screen data is provided to a terminal using a monitoring result. A life-and-death monitoring control unit for monitoring life and death of an external Web server is disposed within an authentication switch to monitor the life and death of the external Web server. An authentication processing unit within the authentication switch switches the redirect information on the basis of a life-and-death monitoring table of the external Web server provided in the life-and-death monitoring control unit in response to an authentication request from the terminal, and enables web authentication even when the external Web server is in failure.
Abstract:
A first network device includes a forwarding controller configured to forward received data and a fault detector configured to detect occurrence of a failure in a remote second relay node. The forwarding controller includes a forwarding unit configured to forward the received data and a modifier configured to modify the received data for detection of the occurrence of a failure in the second relay node. The modifier includes a flag option marker configured to attach a flag to data, a sequence adding unit configured to add a protocol specific number to a sequence number, and a sequence subtracting unit configured to subtract the protocol specific number from an acknowledgement number. The fault detector detects the occurrence of a failure in the remote second relay node based on at least one of the flag or the acknowledgement number.
Abstract:
It is provided a communication apparatus, including: a plurality of circuit boards; a casing configured such that air is controlled to flow in a ventilation direction: a coupling plate being arranged between a first surface and a second surface in the casing, and having ventilation holes for communicating a first space on the first surface side and a second space on the second surface side to each other, the coupling plate having the plurality of circuit boards coupled to a third surface which faces the first surface; and cables routed in a third space defined in the second space excluding fourth spaces in which the ventilation holes are projected on the second surface in the ventilation direction, the cables coupling the plurality of circuit boards to each other on a fourth surface which faces the second surface so that the plurality of circuit boards are communicable to each other.
Abstract:
A communication device includes a transfer control unit and a function execution module having a physical processor. The communication device migrates a first process execution unit operated by the function execution module and a management memory to a function execution module of a migration destination. The function execution module notifies the function execution module of the migration destination of information to specify a program allocated to a second process execution unit and information regarding allocation of the physical processor. The function execution module of the migration destination downloads a program file to start the second process execution unit, operates a program of a new second process execution unit by the function execution module of the migration destination, discards the temporary data on the memory of the second process execution unit, and migrates the second process execution unit to the function execution module of the migration destination.
Abstract:
A management apparatus includes user group information for managing the terminals by grouping terminals into groups each corresponding to service use conditions of terminals belonging to the group, and service information for associating each of the services provided by the service providing resources with paths for passing data when a terminal uses the service and a failure group which is affected by a failure when the failure occurs in one of the paths. When a failure occurs in one of the paths in the network, the management apparatus refers to the service information to identify a service for which the paths in the service information include the failed path as a failed service, identifies a failure group associated with the identified failed service, refers to the user group information to identify terminals belonging to the identified failure group as failure terminals, and reports the identified failure terminals.
Abstract:
A first network switching device communicates to and from a second network switching device different in at least one of a device configuration and a device performance. The network switching device has at least one of plurality of network interface units and packet forwarding unit which is a power state control subject. A power state control unit of the first network switching device transmits, in order to change the power state of the second network switching device, a forwarding performance notification including the forwarding performance of a power state control subject after the change to the second network switching device.
Abstract:
A simple configuration for cooling comprises a front-back air supply and exhaust system. A first circuit board is located in front of a relay circuit board. A cooling unit and a second circuit board are placed behind the relay circuit board in a chassis. A first air passage allows intake air through an intake hole in a front side of the first circuit board unit to pass through the first circuit board and then through an opening in the relay circuit board to the cooling unit. A second air passage allows intake air through an intake hole in a front face of the chassis to pass through a lateral side of the first circuit board and then through a vent hole in a partition provided at the lateral side of the first circuit board. The second circuit board is placed in the second air passage.
