    摘要: A network device includes a first network processor that forwards packets based on a first forwarding information table; a second network processor that forwards packets based on a second forwarding information table; a first group of ports operably connected to the first network processor; and a second group of ports operably connected to the second network processor. The first forwarding information table specifies that packets, received by the first network processor, that specify a destination device reachable by the first group of ports and the second group of ports are forwarded by a port of the first group of ports. The second forwarding information table specifies that packets, received by the second network processor, that specify the destination device reachable by the first group of ports and the second group of ports are forwarded by a port of the second group of ports.

    摘要: A method for distributing network services for a network device through a multi-tenant network service. An identification parameter is associated with the device and is stored in a database by an orders management system after the device is ordered. The method includes establishing a network connection between a network device and a multi-tenant network service and, in response to establishing the network connection, obtaining device-associated identification parameter from the network device. The identification parameter is used to query the database for at least one record associated with the network device identifying a tenant of the multi-tenant network service in which the tenant corresponds to the device. The service maps the network device to the identified tenant of the multi-tenant network service and distributes network services based upon the mapping of the network device to the identified tenant.

    摘要: A system and method for managing network traffic is disclosed. The method includes determining an application domain, network elements associated with the application domain, and roles the network elements in the application domain. A virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) policy is generated for each of the network elements in the application domain based on the application domain and the role of each of the network elements in the application domain.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided herein for using a network device's software (e.g., programs executed on a CPU) to maintain and export flow data while offloading network resource intensive tasks to the network device's hardware. This may be accomplished by a network device determining whether a new flow should be tracked using only the software table (e.g., table stored only on the CPU) of the network device or whether certain flow tracking tasks (e.g., counting/parsing) can be offloaded to a hardware table (e.g., counter table in a hardware flow cache) of the network device. The network device may use one or more conditions to determine whether the new flow should be tracked using the software table or by both the software and the hardware table. The conditions can relate to the characteristics of the new flow, resource information, prioritization of the new flow, etc.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein relate to a system for positioning indicator lights of a network device. The system may include a circuit board, which may include a circuit board edge positioned behind a front panel of the network device, two surfaces; and a side of the circuit board edge positioned between the two surfaces. The system may also include a hole through the circuit board near the circuit board edge, a cutout extending from a portion of the hole to the side of the circuit board edge, a LED coupled to the surface of the circuit board and adapted to emit light into the hole, and a lightpipe disposed in the hole to receive light emitted from the LED into a first end of the lightpipe. The lightpipe may direct the light from a second end of the lightpipe toward an opening in the front panel of the network device.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided herein for a mechanism for faster convergence of network traffic after a network device's link is interrupted by leveraging the withdrawal of the ethernet virtual private network (EVPN) auto discovery (AD) route. This may be accomplished by a first device checking an ethernet segment identifier (ESI) status flag before generating an entry in the first device's forwarding table, where the entry is based on an IP route for a host received by a second network device. In response to receiving a withdrawal of an EVPN AD route from the second device, the first device may update the ESI status flag to indicate that the host on the ethernet segment (ES) is reachable only via the third device and update the entry that was based on the IP route for the host received by the second network device to prevent sending traffic to the host via the second device.
