摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for indicating a bonding configuration mismatch of lines of bonding groups. The methods are performed in different nodes of a communications network. Said method comprises sending a Bonding Configuration Value via one line of the bonding group of lines, said Bonding Configuration Value being unique for said bonding group, and receiving a Bonding Configuration Value via each of the lines of the bonding group. It further comprises checking each received Bonding Configuration Value for diverging values. If a diverging Bonding Configuration Value is identified, an alarm message is generated and sent to Element Manager of the communications network.
摘要:
There is provided a method of operating a switch (10; 22) or an access node (20) in a network (2; 12), the switch or access node having a plurality of interfaces (64) through which data packets (30) can be received and forwarded, the network (2; 12) further comprising one or more gateway nodes (6; 16) and one or more user terminals (4; 14), each of the gateway nodes and the user terminals having a respective address, the method in the switch or access node comprising identifying the address for at least one of the gateway nodes (101); comparing a source address (32) specified in a data packet received from a user terminal at one of the interfaces of the switch or access node to the identified addresses for the one or more gateway nodes (103, 105); storing the source address specified in the data packet and the identity of the interface through which the data packet was received if the source address specified in the data packet does not match an address for any of the one or more gateway nodes (107); and discarding the data packet if the source address specified in the data packet matches an address for any of the one or more gateway nodes (111).
