    Abstract: Authenticating a networking appliance attempting to attach to a network includes receiving at least one value associated with an identity of the networking appliance; receiving a certificate signing request (CSR) from the networking appliance, wherein the CSR comprises credential data associated with the identity of the networking appliance; and generating an appliance certificate based on the credential data and a certificate authority (CA) certificate associated with the computer. The method also includes returning the appliance certificate to the networking appliance; receiving a request from the networking appliance to attach to the network; and authenticating the identity of the networking appliance based on both a) the at least one value associated with the identity of the networking appliance; and b) the appliance certificate.

    Abstract: A POE powered network adapter incorporating OVS and FA capabilities includes one or more Ethernet ports. The device derives power from an external source over one of the Ethernet ports and delivers power over at least one other Ethernet port or ports to attached devices. Further, the device does not use a fan for cooling and uses an Open Flow compliant software based Datapath implementation. The OF compliant software based Datapath implementation is OVS. The device could also run proprietary vendor software. The device implements the Fabric Attach/Auto Attach (FA/AA) client/proxy capabilities. Additionally, embodiments include secure boot technologies to ensure that the only operational images that can be loaded on these device(s) are the ones that are approved by the vendor of the equipment. Additionally, coupling of the device to a specified device is supported wherein communication between said device and any other device is rejected.

    Abstract translation: 包含OVS和FA功能的POE供电网络适配器包括一个或多个以太网端口。 该设备通过一个以太网端口从外部源获取电力,并将至少一个其他以太网端口或端口的电源交付给连接的设备。 此外,该设备不使用风扇进行冷却,并且使用基于Open Flow的基于软件的Datapath实现。 基于OF软件的Datapath实现是OVS。 该设备还可以运行专有的供应商软件。 该设备实现了Fabric Attach / Auto Attach(FA / AA)客户端/代理功能。 此外,实施例包括安全引导技术,以确保可以加载在这些设备上的唯一可操作的图像是由设备的供应商批准的那些。 此外,支持将设备耦合到指定的设备,其中所述设备和任何其他设备之间的通信被拒绝。
