Abstract: Techniques for leveraging a software defined tracking architecture to track endpoint connected to a network fabric are described. An orchestrator of a network fabric receives port information indicating a port of a fabric edge device to which an endpoint is connected. The orchestrator transmits the port information to a network node in the network fabric enabling data-plane traffic inspection. Using the port information, the network node detects traffic having a destination address corresponding to the endpoint. The network node transmits an indication that traffic was received by the network node having the destination address corresponding to the endpoint. Finally, onboarding of the endpoint into the network fabric is triggered at the fabric edge device.

Abstract: Techniques for leveraging a software defined tracking architecture for endpoint probing are described. An orchestrator of a network fabric receives probing rules associated with a particular endpoint type. The orchestrator receives a notification that an event occurred with respect to an and point connected to the fabric edge device, the notification indicates that the endpoint is of the particular endpoint type. Based at least in part on the endpoint being of the particular endpoint type, the orchestrator transmits instructions, based at least in part on the probing rules, regarding how to probe the endpoint, to the fabric edge device.

Abstract: A method is provided to determine administrator users associated with network devices in a network. The method includes sending to one or more network devices in a network or to an entity that manages or controls access to the one or more network devices, a query to identify one or more administrator users for each of the one or more network devices. The method involves obtaining a response to the query, the response including an identifier of each the one or more administrator users for a respective network device of the one or more network devices. The method may then involve using the identifier of each of the one or more administrator users for each of the one or more network devices to send a notification to the one or more administrator users.

Abstract: Systems and methods of creating and managing a multi-edge EtherChannel (MEEC) include, with a control node communicatively coupled to a plurality of edge nodes within a network, receiving including data defining a bundle of a plurality of links communicatively coupling the plurality of edge nodes and a first server and data identifying the first server. A map-notify message is sent to an edge node defining a link state for at least the first edge node. A map-proxy register message defining a plurality of link states for the plurality of the edge nodes within the bundle is sent to at least a second edge node to synchronize the first edge node with respect to at least the second edge node of the plurality of edge nodes. A map-reply message indicating load balancing data of a plurality of the edge nodes may be sent to an ingress edge node and data packets may be load balanced based on the load balancing data.
