Abstract: A Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN)-enabled remote switch management system includes a management device having a management device WWAN communication subsystem that is configured to transmit management commands from the management device through a WWAN. The WWAN-enabled remote switch management system also includes a switch device having a chassis. A switch device wired communication subsystem is located in the chassis, coupled to a Local Area Network (LAN), and is not coupled to the Internet. A switch device WWAN communication subsystem is located in the chassis and is configured to receive management commands from the management device through the WWAN. A switch management engine is located in the chassis, coupled to the switch device WWAN communication subsystem, and is configured to receive the management commands from the switch device WWAN communication subsystem, and execute the management commands to perform a management action on the switch device.

Abstract: A port configuration replication system includes a first networking device including a first port, and a second networking device including a second port. A management device communicates with the first networking device to provide a first networking device Graphical User Interface (GUI) that displays port configuration details for the first port. The management device then copies the port configuration details, and analyzes the port configuration details to identify port configuration replication information. The management device then communicates with the second networking device to display a second networking device GUI that provides for the configuration of the second port, and provides the port configuration replication information in the second networking device GUI in order to provide for the configuration of the second port.

Abstract: An electrical/optical signal conversion system includes a PoE powering device with powering device electrical data ports, and a PoE powered device (PD) with a power controller coupled to PoE-powered signal conversion subsystems that each include an electrical/optical signal converter coupled to a PD electrical data port and a PD optical data port. The PD electrical data ports receive power and electrical data signals transmitted by a powering device electrical data port, transmit the electrical data signals to their electrical/optical signal converter, and provide the power to the power controller. The corresponding PD optical data port then receives power from the power controller that was provided by the PD electrical data port, receives optical data signals from the electrical/optical signal converter that were converted from the electrical data signals transmitted by the PD electrical data port, and transmits the optical data signals to a first optical signal device.

Abstract: A networking device includes a chassis, a port located on the chassis, a port configuration display located on the chassis, and a plurality of port configuration buttons located on the chassis. A port configuration engine is included in the chassis and is coupled to each of the port, the port configuration display, and the plurality of port configuration buttons. The port configuration engine is configured to provide a current Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) assignment for the port for display on the port configuration display. When the port configuration engine determines that a first port configuration button of the plurality of port configuration buttons has been actuated at least once, the port configuration engine modifies the current VLAN assignment for the port to provide a modified VLAN assignment for the port, and provides the modified VLAN assignment for the port for display on the port configuration display.
