    Abstract: A system for facilitating efficient port reconfiguration at a switch is provided. During operation, the system can identify a target port of the switch for reconfiguration based on one or more reconfiguration parameters indicating how a set of logical ports are generated from the target port. The system can disable the target port at the control plane of the switch, which disables features provided to the target port from the control plane. The control plane can provide a set of features supported by the switch at a port-level granularity for facilitating operations of the switch. The system can then configure the forwarding hardware based on the reconfiguration parameters to accommodate the set of logical ports. When the reconfiguration of the target port is complete, the system can enable a respective logical port at the control plane, which enables one or more features for the logical port from the control plane.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for in-service software upgrades using centralize database versioning and migrations. The systems and methods described herein can intercept protocol messages between a client and a network device and run a first control plane comprising an origin state database and a plurality of un-migrated services. The system can generate a target state data model, wherein an origin state data model associated with the origin state database migrates to the target state data model, and copy the origin state database. The system can migrate second control plane software to the target state database and operate un-migrated services in accordance with the first control plane software and the copied origin state database while operating migrated services in accordance with the second control plane software and the target state database.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a method comprising determining, by a control state machine running on a control module, a state for a plurality of modules communicatively coupled to the control module, wherein each module has a corresponding state machine that publishes state information into a centralized database. The method may include publishing, by the control state machine, the target state for each module in the plurality of modules, into the centralized database, wherein each target state is associated with a set of actions to enable the module to achieve the target state. The method may also include determining, by the control state machine, that each module in the plurality of modules has published its new state to the database and initializing, by the control state machine, a process related to at least one module in the plurality of modules.
