Abstract:
A method and system for determining an active management uplink including adjusting a bridge priority value, based on connectivity conditions, to lower the value of a bridge ID stored in a memory region of a network module. The method and system to also identify a network module as a root network module if it has a lower bridge ID than all other stacked network modules. The bridge ID of a network module may be based on the bridge priority value and a MAC address stored in a memory region of the network module. The system and method to also enable the management uplink port of the root network module to actively manage data between the management network and other stacked network modules.
Abstract:
A technique includes providing a communication path in a network switch for communication of data between a first device coupled to the switch and a second device coupled to the network switch. The technique includes using the network switch to regulate tagging of the data to control a virtual local area network identity association of the data based at least in part on a network over which the communication occurs.
