Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a system including a BC network associated with a plurality of entities in a defined geographic scope. A first entity of the plurality of entities includes a connected vehicle that generates vehicular data. The BC network is governed by a smart contract. The smart contract includes a data sharing policy defined by a user of the connected vehicle, wherein the data sharing policy allows the user of the connected vehicle to selectively share the vehicular data with one or more other entities of the plurality of entities.

Abstract: A network device may send, to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, a request for an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address to be assigned to a management port of the network device, wherein IPv6 is disabled at the network device, and may receive a message that includes information associated with a network management system (NMS) and IPv6 configuration information for enabling IPv6 processing on the management port. In response to receiving the IPv6 configuration information, the network device may enable IPv6 processing on the management port of the network device and may register with the NMS based at least in part on the information associated with the NMS. The network device may, in response to receiving one or more configuration commands sent from the NMS to the management port of the network device, configure the network device according to the one or more configuration commands.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing supplemental information or data to location-based data provided by conventional asset tags. In particular, sensors such as environmentally-aware sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, and the like may be incorporated into asset tag devices. In turn, these enhanced asset tags may be integrated into network devices, such as access points, network switches, etc. Accordingly, network devices can be leveraged to provide location-based information, in addition to other information, such as environmental operating conditions relative to the location of such network devices. Moreover, secure communication links can be created between the enhanced asset tags, network devices, and controlling entities in the network, such as network management servers through a mutual authentication mechanism.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed in which Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) servers form a blockchain network. Each SNMP server stores and maintains a local copy of a consensus ledger for which a consensus agreement has been obtained among the SNMP servers. The consensus agreement may be based on a validation of one or more fingerprints for one or more blocks of information in the ledger. The fingerprint for each block may be based on information in a preceding block. The consensus ledger includes transaction information for SNMP operations performed between the SNMP servers and managed devices. The common consensus ledger helps ensure that bandwidth, CPU time, and energy for the managed devices and the SNMP servers is not wasted on duplicate SNMP operations.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed in which access devices such as routers and switches form a blockchain network. Each router and switch stores and maintains a local copy of a network topology ledger for which a consensus agreement has been obtained among the routers and switches. The consensus agreement may be based on a validation of one or more fingerprints for one or more blocks of information in the ledger. The fingerprint for each block may be based on information in a preceding block. The network topology ledger includes device identification, routing, and/or other information for device authentication and packet routing by the routers and switches.

Abstract: Examples described relate to disabling of MAC address aging time for an IoT device on a network switch. In an example, in response to a device joining a network, a network switch in the network may determine a media access control (MAC) address of the device. The network switch may then send the MAC address to an authentication server. In response, the network switch may receive a Vendor Specific Attribute (VSA) associated with the MAC address from the authentication server. The VSA indicates that the MAC address relates to an IoT device. Based on the VSA, the network switch may recognize the MAC address of the device as a MAC address of the IoT device. In response to recognizing, the network switch may disable MAC address aging time for the MAC address of the IoT device on the network switch.
