An autoconfiguring data router is connected to a communications network subnet having a second network data router. The autoconfiguring data router includes a configuration determination module that determines configuration attributes for operably connecting the autoconfiguring data router to the subnet, and an autoconfiguration module that configures the autoconfiguring data router according to the configuration attributes so that the autoconfiguring data router is operably connected to the subnet.

An apparatus and method of configuring a first network device that is a part of a subnet ascertains configuration data from packets in a subnet having configuration dat. More particularly, the packets, which are transmitted by a second network device in the subnet, first are retrieved and then parsed to ascertain the configuration data. At least a portion of the configuration data is stored in a configuration database. In addition, at least one datum from the configuration data is processed to produce additional configuration data that also is stored in the configuration database. The first network device consequently operates in accord with the data in the configuration database.

An apparatus comprising a network interface coupled to a data network, a network address translator and a controller. The network interface may receive network traffic from the communicatively coupled data network adhering to any of a number of alternative network protocols. The network address translator identifies network session information within the received network traffic adhering to any of a number of alternative protocols. The controller selects network traffic to be cached based, at least in part, on the network session information identified by the network address translator.

A method for providing redundancy to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) emulated local-area network (LAN) is disclosed. The ATM emulated LAN is served by a primary LAN Emulation Server, a Broadcast and Unknown Server (LES/BUS), and a LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS). A backup LES/BUS is coupled to the ATM emulated LAN. A logical redundancy virtual channel connection (VCC) is then established between the primary LES/BUS and the backup LES/BUS. When the redundancy VCC is present between the primary LES/BUS and the backup LES/BUS, the backup LES/BUS is placed in a dormant mode. However, when the redundancy VCC is absence between the primary LES/BUS and the backup LES/BUS, the backup LES/BUS is activated to serve any request generated by the ATM emulated LAN.

Methods, devices and computer program products for identifying faults in a network include monitoring a plurality of wirelines at a central network unit for faults. The plurality of wirelines connect a respective plurality of network elements to the central network unit. If a fault is detected in one of the plurality of wirelines, the central network unit automatically initiates diagnostic measurement of characteristics of the wireline.

A communication network is operated by communicating Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) traffic and data (STATMUX) traffic over a single connection, where the single connection may include multiple aggregated lines using a traffic encapsulation standard configured to support STATMUX traffic.
摘要:
An aggregation device that connects a plurality of internal sub-networks processes a packet that is destined for one of the plurality of sub-networks. The aggregation device receives the packet and determines an internal sub-network identification value based on the combination of an external sub-network identification value that is in the packet, and a port of the aggregation device to which the one of the plurality of internal sub-networks is connected. The aggregation device may also determine an external sub-network identification value based on an internal sub-network identification value that is associated with a port of the aggregation device to which one of the plurality of internal sub-networks is connected. The external sub-network identification value is stored in the packet and the packet is transmitted on the port of the aggregation device to which the one of the plurality of internal sub-networks is connected.
摘要:
A method of remotely configuring a network device requires the generation of configuration information for the network device at a central configuration server, which is located remotely from the network device on a network. The configuration information includes a device configuration parameter. On receipt of identification information concerning the network device at the central configuration server, the central configuration server propagates the configuration information to the network device.
