    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for locating and disabling the switch port of a rogue wireless access point. In one embodiment, a network management device is configured to detect the presence of a rogue access point on a managed wireless network. Once detected, the management device may then instruct a special client, such as a scanning AP, to associate with the rogue access point and send a discovery packet through the rogue access point to network management device. The network management device upon receiving the discovery packet may thereby determine that the rogue access point is connected to a network managed by said network device. The network device may then utilize information contained in the discovery packet to locate the switch port to which the rogue access point is connected, and ultimately disable the switch port to which the rogue access point is connected.

    摘要: Embodiments of an N-Port ID virtualization (NPIV) proxy module, NPIV proxy switching system, and methods are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, login requests are distributed over a plurality of available N-ports to allow servers to be functionally coupled to F-ports of a plurality of fiber-channel (FC) switches. Fiber-channel identifiers (FCIDs) are assigned to the servers in response to the logon requests to provide single end-host operations for each of the servers.

    摘要: Various systems and methods for implementing virtual ports within ring networks are disclosed. For example, one method involves allocating a logical port that corresponds to a first port and a second port and instantiating a spanning tree protocol instance. The first port and the second port are both assigned to a first ring network. The spanning tree protocol instance selectively blocks the logical port; however, the spanning tree protocol instance is unable to block the first port independently of blocking the second port. Events (e.g., link failures and recoveries) that occur within the ring network are communicated to spanning tree by transitioning the state of the logical port in response to receiving a ring protocol control packet. The spanning tree protocol instance initiates a bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) exchange from the logical port in response to a transition in the state of the logical port.

    摘要: Various systems and methods for integrating ring-protocol-compatible devices into network configurations that also include non-ring-protocol-compatible devices are disclosed. One such method, which can be performed by a network node that supports a ring protocol, involves generating a ring protocol packet and sending that ring protocol packet to a neighboring node. The ring protocol packet includes information, and the presence of this information within the packet causes a network device that receives the ring protocol packet to drop the ring protocol packet unless the network device supports a ring protocol. The information can include a reserved address (e.g., in the destination address field of the packet) as well as a ring protocol identifier.
