Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to link state change detection and notification within a server with embedded or directly integrated network switch. In a server configuration in which there is no longer a distinct separation between a network switch and a network interface card (NIC), the server can no longer immediately detect a change in the link state of any of the switch's ports. This can lead to connection failure. A Link State Policy Table is thus implemented within the embedded or integrated switch, capable of changing the NIC link state according to one or more pre-defined or user-defined policy settings. The server is then notified of the change in the NIC link state, and can release an old IP address or request a new IP address accordingly.

Abstract translation: 实施例通常涉及具有嵌入式或直接集成网络交换机的服务器内的链路状态变化检测和通知。 在网络交换机和网络接口卡（NIC）之间不再存在明显分离的服务器配置中，服务器不能立即检测任何交换机端口的链路状态的变化。 这可能导致连接失败。 因此，在嵌入式或集成交换机内实现链路状态策略表，能够根据一个或多个预定义或用户定义的策略设置来改变NIC链路状态。 然后，服务器通知NIC链路状态的变化，并且可以相应地释放旧的IP地址或请求新的IP地址。
