    摘要: Dynamic hardware address assignment to network devices in a switch mesh is described. In an example, a network device in a switch mesh dynamically assigns a hardware address to a network interface. The network device receives an address request from a client through the switch mesh. The network device calculates an index value for the client based on data in the address request. The network device selects the hardware address of a plurality of hardware addresses assigned to the network interface based on the index value. The switch mesh includes a plurality of traffic paths respectively for the plurality of hardware addresses. The network device sends the hardware address in a reply to the client through the switch mesh.

    摘要: An example method includes creating a plurality of redundant, non-looping paths to a plurality of switches, and providing information to the plurality of switches about the plurality of redundant, non-looping paths. The method further comprises assigning each of a plurality of clients to one of the plurality of redundant, non-looping paths, and providing information to the plurality of switches about which of the plurality of redundant, non-looping paths each client of the plurality of clients is assigned to. Then, in response to receiving a packet from a client of the plurality of clients, the method comprises transmitting the packet on one of the plurality of redundant, non-looping paths to one of the plurality of switches based at least in part on which of the plurality of redundant, non-looping paths the client is assigned to.

    摘要: A method includes reading content of network traffic that arrives at a network port of a network switch of a mesh of network switches. A hash algorithm is applied to the read content to indicate a path to a destination network switch of the mesh, the hash algorithm being common to all network switches of the mesh. The network traffic is forwarded via a network port that is associated with the indicated path.

    摘要: Embodiments herein relate to transmitting specific traffic along a blocked link. A status of links between switches of a network is monitored. The status of the links is one of blocked and non-blocked. A blocked link is not used by a Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). At least one of the network switches is configured to transmit the specific traffic along the blocked link.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for a network switch that periodically determines whether there are connectivity problems with first ports and a second port independently of responding to requests from computer systems. Information to be sent to the computer system that sends a request is generated. The information includes an error message regarding at least one of the connectivity problems when one of the first ports or the second port with the connectivity problem is required to respond to the request.
