    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to configure switches of a virtual rack are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a hardware switch implementing a virtual switch on a virtual communication network, a packet analyzer to analyze a packet captured at the hardware switch, the packet analyzer to determine whether the packet is indicative of a packet flow issue corresponding to a negative effect on transfer of one or more packet flows on the virtual communication network, an issue handler to, in response to the determination by the packet analyzer, determine a modification to a configuration of the hardware switch based on a configuration of the virtual configuration network, and a hardware configuration agent to modify the configuration of the hardware switch based on the modification determined by the issue handler.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to cross configure network resources of software defined data centers are disclosed. An example method includes detecting a first configuration change for a first component of a first one of a virtual network or a physical network, the virtual network to provide networking for a virtual computing system, and the physical network to implement the virtual network, identifying, by executing an instruction with a processor, a second component of a second different one of the virtual network or the physical network corresponding to the first component, and making a second configuration change to the second component corresponding to the first configuration change.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a packet analyzer to determine that a first virtualized server is preparing to migrate to a second virtualized server based on a data packet, a packet flow path generator to identify a set of network switches between the first virtualized server and the second virtualized server when the first virtualized server is in a different rackmount server than the second virtualized server, and a policy adjustor to adjust a policy of one or more network switches in the set to prioritize a packet flow corresponding to the migration.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to cross configure network resources of software defined data centers are disclosed. Example instructions cause one or more processors to monitor a component of a network for a probe packet sent to the component. The example instructions cause the one or more processors to, in response to detecting the probe packet, determine whether the probe packet includes a unique source media access control (MAC) address that is included in a probe access control list (ACL), the unique source MAC address included in the probe ACL set by a decision engine. The example instructions cause the one or more processors to, in response to determining that the probe packet does not include the unique source MAC address, record probe packet receipt information indicating that the probe packet did not pass through a network port of the component and transmit the probe packet receipt information to the decision engine.
