Abstract
Certain aspects of a method and system for managing network power policy and configuration of data center bridging may include a network domain that comprises a single logical point of management (LPM) that coordinates operation of one or more devices, such as network interface controllers (NICs), switches, and/or servers in the network domain: The single LPM may be operable to manage one or both of a network power policy and/or a data center bridging (DCB) configuration policy for the network domain.
Claims20
A method for networking, the method comprising:
- in a network domain comprising a single logical point of management (LPM) that coordinates operation of one or more devices in said network domain:
- managing by said single LPM, a network power policy and a data center bridging (DCB) configuration policy for said network domain.
A system for networking, the system comprising:
- one or more processors and/or circuits for use in a single logical point of management (LPM) in a network domain, wherein said LPM is operable to coordinate operation of one or more devices in said network domain, said one or more processors and/or circuits being operable to:
- manage a network power policy and a data center bridging (DCB) configuration policy for said network domain.
