Abstract
A technique includes determining a network interface aggregation information for a given network device. Determining the aggregation includes determining whether the network device is capable of providing first data identifying an aggregation and selectively inferring the aggregation based at least in part on other data if a determination is made that the network device is incapable of providing the first data.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- determining a network interface aggregation information for a given network device, wherein determining the aggregation information comprises:
- determining whether the network device is capable of providing first data identifying an aggregation;
- and
- selectively inferring the aggregation based at least in part on other data if a determination is made that the network device is incapable of providing the first data.
A system comprising:
- a server comprising a plurality of server interfaces;
- at least one switch;
- and
- a network manager to determine server aggregation information for at least two server interfaces of the plurality of server interfaces, the network manager to:
- identify a server interface aggregation among at least two of the server interfaces;
- and
- determine at least one physical connection between the server and the at least one switch for the server interface aggregation.
An article comprising a non-transitory storage medium to store instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to:
- determine server interface aggregation information by:
- determining a server interface aggregation;
- and
- determining a server-to-switch physical connection for the server interface aggregation.
