Abstract
In one example, provide a plurality of initial switch configuration templates associated with network switches, establishing a link with a network switch comprising a connection with a principal port of the network switch, select from the plurality of initial switch configuration templates an initial switch configuration template associated with the network switch device, and transmit to the network switch device, through the principal port, an in-band command with the selected initial switch configuration template.
Claims15
A network storage device comprising:
- a memory module to store a plurality of initial switch device configuration templates associated with network switch devices;
- and
- a communication module to:
- establish a link with a network switch device comprising a connection with a principal port of the network switch device,
- select, from the plurality of initial switch configuration templates, an initial switch configuration template associated with the network switch device;
- and
- transmit to the network switch device, through the principal port, an in-band command with the selected initial switch configuration template.
A method comprising:
- in response to a detection of a change of a network switch device over a network, establishing a link with the network switch device comprising a connection with a principal port of the network switch device;
- selecting, from a plurality of initial switch configuration templates, an initial switch configuration template associated with the network switch device;
- and
- transmitting to the network switch device, through the principal port, an in-band command with the selected initial switch configuration template.
A non-transitory processor readable medium having processor executable instructions stored thereon, instructions are executable by a processor to:
- establish a link with a network switch device comprising a connection with a principal port of the network switch device;
- select, from a plurality of initial switch configuration templates, an initial switch configuration template mapped to a network switch device;
- and
- transmit to the network switch device, through the principal port, an in-band command with the selected initial switch configuration template to allow communication between the network switch device and a network host device over a network.
