Abstract
A first network device in a high-availability cluster may configure a first wireless channel for a wireless control link. The first network device may establish, using the first wireless channel, the wireless control link with a second network device in the high-availability cluster. The first network device may configure a second wireless channel for a wireless fabric link. The first network device may establish, using the second wireless channel, the wireless fabric link with the second network device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- configuring, by a first network device in a high-availability cluster, a first wireless channel for a wireless control link;
- establishing, by the first network device and using the first wireless channel, the wireless control link with a second network device in the high-availability cluster;
- configuring, by the first network device, a second wireless channel for a wireless fabric link;
- and
- establishing, by the first network device and using the second wireless channel, the wireless fabric link with the second network device.
2 more elements
A first network device, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, to:
- configure a first wireless channel for a wireless control link,
- wherein the first network device is included in a high-availability cluster;
- establish, using the first wireless channel, the wireless control link with a second network device in the high-availability cluster;
- synchronize, via the wireless control link, a routing engine of the first network device and a routing engine of the second network device;
- configure a second wireless channel for a wireless fabric link,
- wherein the first wireless channel and the second wireless channel are different wireless channels;
- and
- establish, using the second wireless channel, the wireless fabric link with the second network device.
8 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a first network device in a high-availability cluster, comprising:
- a first wireless physical interface module (PIM);
- and
- a second network device in the high-availability cluster, comprising:
- a second wireless PIM,
- wherein a first control interface of the first PIM and a second control interface of the second PIM are communicatively connected via a wireless control link, and
