Abstract
A method may include receiving a reconfiguration to a first Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)/spanning tree table, where the first VLAN/spanning tree table has a first identifier and is associated with a region of a network; updating the first VLAN/spanning tree table to generate a second VLAN/spanning tree table based on the reconfiguration; determining a second identifier of the second VLAN/spanning tree table; and generating a list of identifiers associated with the region of the network, the list including the first identifier and the second identifier.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a device, whether to create a first region based on a first digest;
- updating, by the device, a field, of a data structure, associated with a second region to equal the first digest when the first region is to be created,
- the first digest being associated with the second region when the first region is not to be created, and
- a second digest being associated with the second region when the first digest is associated with the second region;
- generating, by the device, a data unit based on the first digest;
- and
- providing, by the device, the data unit to another device to provide the other device with information regarding a new configuration of the device.
A system comprising:
- a device to:
- determine whether to create a first region based on a first digest;
- update a field, of a table, associated with a second region to equal the first digest when the first region is to be created;
- generate a data unit based on the first digest;
- and
- provide the data unit to another device to provide the other device with information regarding a new configuration of the device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a device, cause the at least one processor to:
- determine whether to create a first region based on a first digest;
- update a field, of a data structure, associated with a second region to equal the first digest when the first region is to be created;
- generate a data unit based on the first digest;
- and
- provide the data unit to another device to provide the other device with information regarding a new configuration of the device.
