Abstract
Methods and systems for configuring a network are disclosed. An example method can comprise receiving a request from a first device to connect to a first network. An example method can also comprise determining a first logical address. The first logical address can comprise one or more bits configured to identify the first device on the first network and specify configuration information for the first device. An example method can further comprise providing the first logical address to the first device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a request from a first device to connect to a first network;
- determining a first network address, wherein the first network address comprises one or more bits configured to identify the first device on the first network and specify configuration information for provisioning, by the first device, one or more other devices on a second network, wherein the configuration information is used by the first device for assigning a second network address for one of the one or more other devices of the second network;
- and
- providing the first network address to the first device.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving a first network address configured to identify a first device on a first network and specify configuration information for provisioning, by the first device, one or more other devices on a second network;
- identifying, by the first device, one or more bits of the first network address as the configuration information for provisioning the one or more other devices on the second network;
- and
- providing a second network address to one of the one or more other devices on the second network, wherein the second network address is based on the configuration information.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a first device, a request from a second device to connect to a first network;
- determining, by the first device, a first network address, wherein the first network address comprises one or more bits configured to identify the second device on the first network and specify configuration information for provisioning, by the second device, one or more other devices on a second network;
- providing, by the first device, the first network address to the second device;
- determining, by the second device, the configuration information and a second network address based on the configuration information;
- and
- providing, by the second device, the second network address for the second network to one of the one or more other devices.
