Configuring paths in a network device using user interface
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003388B1) outlines a method for configuring paths in a network device. The method involves maintaining a set of subdomains, each containing packet processing hardware and interfaces, configuring a path with a set of interfaces across these subdomains, establishing a user-visible interface for the path corresponding to a physical port, and configuring interfaces based on user-specified features. The patent also covers determining and associating statuses with interfaces, responding to status requests, and implementing status determination strategies.
Furthermore, the patent extends to a network device with subdomains housing packet processing hardware and interfaces, a computer-readable medium with instructions for configuring paths and interfaces, and a software agent within each subdomain to handle feature configurations. The network device allows for individual configuration of interfaces based on user-defined features, ensuring efficient and customized network path setups. The patent emphasizes the unique integration of different integrated circuits within subdomains, enabling diverse configurations and efficient processing. Additionally, the computer-readable medium includes instructions for determining and responding to interface statuses, enhancing network monitoring capabilities and overall performance.
