Reconciling addresses

摘要

A device may include a memory, line cards, and a processor. The memory may include an address database for storing sub-location addresses. The line cards may be configured to communicate with other devices. The processor may be configured to receive a request to reconcile physical addresses from a network device, retrieve sub-location addresses from the database based on the request, determine whether each of the sub-location addresses can be deleted from the database based on association between the sub-location address and a physical device, and, for each of the sub-location addresses, delete the sub-location address from the database based on the determination.
