Configuration of networks using client device access of remote server

摘要

Implementations relate to configuration of networks using client device access of a remote server. In some implementations, a method includes requesting a management server from an end device for shortest path bridging (SPB) configuration information for the end device to communicate on an SPB network, where the end device communicates with the management server over a non-SPB connection. The SPB configuration information is received from the management server, and the SPB configuration information is sent to an edge configuration device connected to the end device, where the SPB configuration information causes configuration of the edge configuration device to allow communication of the end device on the SPB network.

1. A method comprising:
requesting a management server from an end device upon connection of the end device to a shortest path bridging (SPB) network for SPB configuration information for the end device to communicate on the SPB network, wherein the end device communicates with the management server over a non-SPB network connection, wherein the end device is a non-SPB device that is not compatible with the SPB network and includes a first fabric attach agent for processing networking configuration messages; receiving, by the end device, the SPB configuration information from the management server, wherein the SPB configuration information received from the management server includes one or more bindings mapping one or more virtual local area networks (VLANs) to one or more service identifiers (ISIDs) for the end device; and sending, by the end device, the SPB configuration information to an edge configuration device connected to the end device, wherein the edge configuration device includes a second fabric attach agent, and wherein the SPB configuration information causes configuration of the edge configuration device to allow communication of the end device on the SPB network.
