PROVIDING OUT-OF-BAND MANAGEMENT TRAFFIC AND DATA TRAFFIC OVER A BACKUP PATH VIA A DUAL USE DEVICE

摘要

A device may receive incoming network traffic associated with a network device. The device may determine whether the incoming network traffic is management traffic or data traffic. The management traffic may be traffic for performing out-of-band management of the network device, and the data traffic may be traffic other than traffic for performing out-of-band management of the network device. The device may provide, to the network device, the incoming network traffic via a first connection or a second connection based on determining whether the incoming network traffic is management traffic or data traffic. The device may provide the incoming network traffic to the network device via the first connection when the incoming network traffic is management traffic, and may provide the incoming network traffic to the network device via the second connection when the incoming network traffic is data traffic.

1. A device, comprising:
one or more processors to:
receive incoming network traffic associated with a backup path to a network device,
the backup path traversing a cellular network;determine whether the incoming network traffic is management traffic or data traffic,
the management traffic including traffic for performing out-of-band management of the network device,the data traffic including traffic other than traffic for performing out-of-band management of the network device; andprovide, to the network device, the incoming network traffic via a management connection or a data connection based on determining whether the incoming network traffic is management traffic or data traffic,
the incoming network traffic being provided to the network device via the management connection when the incoming network traffic is management traffic,the incoming network traffic being provided to the network device via the data connection when the incoming network traffic is data traffic,the management connection being different from the data connection.
