AUTOMATED CONFIGURATION FOR NETWORK DEVICES

摘要

Techniques for automatically configuring a network device are provided. In one embodiment, the network device can receive a Layer 2 discovery packet on an uplink port operable for connecting the network device to another network device. The network device can then learn VLAN information from the Layer 2 discovery packet and automatically configure one or more of its ports based on the VLAN information.
