DYNAMIC HARDWARE ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT TO NETWORK DEVICES IN A SWITCH MESH |
摘要 |
Dynamic hardware address assignment to network devices in a switch mesh is described. In an example, a network device in a switch mesh dynamically assigns a hardware address to a network interface. The network device receives an address request from a client through the switch mesh. The network device calculates an index value for the client based on data in the address request. The network device selects the hardware address of a plurality of hardware addresses assigned to the network interface based on the index value. The switch mesh includes a plurality of traffic paths respectively for the plurality of hardware addresses. The network device sends the hardware address in a reply to the client through the switch mesh.
