Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "System and method for floating port configuration." This invention provides a system that automatically configures the interfaces of an intermediate network device. The discovery process operating at the device detects the identity or type of network entities coupled to the device's interfaces. Utilizing this information, a look-up is performed to obtain a configuration macro specifically defined for each detected network entity. The retrieved configuration macros are executed and applied at the respective interfaces. The device continues to monitor the identity and type of entities coupled to its interfaces, allowing for dynamic adjustments as changes occur.
Another notable patent is "Method and apparatus for registering auto-configured network addresses based on connection authentication." This invention involves a method for registering auto-configured network addresses by receiving authentication information from a server connected to a host. The networking device generates a message based on the received data and sends it to a second server, which registers the host by associating the logical network address with the authentication information.
