Latest Patents
Leifang Hu holds a patent for the "Creation and deletion of logical ports in a logical switch." This invention describes a Layer network switch that can be partitioned into multiple switch fabrics. The single-chassis switch is designed to be partitionable into several logical switches, each associated with one of the virtual fabrics. These logical switches operate as complete and self-contained entities. The logical switch fabric can extend across multiple single-chassis switch chassis, and logical switches are interconnected by inter-switch links, which can be either dedicated single-chassis links or logical links. An extended inter-switch link can facilitate traffic transport for one or more logical inter-switch links. The physical ports of the chassis are assigned to logical switches and managed by the logical switch. Additionally, legacy switches that are not partitionable into logical switches can function as transit switches between two logical switches.
