Abstract
One embodiment provides an interface discovery system that facilitates interface discovery and authentication. During operation, the system receives a message from an unregistered interface via a local interface of a link adapter. The message can include a name. If the system determines that a source identifier of the message is not configured for a channel, the system generates a control message comprising the source identifier and an identifier of the local interface and sends the control message via a transport stack of the system.
