Abstract
A centralized storage-connected switch port auto-configuration system includes an SDN controller device that receives, from an SDN switch device subsequent to a storage device being connected to a switch port on the SDN switch device, discovery information and uses it to identify the switch port. The SDN controller device then provides SDN communications to the SDN switch device that include a port packet data unit size configuration, a port traffic suppression configuration, and a port loop prevention configuration. The SDN switch device applies the port packet data unit size configuration to configure a packet data unit size transmittable via the switch port, the port traffic suppression configuration to configure the amount of bandwidth of the switch port that will be available to transmit at least one type of data traffic, and the port loop prevention configuration to configure loop prevention designations that will be available for the switch port.
