Systems and methods for switch stack emulation, monitoring, and control

Abstract

Systems, methods, and machine-readable storage media to facilitate adaptive switch stack interaction are disclosed. Discovery may be performed via a network with respect to switches, each switch corresponding to a switch stack and including ports communicatively coupled to endpoint devices or access points. Switch data transmitted from the plurality of switches may be processed and used to develop models of the switches. Each model may include switch specifications, and a particular model may be used to emulate a particular switch. Emulation data may be created to facilitate a graphical representation formatted to represent the particular switch. The emulation data may be transmitted to an endpoint device to facilitate an emulation interface that may correspond to a graphical layout of the particular switch that allows access, via user-selectable interface elements, to a subset of the switch data that is mapped to the particular switch.
