Abstract

An asymmetric/symmetric IRB migration system includes an aggregated networking device subsystem with a first and second networking device that are both configured to operate according to an asymmetric IRB model. A migration system coupled to the aggregated networking device subsystem retrieves first and second asymmetric IRB attributes from the first and second networking devices, uses the first asymmetric IRB attributes to generate first symmetric IRB attributes for the first networking device, and uses the second asymmetric IRB attributes to generate second symmetric IRB attributes for the second networking device. The migration system then causes data destined for end host device(s) coupled to the aggregated networking device subsystem to be transmitted only to the first networking device, configures the first networking device using the first symmetric IRB attributes, and then configures the second networking device using the second symmetric IRB attributes.
