Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure include implementing fabric availability and synchronization (FAS) agents within a fabric network. In one example, a first FAS agent executing on a first network device may receive, from a second network device, a command to modify a configuration of a second network device. The first FAS may upgrade the configuration of the first network device based on the command from a current configuration to a new configuration. The first FAS agent increment a state identifier associated with the configuration of the first network device to a new state identifier associated with the new configuration. The first FAS agent may then transmit a control packet that includes the new state identifier. A second FAS agent executing on the second network device may receive the control packet and execute the command to update the configuration of the second network device to the new configuration.
