Abstract
An automated networking device replacement system includes a chassis housing in which management module and a fabric services subsystem are provided. The fabric services subsystem identifies that a first networking device has been provided in the chassis, and determines that the first networking device is a replacement for a second networking device. In response, the fabric services subsystem automatically identifies at least one fabric-services-based configuration that was performed on the second networking device, and automatically performs the at least one fabric-services-based configuration on the first networking device. The fabric services subsystem then transmits a management-module-based configuration instruction to the management module that causes the management module to automatically perform at least one management-module-based configuration on the first networking device that was performed on the second networking device.
