Abstract
A method for configuring and/or correcting misconfigurations within a clustered network includes determining, at each node of multiple nodes in the clustered network, configuration data that identifies a connection type between the node and at least one device connected to the node, where the connection type is either a switched or switchless connection. The method further provides for publishing the configuration data determined at each of the multiple nodes to a location mutually accessible by other nodes in the clustered network generating a map of physical network topology of the clustered network based on the published configuration data; using the map of the physical network topology to determine a correct logical layer configuration for the network; and configuring one or more aspects of the network to match the determined correct logical layer configuration.
