Abstract
A system and method for non-disruptive reconfiguration of cluster networks. The system includes a node having an upper topology including a virtual ethernet device, a lower topology including first and second virtual network devices, and a control plane coupled between the upper and lower topology. Communication between the first virtual network device and the virtual ethernet device is directed through the control plane via a first receive path and a first transmit path. A second receive path from the second virtual network device to the virtual ethernet device is established, such that the virtual ethernet device receives communication from the first and second virtual network devices and the first transmit path is disabled. A second transmit path from the virtual ethernet device to the second virtual network device is established and the first receive path is disabled.
