Abstract
The verification of fault-tolerant connections between redundant controller pairs and nodes is provided. In particular, a node identifier seen at one port of the controllers is compared to the node identifier seen at another port of the controllers. In response to determining that proper connections have not been made, an error or warning signal may be generated. In addition, where supported by dynamic port configuration, the ports of the controllers may be reconfigured in response to the comparison to effect proper connections. In response to determining that proper connections have been made, a signal verifying that proper connections have been made may be generated.
