Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a computing system. The computing system includes a processor, a memory, a discovery mechanism, a switch management mechanism, and a configuration management mechanism. The discovery mechanism discovers a remote switch. The switch management mechanism registers the remote switch and transmits a switch image to the remote switch, thereby allowing the remote switch to install the image. The configuration management mechanism configures the remote switch, thereby allowing the remote switch to be controlled by the computing system.
