Abstract
Disclosed aspects relate to hardware connection management using a media access control (MAC) control frame. A MAC control frame may be generated by a hardware connection management engine. The MAC control frame may be routed from a first hardware port by the hardware connection management engine. The hardware connection management engine may determine whether a hardware switch exists between the first and second hardware ports based on whether a second hardware port receives the MAC control frame.
