Abstract: Techniques are provided for optimizing bandwidth in a network. Information describing a network bandwidth capacity of a port extender device is received at a switch. The port extender device is connected to the switch. The port extender device is configured to provide ports for the switch. The network bandwidth capacity of the port extender device is compared to a minimum network bandwidth guarantee threshold. If the switch determines that the network bandwidth capacity of the port extender device is below the minimum network guarantee threshold, the switch sends to the port extender device a message configured to cause the port extender to deactivate one or more links between the port extender device and one or more servers in communication with the port extender device.
