Abstract: Techniques for combining the functionality of fabric interconnects and switches (e.g., Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches) into one network entity, thereby reducing the number of devices in a fabric and complexity of communications in the fabric. By collapsing FI and ToR switch functionality into one network entity, server traffic may be directly forwarded by the ToR switch and an entire tier is now eliminated from the topology hierarchy which may improve the control, data, and management plane. Further, this disclosure describes techniques for dynamically managing the number of gateway proxies running on one or more computer clusters based on a number of managed switch domains.

Abstract: Techniques for automating the provisioning, configuring, and onboarding of network devices into a cloud management platform. The cloud management platform can be used to manage network devices that are provisioned in on-premise environments, cloud environments, and/or hybrid environments. However, it can be a cumbersome and error-prone process for a user to manually configure each of the network devices with connectivity settings needed to be managed by the cloud management platform. The techniques described herein provide an automated process to distribute connectivity information to the network devices to allow them to be managed by the cloud management platform. Once connected to the cloud management platform, the techniques described herein further include automating the process for attaching the network devices with the appropriate user account registered with the cloud management platform.
