    摘要: Examples disclosed herein relate to a method comprising detecting, by a first network device, an interruption in a network stack of network devices connected to each other through a plurality of dedicated links. The method may also include identifying, by the first network device, a network device in the network stack with a highest split priority, determining, by the first network device, that the network device with the highest split priority belongs to a first fragment of the network stack and marking, by the first network device, the first fragment as an active fragment of the network stack.

    摘要: A member switch of multiple connected switches receives a stack-discovery packet from a first coupled switch and, in response, generates and transmits a stack-discovery-response packet to the first coupled switch to allow the member switch to be discovered. The member switch receives stack-configuration information from a stack-control node and forwards the stack-discovery packet to a second coupled switch to facilitate discovery of the second coupled switch. The first coupled switch, the member switch, and the second coupled switch are coupled to each other according to a predetermined order, thereby facilitating an ordered discovery of the multiple connected switches. In response to receiving, from the stack-control node, a control packet, the member switch reboots based on the received stack-configuration information. The stack-configuration information comprises a stack-member identifier allocated, based on the predetermined order, by the stack-control mode to the member switch, thereby facilitating formation of an ordered stack.

    摘要: A non-transitory machine readable medium may store instructions executable by a processing resource to cause a device to detect a failure of a switch among a plurality of switches associated with a virtual switching framework (VSF), disable multicast traffic through the VSF responsive to detection of the failure of the switch, and alter a topology associated with the VSF. The instructions may be further executable by the processing resource to receive a notification indicating that the topology associated with the VSF has been altered and re-enable multicast traffic through the VSF responsive to the notification that the topology associated with the VSF has been altered.

    摘要: Examples relate to establishing a network fault detection session. In one example, a routing device may receive a request to initiate a bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) session with a second routing device; transmit a first echo frame to the second routing device; receive a first response frame; determine that a response time does not meet a response time threshold; in response to the determination, determine that a BFD failure threshold has not been met; after the determination that the BFD failure threshold has not been met, transmit a second echo frame to the second routing device; receive a second response frame; determine whether a second response time meets the BFD response time threshold; and in response to determining that the second response time meets the BFD response time threshold, provide a notification that a BFD session has been established between the routing device and the second routing device.
