Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for network discovery, port identification, and/or identifying fiber link failures in an optical network, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. The present invention may be configured to sequentially connect each port of an optical switch to a network port of a server and generate, based on information associated with network devices connected to the ports, a network map. The network map may identify which network devices are connected to which ports of the optical switch and may permit dynamic port mapping for network installation, upgrades, repairs, and/or the like. The present invention may also be configured to determine a fiber link in which a failure occurred and reconfigure the optical switch to allow communication between an optical time-domain reflectometer and the fiber link to test the fiber link.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing resilience in network communications are provided that leverage novel switch device architectures. An example switch device for providing resilience in network communications includes a signal routing mechanism configured to selectively provide communication between at least one first network port and two of a plurality of second network ports. The signal routing mechanism receives an indication of a malfunction associated with one of the two of the plurality of second network ports and communicably connects the at least one first network port with the other of the two of the plurality of second network port. The first network ports may be positioned in a first array and each of the plurality of second network ports may be positioned in a second array.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for scalable networking systems. An example system includes a plurality of core switches and a first stage patch panel associated with operation of a first set of network ports. In an operational configuration in which the first stage patch panel is coupled with the plurality of core switches, the first stage patch panel is configured to operatively couple the first set of network ports and a first portion of the plurality of core switches such that signals may pass therebetween. Furthermore, the first stage patch panel may preclude communication to a remaining portion of the plurality of core switches. The system may include a second stage patch panel associated with a second set of network ports that is operatively coupled with the plurality of core switches in the absence of the first stage patch panel so as to scale the networking system.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for resilience in network communications. An example system includes at least one first network port including a first plurality of subports and at least one second network port including a second plurality of subports. The system also includes an intermediate switch communicably connected to the at least one first network port and the at least one second network port. At least one of the first plurality of subports includes at least one first offline subport that is inoperable in an instance in which each of the remaining first plurality of subports are operable. The intermediate switch is configured to route communication from one of the second plurality of subports to the at least one first offline subport in an instance in which the intermediate switch receives an indication of a malfunction associated with the first plurality of subports.

Abstract: Systems and methods for resilience in network communications are provided. An example system includes a first network port pair including a first input network port and a first output network port. The system further includes an intermediate switch configured to communicably connect the first input network port and the first output network port and a first redundant network port communicably connected with the intermediate switch. The intermediate switch establishes communication between the first input network port and the first redundant network port in an instance in which the intermediate switch receives an indication of a malfunction associated with the first output network port or establishes communication between the first output network port and the first redundant network port in an instance in which the intermediate switch receives an indication of a malfunction associated with the first input network port.
