摘要： A network device, communication system, and method are provided. In one example, a network device is described that includes a plurality of switching elements, each switching element in the plurality of switching elements corresponding to a different plane from a plurality of planes in a planarized network. The network device also includes a ring mechanism generated based on a set of rules that permits inter-plane connectivity between the plurality of switching elements.

摘要： A system for implementing a multiplane network comprises a network device including a plurality of switches for routing traffic to an endpoint through a network of other switches. Each switch in the plurality of switches corresponds to a different plane of the multiplane network. The system includes one or more circuits that manages the plurality of switches as a single logical entity.

摘要： A method used in a stacking/stackable switch unit includes: providing a plurality of signal ports of the stacking/stackable switch unit, the signal ports having at least one master/slave control port corresponding to at least one operation function of the stacking/stackable switch unit; during a boot-up procedure, automatically determining whether the stacking/stackable switch unit is a master or a slave according to at least one signal level of the at least one master/slave control port and/or content of at least one bit obtained from the at least one master/slave control port.
