Such an information handling system includes a plurality of processing modules provided by a computer processor where the plurality of processing modules including a selective packet filter and a control plane unit and memory in communication with the plurality of processing modules. The memory stores a VLAN port bitmap and a snooping table. The information handling system also has a plurality of ports, which includes at least one Ethernet port for connecting the information handling device to a LAN and a plurality of bridging ports for connecting the information handling device to a plurality of routing bridges. | 2014-05-29 |
20140146823 | MANAGEMENT OF ROUTING TABLES SHARED BY LOGICAL SWITCH PARTITIONS IN A DISTRIBUTED NETWORK SWITCH - Techniques are provided for managing a routing table in a distributed network switch. The distributed network switch is divided into logical switch partitions, or logical networks, that may share a routing table. The shared routing table is configured with counters and thresholds to control utilization of the routing table on a per-logical network basis. When counters exceed certain threshold, the routing table is modified to reduce routing entries within the routing table or pause insertion of new routing entries. | 2014-05-29 |

20140146825 | IMPLEMENTING MULTIPLE PORTALS INTO AN RBRIDGE NETWORK - Shortest-path spanning trees are created outward from each portal on a Rbridge network with nodes on the network being assigned to the spanning trees. For those nodes equidistant to two portals, an election process is used to determine which tree the node should join. To enable routes associated with nodes on the Rbridge network to be distinguished from routes external to the Rbridge network, messages may be transmitted between the portals. The messages enable portals to identify routing updates received from the external network as containing internal routes, so that traffic that is required to pass between nodes on different trees may pass over the Rbridge network rather than over the external network. | 2014-05-29 |
