Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that cause one or more processors to at least:
based on detection of a probe packet at a port associated with a component of a network, determine whether the probe packet includes a source media access control (MAC) address, the source MAC address included in a probe access control list (ACL), the probe ACL set by a decision engine based on an occurrence of a change to a first configuration of the network;
based on the probe packet not including the source MAC address, record probe packet receipt information, the probe packet receipt information to indicate that the component is to be configured to accommodate the change to the first configuration of the network; and
cause transmission of the probe packet receipt information to the decision engine to facilitate a second configuration of the component.
