Abstract:
1. A system for dynamically implementing a virtual LAN (VLAN) across multiple sites, the system comprising: a first VLAN-capable switch located at a local site; a first uniquely identified system under test (first SUT) located at the local site and connected to the first VLAN-capable switch; a second VLAN-capable switch located at a remote site; a second uniquely identified SUT (second SUT) located at the remote site and connected to the second VLAN-capable switch; a connection between the first VLAN-capable switch and the second VLAN capable switch such that the first and second SUTs are dynamically connected to or disconnected from a VLAN; and a local burn rack located at the local site for receiving the first SUT and a remote burn rack located at the remote site for receiving the second SUT such that the first and second SUTs are tested and software is configured while operating together on the VLAN.
