Abstract:
One or more nodes on a network can perform network discovery operations to obtain information regarding network configuration parameters for the nodes on the network. The network configuration data can be compared and used to determine if there are mismatches between the various node's configurations. A mismatch can indicate that a node is misconfigured, which can result in significant degradation in performance of the node or of the network system as a whole. The network configuration data can be used to automatically resolve errors in configuration or to provide reports on potential errors in configuration. Additionally, the network configuration data that is discovered by a node can be used to establish an initial configuration for the node.

Claim (Index 8):
One or more non-transitory machine-readable media comprising program code for discovering a network configuration, the program code comprising executable instructions to:\n determine one or more ports of a node; for at least one port of the one or more ports, transmit request packets to a plurality of nodes of a network communicably coupled to the at least one port; based on receipt of response packets from the plurality of nodes, determine network configuration parameters of the plurality of nodes based at least in part on the response packets; compare the network configuration parameters of the plurality of nodes with at least one network configuration parameter of a first node of the plurality of nodes; determine, based at least in part on the comparison, that a mismatch exists in a network configuration of the first node and one or more second nodes of the plurality of nodes; and issue a command to the first node to cause the first node to update the network configuration of the first node in response to determining that the mismatch exists.
