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 19):
The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the program code further includes program code to cause the apparatus to:\n configure a network interface for the at least one port for a VLAN; configure a plurality of network subinterfaces on the network interface; configure each of the plurality of network subinterfaces with a different subnet masks; transmit a packet to a gateway via each of the network subinterfaces; and select, as a subnet mask for the network, a smallest subnet mask of network subinterfaces receiving a response from the gateway.
