Abstract:
Systems and methods of managing a modular network element as a single entity and the modular network element includes a plurality of line modules and zero or more switch modules in a chassis. The plurality of line modules are located separate from the chassis and connected to the chassis and/or to one another via cabling. The method includes operating a management plane between the plurality of line modules and the zero or more switch modules via one or more dedicated links in the cabling; managing the plurality of line modules and the zero or more switch modules as a single network element utilizing a chassis management protocol over the management plane; and designating one of a controller in the chassis and a processor in one of the plurality of line modules operating as a virtual controller as primary for the chassis management protocol.

Claim (Index 11):
A modular network element managed as a single entity, the modular network element comprising:\n a plurality of line modules; and zero or more switch modules in a chassis, wherein the plurality of line modules are located separate from the chassis and from one another, and connected to the chassis and/or to one another via cabling, wherein a management plane is operated between the plurality of line modules and the zero or more switch modules via one or more dedicated links in the cabling, wherein the plurality of line modules and the zero or more switch modules are managed as a single network element utilizing a chassis management protocol over the management plane, and one of a controller in the chassis and a processor in one of the plurality of line modules operating as a virtual controller is designated as primary for the chassis management protocol.
