Abstract:
An example device includes a processor; a first interface port forming a first datalink to a core network device via a first interconnect device; and a second interface port forming a second datalink to the core network device via a second interconnect device, the first and second datalinks being redundant connections of a link aggregation group (LAG) including a plurality of multiplexed connections within a single network media. The processor is to: remove the first interconnect device while maintaining the second datalink; update firmware of the first interconnect device upon receiving a first indication that the first interconnect device has stopped receiving or transmitting data; and reestablish the redundant connections of the first interconnect device upon receiving a second indication that the first interconnect device has been added back to the LAG. The first and second indications include indications of states in each connection of the multiplexed connections.

Claim (Index 6):
A method, comprising:\n initiating removal of a first network interconnect device forming a first datalink with a core network device while maintaining a second datalink with a second network interconnect device, the first datalink and the second datalink forming a pair of redundant data connections of a link aggregation group (LAG), each of the redundant data connections including a plurality of multiplexed data connections within one physical network media; detecting a first change in state indicating that the first network interconnect device has stopped receiving or transmitting data to and from the LAG on the plurality of multiplexed data connections; updating firmware of the first network interconnect device; adding the first network interconnect device back to the LAG; detecting a second change in state indicating that the first network interconnect has been added back to the LAG; and reestablishing the redundant data connections of the first network interconnect device with the core network device, wherein the first change in state and the second change in state include indications of states in each data connection of the multiplexed data connections within one physical network media.
