Abstract:
A method and system for enforcing network topology. The method includes receiving, at a first port on a first switch, a second role associated with a second switch, where the second switch is connected to the first switch using the first port, and where the first switch is associated with a first role. The method further includes making a first determination, using the first role, the second role, and a network topology policy, that the first switch should not be connected to the second switch. Sending, in response to the first determination, a first alert to an alert recipient, where the first alert specifies that the first switch is improperly connected to the second switch.

Claim (Index 21):
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor perform a method, the method comprising:\n receiving, at a first port on a first switch, a second role associated with a second switch, wherein the second switch is connected to the first switch using the first port, wherein the first switch is associated with a first role; making a first determination, using the first role, the second role, and a network topology policy, that a number of actual connections between the first switch and the second switch exceeds a number of proposed connections between the first switch and the second switch, wherein the network topology policy specifies the number of proposed connections between the first switch and the second switch; and sending, in response to the first determination, an alert to an alert recipient, wherein the alert specifies that the first switch is improperly connected to the second switch.
