Abstract:
An apparatus includes a memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to partition a set of ports of an optical multiplexer into a set of port groups including a first port group having a first set of ports and a second port group having a second set of ports mutually exclusive from the first set of ports. The processor is configured to associate the first port group with a first router and associate the second port group with a second router. When the optical multiplexer is operatively coupled to the first router and the second router, the first router is operatively coupled to the optical multiplexer via the first set of ports and not the second set of ports, and the second router is operatively coupled to the optical multiplexer via the second set of ports and not the first set of ports.

Claim (Index 8):
A method, comprising:\n assigning a first set of ports from a plurality of ports associated with an optical multiplexer to a first router identifier, the first router identifier representing a first router; assigning a second set of ports from the plurality of ports associated with the optical multiplexer to a second router identifier, the second router identifier representing a second route; sending, to the first router, identifiers associated with each port from the first set of ports causing the first router to be operatively coupled to the optical multiplexer via the first set of ports and not the second set of ports when the optical multiplexer is operatively coupled to the first router; and sending, to the second router, identifiers associated with each port from the second set of ports causing the second router to be operatively coupled to the optical multiplexer via the second set of ports and not the first set of ports when the optical multiplexer is operatively coupled to the second router.
