Automatic network device identification and presentation of network information via augmented reality is disclosed. Real time imagery of a scene within a field of view of a camera is received. It is determined that the imagery depicts a first object. It is determined that the first object comprises a first network-attached device attached to a network. Information that corresponds to the first network-attached device is obtained, and the information is presented in conjunction with a real time view of the scene.

Systems and techniques for read-write network visualization are described herein. A selected sub-region of a visual representation of a graph network may be displayed based on inputs received from a user. Boundaries for the selected sub-region of the visual representation of the graph network may be calculated. State data may be captured for a portion of the graph network associated with the selected sub-region using the calculated boundaries for the selected sub-region of the visual representation upon activation of an edit mode user interface control. A change to an element of the graph network may be identified. The graph network may be modified based on the change. A formula may be identified that is associated with the element of the graph network. The formula may be automatically recompiled and values for the element of the graph network, and nodes and edges that share a path with the element, may be automatically recalculated using the recompiled formula.

Disclosed is a method for test traffic generation, at test-sending switches for a network of calculation nodes, and of inspection of this test traffic, at test-receiving switches of this network, including: the generation and sending of test traffic, at least at a selected test-sending input or output port of one selected test-sending switch, sent to at least one selected test-receiving input or output port of a selected test-receiving switch, where the test traffic is generated and sent by a traffic generation component configured as an additional input of the selected test-sending input or output port, where the test traffic is inspected by a traffic inspection component configured for filtering the output of the selected test-receiving input or output port.

A method, system and computer program product for cloud-based deployment of communication services. The method includes obtaining data related to an on premise communication system, and determining a multiplicity of tasks to be executed for migrating the on premise communication system to a cloud-based communication system. Each task from the multiplicity of tasks is associated with a type, a configuration, and an owner. Information of a multiplicity of user attempts to change the configuration during or following execution of some of the multiplicity of tasks of a particular type is collected. When the multiplicity of user attempts exceeding a predetermined amount, an owner of a task associated with the configuration is notified, and when approved by the owner, further tasks of the particular type yet to be executed are modified to conform to the configuration.

Examples of the present disclosure relate to updating network devices belonging to a group of network devices. In one aspect, a network controller coupled to the network devices of the group of network access devices, responsive to a first command, initiates a group update process for the network devices of the group is to update the network devices of the group sequentially according to an ordered list. Responsive to a second command during the group update process while a firmware image of a particular network device is updated, the network controller aborts the group update process for the network devices of the group. Aborting the group update process comprises removing a first subset of network devices subsequent to the particular network device in the ordered list from the ordered list such that the firmware image of the first subset of network devices will not be updated and rolling back the firmware image of the particular network device.

An IP address distribution device includes: a display; a storage storing an IP address management table in which an IP address and an in-train installation position of a device in which the IP address needs to be used are managed in association with each other and which includes information as to whether the IP address is in use or not in use; and an IP address distribution unit referring to the IP address management table in response to receiving a request for an IP address from the requesting device, displaying, on the display, unused IP addresses in association with the in-train installation positions, accepting input information for selecting, from among the unused IP addresses, an IP address corresponding to an in-train installation position of the requesting device, and selecting, from the IP address management table, an IP address to be assigned to the requesting device based on the input information.

A converged infrastructure management system includes a first converged infrastructure system chassis housing a backplane. A plurality of managed devices are connected to the backplane and include at least one compute device, at least one network device, and at least one storage device. A management device is connected to the backplane and includes a display and an input device that are accessible on an outer surface of the management device. The management device includes a management engine that is configured to retrieve management information from any of the plurality of managed devices through the backplane and display the management information that was retrieved on the display. The management engine is also configured to receive instructions through the input device and, in response, modify the management information that is displayed and send the management information that has been modified through the backplane to the management device associated with that management information.

Methods and systems for automated shell discovery and access. The method includes gathering, by a control server, fingerprint data for a target device for which root shell access is required, generating, by a decision tree controller, a decision tree from the gathered fingerprint data, traversing, by the decision tree controller, the decision tree to determine a path to the root shell, reporting, by the decision tree controller to the control server, a found access path, connecting, by the control server to the root shell on the target device, using one or more commands associated with the found access path, and executing, by the control server at an accessed root shell of the target device, privileged commands associated with a task.

A small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver is detected to be plugged into an SFP port of the network router following a bootup of the network router. Information on one or more device features of the SFP transceiver is obtained from the SFP transceiver plugged into the SFP port of the network router. Subsequently, a port configuration policy that corresponds to the one or more device features of the SFP transceiver and one or more router parameters of the network router is applied to the SFP port of the network router.

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for implementing in an electronic device that includes a processor and memory. Virtual resources, which are associated with an execution of a user's applications in a cloud resource configuration including virtual machines, network services and storage, are identified. A first topology map of the virtual resources, including a plurality of nodes, is generated. The first topology map, including the nodes, is output. A vector, which is associated with each node, said vector including one or more features associated with each node, is generated. Based upon the vectors, a distribution of the plurality of nodes within two or more groups is determined. A second topology map, including each of the node groups in one of a collapsed format, wherein only a identifier of the node group is output or an expanded format, wherein a portion of the plurality of nodes the node group are output, is output.
