ABSTRACT:
A method of configuring a network. The network includes some physical devices, some hosts, and a network management tool. The method comprises the following steps. First, generate a set of leaf nodes. Each leaf node includes at least one physical device and connects to at least one host. Next, generate an adjacency matrix from said set of leaf nodes. Next, generate a set of interconnect nodes, the interconnect nodes connect the set of leaf nodes. Next, determine the resource availability for the set of interconnect nodes. Finally, configure the set of interconnect nodes and the set of leaf nodes after determining that sufficient resources are available.
