ABSTRACT:
One embodiment relates to a method of a single network device outside of a group of switches connecting via multiple connections to the group of switches. Multiple ports of the single network device are connected with ports of at least one switch within the group, and the connected ports on the at least one switch are mapped to different virtual local area networks configured in the group of switches. A path from each of the connected ports on the at least one switch are replicated through the group of switches. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
