ABSTRACT:
A method and system for enabling a multi-stage switch to be adapted for single-stage switch applications. An interface manager manages the hardware interface for the multi-stage switch. The multi-stage switch includes input ports and output ports, and an input signal can be broadcast to one or more output ports. The interface manager limits the broadcasting of each input signal to avoid a blocking condition within the multi-stage switch which causes the blocking of one or more of the broadcast signals.
