Abstract

See full text

Some embodiments provide a system that includes a backup device and a plurality of switches coupled to the backup device. A switch in the plurality of switches may be coupled to the backup device using at least a special link. The at least special link may be configured by a replacement device when the switch coupled to the backup device using the at least the special link fails, the failed switch is replaced with the replacement device, and the replacement device receives configuration data associated with the special link from another switch of the plurality of switches via a simple link. The simple link may allow communication of data without configuration of the simple link. The backup device may be configured to manage backup data associated with the plurality of switches.
