Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a method for automatic management network provisioning includes: broadcasting a provisioning request to one or more devices; receiving at least one provisioning reply from the device(s); and broadcasting a provisioning configuration packet to device(s) from which a provisioning reply was received. In another embodiment, a method for peer-based automatic management network provisioning includes broadcasting network configuration information corresponding to a particular device to one or more other devices of a network environment; determining, after the broadcast, whether such network configuration information was modified; and requesting, from one or more of the other devices, the network configuration information corresponding to the particular device. The request is made in response to determining the particular device network configuration information was modified after broadcasting the network configuration information to the one or more other devices. Corresponding systems and computer program products are also disclosed.
