Abstract:
An information handling system such as a server, network switch, or virtual host collects electronic network topology data to identify topological redundancies between networked devices. Each topological redundancy indicates that a particular networked device has at least two physical cable connections to at least two other, separate devices. A topological redundancy to two network switches, for example, ensures that a networked device remains communicatively available should one of the network switches fail.
