Abstract:
This application describes a system and method for auto configuring data center networks. The networks include a plurality of electronic devices that may include switches, servers, routers, or any other device that may be used in a data center network. Graph theory is applied to the arrangement of the network devices to determine if the intended design of the data network matches the actual implementation of the network. This may be achieved by resolving the blueprint graph with the physical graph to determine if they are isomorphic. Also, the isomorphic techniques may be used to detect miswirings in the network that do not cause a node degree change for any of the network components.
