Abstract:
A system and method for automatic provisioning of stacked switches includes entering a client state, setting one or more ports of the switch to normal mode, sending a first provisioning discover request on the one or more ports, receiving a first provisioning offer on a first port selected from the one or more ports, detecting whether the first provisioning offer is a full offer or a partial offer, entering a server state when the first provisioning offer is a full offer, entering a relay state when the first provisioning offer is a partial, and provisioning the switch based on information associated with the first provisioning offer.
