Flexible Ethernet Flexe Automatic Configuration Method and Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18091976 titled 'Flexible Ethernet Flexe Automatic Configuration Method and Apparatus

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for automatically configuring FlexE (Flex Ethernet) information in a communication apparatus. The method involves receiving FlexE configuration information from another communication apparatus and using this information to configure the local FlexE settings in the first communication apparatus. This ensures that the FlexE configuration of both communication apparatuses is consistent, allowing for the establishment of a FlexE connection.

  • The method is implemented by a first communication apparatus.
  • The first communication apparatus receives FlexE configuration information from a second communication apparatus.
  • Based on the received FlexE configuration information, the first communication apparatus performs local FlexE configuration.
  • The configuration is performed on a first physical interface of the first communication apparatus.
  • The first communication apparatus obtains the FlexE configuration information and applies it to the first physical interface.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in communication networks that use FlexE for flexible Ethernet transport.
  • It can be used in data centers, telecommunications networks, and other high-speed communication systems.

Problems Solved

  • Manual configuration of FlexE settings can be time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Inconsistent FlexE configurations between communication apparatuses can lead to connection issues and network failures.

Benefits

  • The automatic configuration method simplifies the process of setting up FlexE connections.
  • It ensures that the FlexE configurations of different communication apparatuses are consistent, improving network reliability.
  • By reducing manual configuration, it saves time and reduces the risk of human errors.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of this application disclose a FlexE information automatic configuration method, and the method may be implemented by a first communication apparatus. The first communication apparatus may receive first FlexE configuration information sent by a second communication apparatus. After receiving the first FlexE configuration information, the first communication apparatus may perform local FlexE configuration based on the first FlexE configuration information, so that FlexE configuration information of the first communication apparatus is consistent with FlexE configuration information of the second communication apparatus, to establish a FlexE connection. The second FlexE configuration information is used to perform FlexE configuration on a first physical interface on the first communication apparatus. The first communication apparatus may obtain the first FlexE configuration information, and implement the FlexE configuration on the first physical interface based on the first FlexE configuration information.
