Method and apparatus to predict configuration viability and dynamically manage multi-dimensional system scale in MSDC switches

摘要

Methods and systems for configuring a local switch and a remote switch configured as peers. The method includes: receiving a configuration for configuring the local switch and the remote switch; checking if resources are available for the configuration on the local switch; when resources are available on the local switch, reserving those resources; checking if resources are available for the configuration of the remote switch; when resources are available on the remote switch, reserving those resources; and applying the configuration to the local switch and the remote switch when resources are available on the local switch and the remote switch.
