STATIC ENDPOINT VALIDATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- querying a network controller to identify a configured static endpoint in a logical model of a network;
retrieving, from one or more nodes in the network, endpoint information for a set of connected endpoints in the network;
determining that the endpoint information does not include the configured static endpoint in the set of connected endpoints; and
identifying a first static endpoint inconsistency between the logical model and the endpoint information based on the endpoint information not including the configured static endpoint in the set of connected endpoints.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for validating endpoint information for nodes in a network. A network assurance appliance is configured to retrieve a configured static endpoint information in a logical model of a network from a network controller and connected static endpoint information from one or more nodes in the network. The network assurance appliance determines that there is an inconsistency based on a comparison of the configured static endpoint information and the connected static endpoint information and generating an event specifying the inconsistency.

10. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and at least one computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to; retrieve endpoint information from one or more nodes in the network; identify a connected static endpoint in the endpoint information based on a static flag for the connected static endpoint being set; query a network controller to make a determination that the connected static endpoint does not have a corresponding static endpoint in the logical model of the network; and identify a first static endpoint inconsistency based on the determination. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
-
retrieving, from a network controller, a configured static endpoint information in a logical model of a network; retrieve, from one or more nodes in the network, connected static endpoint information; determining that there is an inconsistency based on a comparison of the configured static endpoint information and the connected static endpoint information; and generating an event specifying the inconsistency. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
