1. A method comprising:
- identifying a first logical circuit identifier for a first logical circuit in a first network; and
when a failure is detected in the first logical circuit;
identifying a second logical circuit identifier for a second logical circuit in a failover network separate from the first network, the second logical circuit to reroute data from the first logical circuit; and
renaming the first logical circuit without manual intervention to identify the first logical circuit using the second logical circuit identifier.

Abstract
A disclosed example method involves identifying a first logical circuit identifier for a first logical circuit in a first network. When a failure is detected in the first logical circuit, a second logical circuit identifier for a second logical circuit in a failover network separate from the first network is identified and the first logical circuit is renamed without manual intervention to identify the first logical circuit using the second logical circuit identifier. The second logical circuit is to reroute data from the first logical circuit.

8. A system comprising:
-
a logical element module in communication with switches forming a first logical circuit in a first network and to receive status information from the switches associated with the first logical circuit; and a network management module to; identify a first logical circuit identifier for the first logical circuit; and when a failure is detected in the first logical circuit based on the status information; identify a second logical circuit identifier for a second logical circuit in a failover network separate from the first network, the second logical circuit to reroute data from the first logical circuit; and rename the first logical circuit without manual intervention to identify the first logical circuit using the second logical circuit identifier. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
