Providing information corresponding to a data group identifier for a network interconnect device
First Claim
1. A network interconnect device (NID) comprising:
- an interface to receive a configuration data request for the NID, wherein the configuration data request includes data identifiers determined from a data identifier group for the NID, the data identifier group comprising a reference to a parent data identifier group from which the data identifier group inherits data type information, and a data specification which overrides a corresponding data specification in the parent data identifier group;
a data storage to store information for the NID; and
a logic device to retrieve information from the data storage corresponding to the data identifiers determined from the data identifier group for the NID and to transmit a message, via the interface, including the retrieved information corresponding to the data identifiers determined from the data identifier group for the NID.

Abstract
A network interconnect device (NID) includes an interface to receive a configuration data request for the NID. The configuration data request may include data identifiers determined from a data identifier group for the NID, wherein the data identifier group comprises a reference to a parent data identifier group from which the data identifier group inherits data type information, and a data specification which overrides a corresponding data specification in the parent data identifier group. The NID also includes a data storage to store information for the NID and a logic device to retrieve information from the data storage corresponding to the data identifiers and to transmit a message including the retrieved information corresponding to the data identifiers.

9. A method of providing networked device information from a network interconnect device (NID), the method comprising:
-
receiving a configuration data request for the NID, wherein the configuration data request includes data identifiers determined from a data identifier group for the NID, the data identifier group comprising a reference to a parent data identifier group from which the data identifier group inherits data type information, and a data specification which overrides a corresponding data specification in the parent data identifier group; retrieving information from a data storage corresponding to the data identifiers determined from the data identifier group for the NID; and transmitting a message including the retrieved information corresponding to the data identifiers determined from the data identifier group for the NID. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing machine readable instructions that when executed by a logic device provide information from a network interconnect device (NID), the machine readable instructions comprising instructions to:
-
receive a configuration data request for the NID, wherein the configuration data request includes data identifiers determined from a data identifier group for the NID, the data identifier group comprising a reference to a parent data identifier group from which the data identifier group inherits data type information, and a data specification which overrides a corresponding data specification in the parent data identifier group; retrieve information from a data storage corresponding to the data identifiers determined from the data identifier group for the NID; and transmit a message including the retrieved information corresponding to the data identifiers determined from the data identifier group for the NID. - View Dependent Claims (20)
