Creating a graphical program to configure one or more switch devices
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for creating a graphical program to configure one or more switch devices, the method comprising:
- displaying a first node in the graphical program, wherein the first node is operable to use route information to configure the one or more switch devices;
configuring the first node with route information specifying one or more routes; and
executing the graphical program, wherein said executing the graphical program comprises executing the first node, wherein the first node executes to configure the one or more switch devices according to the one or more routes.

Abstract
A system and method for creating a graphical program operable to configure one or more switch devices. A first node may be displayed in the graphical program, wherein the first node is operable to use route information to control or configure one or more of switch devices in a switching system. The first node may be configured with route information. For example, the route information may comprise information specifying one or more routes previously configured and stored. Also, the route information may comprise information specifying two endpoints of a route, as in the case of run-time auto-routing, or may comprise information explicitly specifying a complete route. The first node may be operable to perform various types of operations to control or configure the one or more switch devices, such as a connect operation to connect specified routes.

29. A memory medium for creating a graphical program to configure one or more switch devices, the memory medium comprising program instructions executable to:
-
receive user input requesting inclusion of a first node in the graphical program;
display the first node in the graphical program in response to the request, wherein the first node is operable to use route information to configure the one or more switch devices; and
configure the first node with route information specifying one or more routes such that during execution of the graphical program the first node executes to configure the one or more switch devices according to the one or more routes. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
