VALIDATION OF A VIRTUAL PORT CHANNEL (VPC) ENDPOINT IN THE NETWORK FABRIC
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- retrieving, from a first leaf node in a network, first endpoint information for a first set of endpoints connected to the first leaf node, wherein the first set of endpoints includes a virtual port channel (VPC) endpoint;
retrieving, from a second leaf node in the network, second endpoint information for a second set of endpoints connected to the second leaf node;
comparing the first endpoint information with the second endpoint information;
identifying, based on the comparing, an inconsistency when the first endpoint information and the second endpoint information do not match; and
generating an event based on the inconsistency.

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, from a first leaf node in a network, first endpoint information for a first set of endpoints connected to the first leaf node, wherein the first set of endpoints includes a virtual port channel (VPC) endpoint. The network assurance appliance retrieves second endpoint information from a second node in the network, compares the first endpoint information with the second endpoint information, and identifies an inconsistency when the first endpoint information and the second endpoint information do not match.

11. 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, from a first leaf node in a network, first endpoint information for a first set of endpoints connected to the first leaf node, wherein the first set of endpoints includes a virtual port channel (VPC) endpoint; retrieve, from a second node in the network, second endpoint information; compare the first endpoint information with the second endpoint information; and identify an inconsistency when the first endpoint information and the second endpoint information do not match. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored therein instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
-
retrieve endpoint information from a plurality of leaf nodes in a network, the endpoint information including a plurality of associations between leaf nodes and endpoints; determining, based on the endpoint information, that a number of leaf nodes in the plurality of leaf nodes in the network are associated with a VPC endpoint; and generating an event based on the determining. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
