Systems and methods for discovery and configuration of a network device

Abstract:

An integrated circuit (IC) device includes a network device including a first network port, a second network port, and an internal endpoint port. The IC device further includes a first processing unit including an internal end station. The first processing unit is configured to communicate with the network device using the internal endpoint port. The IC device further includes a second processing unit including a bridge management layer. The second processing unit is configured to communicate with the network device using the internal endpoint port. In various embodiments, the first processing unit and the second processing unit are configured to communicate with each other using a first internal channel.
