Abstract
Configuration errors on interconnected network infrastructure devices are detected in a network where each network infrastructure device supplies information about its own configuration at its own network interface and sends this information to a neighboring network infrastructure device via a discovery protocol. Furthermore each network infrastructure device removes from the network the configuration data received at its interfaces in order to prevent this data from being passed on to other network infrastructure devices, and the received configuration data of the neighboring network infrastructure devices is stored as a data structure on one of the network infrastructure devices in a storage unit. The information about the neighboring network infrastructure devices is made available by the storage device of the first network infrastructure device and used to detect error configurations between the respective devices by comparison with the data deposited in the storage unit.
