Abstract

See full text

The disclosure is related to a method and a system for managing multiple devices within a network system. For the purpose of configuration or firmware synchronization for the devices within a network segment, the system allows an operator to optionally select the nodes operating as different roles such as a master, synchronization-source device, and slave. A selected device being the master is embedded with a web-based management mechanism, and therefore is remotely accessible. The management program provides a management interface in response to a management link. The management interface allows the operator to instruct the master to synchronize its configuration/firmware with the other selected nodes. Alternatively, through the master, one of the nodes is selected to be the synchronization-source device, and instructed to share its configuration to the other nodes. Through this management mechanism, the multiple nodes can be synchronized as applying the configuration, or/and firmware simultaneously.
