Abstract

A resource generates and provides discovery configuration information to a network appliance. The network appliance validates the discovery configuration information, such as by validating a token within the discovery configuration information, then is configured using at least the discovery configuration information and passes at least a portion of the discovery configuration information to a network disjoint from that which connects the resource and the network appliance. This portion of discovery configuration information may include service advertisement information, routing information for traversing the network topology, and in some embodiments, the validation token.
