Abstract
In some examples, a switch includes a plurality of switch ports, and a processor. The processor is to send, through selected switch ports of the plurality of switch ports, respective requests for port information of device ports of a device connected to the selected switch ports, and receive, from the device responsive to the requests, the port information of the device ports. The processor is to identify, from the device ports of the device in response to the received port information, a failover device port for a first device port of the device, and send, to the device, information of the failover device port for the first device port at the device.
