Abstract
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and devices for automatically configuring a network captured traffic distribution device communicatively coupled to a stacked topology of network captured traffic distribution devices are described. The automatic configuration may include an exchange of configuration information between a first and second network captured traffic distribution device included in a stacked topology. The configuration information of a network captured traffic distribution device may also be automatically updated when, for example, a change is detected in the stacked topology or on a periodic or as needed basis.
