Abstract
In an approach for distributed management of a network, a processor discovers a network, wherein the network is comprised of a plurality of nodes and an at least one switch. A processor identifies a first port associated with the at least one node. A processor identifies a link between the first port and a second port within the network. A processor determines the at least one link is properly configured. A processor selects a first node of the plurality of nodes to be a master node, wherein the master node is configured to manage the network. A processor initializes a routing table, wherein the routing table contains locations of each node in the plurality of nodes and a location of the at least one switch. A processor adjusts by the first node, the routing table based on the change to the network.
