Abstract
Embodiments allow open source software code and modules to be used in a proprietary switch system including a switch chip operating in conjunction with a processor to provide management functionality for the switch system. One or more modules provide an interface between the switch chip and open source software elements, allowing open source code to be used in the switch system to provide network management functionality.
