Abstract

This paper proposes a configuration automation technique to minimize service interruption time in the event of a corporate network access layer switch failure. The automation is achieved without the need for a separate external system, as the network setting information is stored in a container inside the switch, enabling rapid recovery without requiring separate storage. This approach ensures the continuity of network services and demonstrates the efficiency of configuration automation. The proposed technique improves corporate network stability by providing a quick response in the event of a failure.
