An automated method of detecting, and provisioning connections between interconnected nodes (10a, 10b) in a consolidated network element (24) involves sending messages (50) between the nodes. The messages are inserted into data frames (30) sent from respective transmit ports (18) through inter node links (28), to respective receive ports (20). The messages contain information used to provision the receive ports at which they are received, and information for identifying equipment that generated, transmitted, and conveyed the message, respectively, so that the connectivity of the interconnected nodes can be verified.

L'invention concerne un procédé de détection et de mise en oeuvre de connexion automatique entre noeuds interconnectés (10a, 10b), dans un élément de réseau unifié (24), qui consiste à transmettre des messages (50) entre les noeuds. On introduit ces messages dans des trames de données (30) adressées depuis les points de transmission respectifs (18), via des liaisons entre noeuds (28), aux points de réception respectifs (20). Les messages en question renferment l'information utilisée dans la mise en oeuvre des points prévus pour leur réception, ainsi que l'information permettant d'identifier les équipements ayant établi, transmis et remis ces messages, respectivement, moyennant quoi il est possible de vérifier l'interconnectivité des noeuds interconnectés.
