Methods and systems for configuring nodes in a redundant network configuration include identifying a master node from a plurality of nodes in the network by sending a configuration packet to each node. The configuration packet includes an identification number representing the node in the network from which the configuration packet originates, where each node in the network has a unique identification number. At each node in the network, the identification number in the configuration packet is compared to an identification number for that node. In one embodiment, the node whose identification number is greater than the identification number in the configuration packet is designated the master node. A virtual break is created in the network at the location of the master node to prevent a packet from returning to the node from which it originates.

L'invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes permettant de configurer des noeuds dans une configuration de réseau redondant par identification d'un noeud maître entre plusieurs noeuds du réseau et envoi d'un paquet de configuration à chaque noeud. Le paquet de configuration comprend un numéro d'identification représentant le noeud du réseau dont le paquet de configuration provient, chaque noeud du réseau possédant un numéro d'identification unique. Au niveau de chaque noeud du réseau, on compare le numéro d'identification du paquet de configuration à un numéro d'identification destiné à ce noeud. Dans un mode de réalisation, le noeud dont le numéro d'identification est supérieur à celui du paquet de configuration est appelé noeud maître. On crée une rupture virtuelle dans le réseau au niveau de l'emplacement du noeud maître afin d'empêcher le retour d'un paquet au noeud dont il provient.
