US Patent 10542035 Managing rogue devices through a network backhaul

Managing rogue devices in a network through a network backhaul. A rogue device is detected in a network and a rogue device message that includes the rogue device is sent to a plurality of switches in a backhaul of the network. The rogue device is added into a rogue monitor table. Whether the rogue device is In-Net or Out-Of-Net is determined using forwarding tables of the plurality of switches in the backhaul of the network and the rogue monitor table. Mitigation is performed using a nearest switch to the rogue device of the plurality of switches in the backhaul of the network if it is determined that the rogue device is In-Net.
