Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the collocation method of plate, particularly the method for automatic configuration of veneer in mobile communication system, fixed communications and the data communication system.
The background skill originally
In general, the equipment that uses in mobile communication system, fixed communications and data communication system mostly is the system of multimachine frame unit cascade.
Fig. 1 illustrates the physical arrangement of communication facilities.
As shown in Figure 1, the machine frame unit is the physical frame shelf structure of carrying veneer.System board is the circuit board that bus is carried out central authorities' control.Veneer is any one circuit board that removes system board in the system, is the unit of the needed hardware and software of carrying communication system.The veneer that does not have load software is the physical property veneer, and the veneer that has loaded software is functional veneer.According to the software difference that loads, functional veneer has been realized different functions, as: media gateway (Media Gateway), and signaling gateway (Singnalling Gateway).Different functional veneers is finished same service jointly in a communication system, as: the SGSN of 3G (sending the universal grouping wireless business supporting node of calling).Same type service can be according to configuration varying number and dissimilar functional veneers.
After the automatic configuration of veneer is the single board starting of physical property, obtain specific configuration file, load different software according to configuration file and become functional veneer.By the automatic configuration of veneer, operator only need change configuration file, just can make identical physical equipment finish different function services.
The following describes existing veneer automatic configuration method.
Real-time replacement kernel (Take over) technology that existing a kind of veneer automatic configuration method is based on Linux realizes the automatic configuration of veneer.
Fig. 2 shows the flow process of this existing veneer method of automatic configuration.
As shown in Figure 2, system board moves the veneer Configuration Manager on the hardware environment of compatible CompactPCI (small external device interconnection), after the veneer Configuration Manager starts, generate the toy data base of all single board information on this frame according to the configuration file of preserving, wait for the kernel start-up routine reporting message or the file that on veneer, move then.The veneer of compatible CompactPCI standard is at the back operation kernel start-up routine that powers on, the kernel start-up routine is very little, it is a simple linux kernel, after the startup, can check the hardware information of veneer earlier, perhaps give the veneer Configuration Manager of system board, perhaps use RCP (remote copy protocol) technology to write in the specific file of Linux on the system board (sharp Knicks) file system by IP (Internet Protocol) network with Izvestia.When the veneer Configuration Manager of system board receive message or detect specific file be created after, this module is according to content in the toy data base of content of receiving and preservation single board information, and control kernel start-up routine loads and move another real linux kernel file that comprises application with the real-time replacement Kernel Technology of Linux on veneer.Thereby realize the automatic discovery and the configuration of veneer.
In the method, exist rely on Linux replace in real time Kernel Technology and start-up time long two shortcomings.Replace Kernel Technology in real time and be used for switching to the linux kernel that another is moving from a linux kernel that is moving, the necessary framework of this technology is on the Linux platform, so Linux becomes a key factor of this method of restriction to the support of hardware; The replacement Kernel Technology also is restraining factors to the support of linux version in real time; This method has two places will prolong the single board starting time on start-up time, and first veneer has started the kernel start-up routine fully before loading real kernel, is equivalent to veneer and has experienced twice startup fully; The 2nd Linux replaces the time that Kernel Technology consumes in real time.
Existing another kind of veneer method of automatic configuration is based on the automatic configuration that improved BOOTP (BOOT strapping Protocol) agreement realizes veneer.
System board operation veneer Configuration Manager after the veneer Configuration Manager starts, generates the toy data base of all single board information on this frame according to the configuration file of preserving.The simultaneity factor plate is configured to bootp server.The BOOTP protocol procedure that is modified on the veneer can send the BOOTP request after startup, after system board receives the request of BOOTP, can check whether MAC (media interviews control) address of containing among the BOOTP is present in the configuration.If be present in the configuration, then the IP that last time used with this MAC echoes and should give veneer; If this MAC Address is not present in the configuration, then from the IP address pool that system board disposes as bootp server, take out an address response.Except the IP address, response is simultaneously given in the information of veneer and is also comprised subnet mask, default route, kernel image file name, tftp server address and configuration filename.The veneer or the main frame of other operation bootp server program also may return the BOOTP response, but owing to do not comprise the above-mentioned information of responding simultaneously in these BOOTP responses, therefore the BOOTP protocol procedure that can be modified on the veneer abandons.After veneer is obtained correct response, can arrive the kernel reflection and the configuration file of TFTP (ordinary file transfer protocol (FTP)) the server retrieves appointment of appointment in the response, and according to these file starts.Can send Cisco (Cisco) after single board starting is finished and find that agreement (CDP) offers system board and confirm that configuration finishes, this moment this veneer found fully automatically and automatically configuration finish.
The shortcoming of this method is in (1) BOOTP request not contain extra information except that MAC Address, therefore need the MAC of each piece veneer need be configured in the repository when configuration, will additionally increase the difficulty of configuration like this.(2) the bootp server process of necessary operational development on the system board.
In sum, prior art has the shortcoming of startup and setup time growing and being not easy to dispose.
