When the network equipment is found the network equipment in the automatic device discovery process, by obtaining the ARP table that is found the network equipment, remove to obtain the ARP table of the network equipment (abbreviating related network equipment as) that is found the network equipment and is associated according to the IP address under the ipNetToMediaNetAddress field in the ARP table, if get access to the ARP table of related network equipment, then looking this related network equipment is found, obtain the type of related network equipment according to aforementioned manner, information such as manufacturer are with the IP address of this related network equipment, type, information stores such as manufacturer are in list of devices; If do not get access to the ARP table of this related network equipment, it is unreachable then to look this related network equipment.Present embodiment is according to the IP address under the ipNetToMediaNetAddress field in the ARP table that is found the network equipment (being related network equipment), carry out recurrence successively, with the IP address under the ipNetToMediaNetAddress field unreachable or existed in the list of devices till, the network equipment in the whole network is replenished discovery.
Wherein, (promptly in the automatic device discovery process of carrying out, be found), then can have no longer stored this network equipment, and proceed follow-up recursive operation according to routing table if the network equipment of finding according to ARP table has existed in the list of devices.
Wherein, the operation of carrying out device discovery according to ARP table also can be after the process of carrying out automatic device discovery according to routing table finishes, treat that promptly all can be found by the network equipment that routing table is found after.In addition, carrying out the operation of automatic device discovery can carry out simultaneously in that the network equipment is found according to ARP table, promptly carrying out the process of automatic device discovery according to routing table carries out simultaneously with the process of carrying out automatic device discovery according to the ARP table, it is every automatic device discovery operation of just obtaining the ARP table of this network equipment and carrying out carrying out when finding a network equipment according to the ARP table according to routing table, can improve device discovery efficient like this, be a kind of preferred implementation.
The method for discovering network topology of present embodiment further carries out the discovery of the network equipment by the ARP table that is found the network equipment, can overcome because the subnetwork equipment that the routing table characteristic causes can not found defective.In addition, adopt according to routing table with according to the ARP table and carry out the execution mode of automatic device discovery simultaneously, can also guarantee the efficient of automatic device discovery.
The flow chart of the method for discovering network topology that Fig. 3 provides for the embodiment of the invention three.Present embodiment realizes that based on embodiment two as shown in Figure 3, the method for present embodiment also comprises:
Step 14, according to the mac address forwarding table of the network equipment, carry out the automatic discovery of the physical network topology of network, to form second topological structure of network, described second topological structure comprises second physical link between the network equipment;
Wherein, mac address forwarding table is as shown in table 3, comprises transmitting MAC Address (dotldTpFdbAddress) and message forwarding port (dotldTpFdbPort).
Table 3
dotldTpFdbAddress dotldTpFdbPort

Because in step 13, network management device has carried out further discovery to the network equipment, might find the new network equipment, at this moment, might not comprise in logical links between the network equipment that network management device is set up in step 12 and the physical link and the network equipment that this is new between annexation.Based on this, the network management device of present embodiment obtains physical link between the found network equipment, i.e. second physical link on the whole based on general mib information.Wherein, first physical link and second physical link are meant the physical link between the network equipment that different phase is obtained with distinct methods respectively, in second physical link, can comprise with first physical link in identical physical link.
Concrete, network management device is a unit with the subnet, obtains the network topology of each subnet, then the network topology analysis of all-ones subnet is obtained whole network of network topology.Wherein, the network management device process of obtaining the network topology of subnet comprises:
Step 141, from MIB, obtain the mac address forwarding table of the network equipment,, determine the last connecting port of the network equipment according to canned data in the mac address forwarding table;
Wherein, last connecting port is meant that the network equipment (for example switch or router etc.) upward leads to the interface of the gateway device of place subnet.For example: be exactly to go up connecting port with interface that gateway device directly links to each other on the network equipment, the interface that links to each other with gateway device by other network equipments on the network equipment also be on connecting port.Concrete, if the MAC Address field that comprises in the mac address forwarding table of the network equipment is the MAC Address of gateway device, then corresponding with this MAC Address field message is transmitted port and is connecting port.If the MAC Address field in the mac address forwarding table of the network equipment is the MAC Address of non-gateway equipment, it is second line of a couplet interface that then corresponding with this MAC Address field message is transmitted port.For example: if the B8-AC-6F-40-37-5A in the table 3 is the MAC Address of gateway device, then message forwarding port 20 is last connecting port; If the B8-AC-6F-40-37-5B in the table 3 is the MAC Address of main frame, then message forwarding port 21 is a second line of a couplet interface.
Step 142, determine logical links between the network equipment according to the last connecting port of the network equipment;
Concrete, if comprise the record of connecting port in the mac address forwarding table of the network equipment, then determine to exist between the network equipment and the gateway device logical links; If comprise the record of second line of a couplet interface in the mac address forwarding table of the network equipment, then determine to have a logical links between the network equipment network equipment corresponding with second line of a couplet interface.Above-mentionedly be present in the network message that two logical links between the network equipment also are meant a network equipment and can arrive another network equipment.
Virtual link in step 143, the deletion logical links is determined second physical link between the network equipment;
Logical links between the network equipment of determining in step 142 can be real second physical link that exists, and also can be some non-existent virtual links.Virtual link is for second physical link of real existence, is some annexations that really do not exist between the network equipment of being found.
Network management device is by removing non-existent virtual link, and remaining second physical link is to form second topological structure of network.Wherein, the network equipment judges that whether a logical links is that the foundation of virtual link is the triangle algorithm.Promptly for any three network equipments, if finding the same interface of first network equipment is connected with the 3rd network equipment with second network equipment simultaneously, and second network equipment by other interfaces (promptly remove with interface that first network equipment is connected interface) be connected with the 3rd network equipment, the link between then definite first network equipment and the 3rd network equipment belongs to the virtual link that need remove.With first network equipment with the topological structure that obtains after virtual link between the 3rd network equipment removes be: first network equipment directly is connected with second network equipment; Second network equipment directly is connected with the 3rd network equipment; And first network equipment is connected with the 3rd network equipment by second network equipment.
Step 144, according to second physical link of the network equipment, determine the dummy device of network.
When the above-mentioned physical link of determining between two network equipments, an interface that a network equipment may occur connects the situation of many network equipments, at this moment, can determine connecting under this interface a dummy device, many network equipments are connected with this interface of this network equipment by this dummy device.Described " dummy device " mainly is meant the network equipment that does not have two layers of sign (for example not having MAC Address) and three layers of sign (for example IP address), mainly is meant physical layer equipment, for example hub.Dummy device can't be found automatically, needs to derive indirectly.So far form the network topology of subnet.If do not exist the same interface of the network equipment to connect the situation of many network equipments in second physical link of finding, then can determine not exist in this network dummy device.
Wherein, when there is a plurality of subnet in whole network; gateway device can be connected with a plurality of subnets usually; at this moment; the existence of this gateway device all can be arranged in a plurality of subnets; so, the network topology analysis of all-ones subnet is being obtained the union operation that comprises in the whole network of network topology same gateway equipment.Concrete, network management device can be judged whether gateway device is identical, and identical gateway device is merged into one by the MAC Address of the gateway device under the traversal all-ones subnet, to form second topological structure of network.
Wherein, be in the network of the same network segment for a subnet or all-network equipment, after finding dummy device, the discovering network topology process just can finish substantially.But, for complicated network, for example: by managing the network that network segment IP address manages, the second line of a couplet interface that certain network equipment may occur is connected with the network equipment with two layers of forwarding capability (for example Layer 2 switch), and with this network equipment with two layers of forwarding capability not at the same network segment, then the dummy device that calculates according to above-mentioned steps might be wrong.Therefore, in the present embodiment, network management device gets access to after second topological structure of whole net, also comprises:
Step 15a, judge whether there is dummy device in second topological structure; When judged result when having dummy device, execution in step 15b; Otherwise, execution in step 16;
Whether have first network equipment in 15b, judgement and the network equipment that dummy device is connected, described first network equipment is meant the network equipment that has mac address forwarding table; When existence has first network equipment (for example switch) of mac address forwarding table in the network equipment that judged result is with dummy device is connected, execution in step 15c; Otherwise, execution in step 16.
Step 15c, judge the MAC Address that whether has other network equipments that link to each other with dummy device in the mac address forwarding table of first network equipment; If judged result is for existing, execution in step 15d then, otherwise, execution in step 16.
Step 15d, dummy device and first network equipment are merged, determine that promptly dummy device is first network equipment, execution in step 16 then;
15d further revises second topological structure by above-mentioned steps 15a-step, solves the problem that occurs wrong dummy device in second topological structure.
With the network configuration shown in Fig. 4 A is example, describes present embodiment solves the dummy device problem by step 15a-step 15d process in detail.In network shown in Fig. 4 A, first switch is connected with convergence router; Second switch is connected with first switch; First main frame is connected with second switch respectively with second main frame; The first node router is connected with convergence router by optical fiber respectively with the Section Point router, constitutes the optical fiber private network; First access switch is connected with the first node router; Second access switch is connected with the Section Point router.Wherein, first switch, second switch and convergence router belong to the same management ip address network segment, but, first main frame and second main frame belong to another IP address network segment, promptly inconsistent with the IP address network segment of second switch, and first main frame and second main frame and first switch belong to same VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network; Abbreviate as: VLAN), that is to say, first main frame and second main frame do not need to insert second switch and can be directly with data penetration transmission to first switch.
Based on above-mentioned, when adopting the present embodiment above-mentioned steps to find second topological structure, owing to connecting second switch and first main frame and second main frame simultaneously on the same interface of judging first switch, the interface that then can determine first switch connects a dummy device down, second switch and first main frame are connected with first switch by this dummy device with second main frame, shown in Fig. 4 B, structure shown in Fig. 4 B also is the discovery result that existing various network topologies is found scheme.Analysis chart 4A and Fig. 4 B as can be known, the true topological structure shown in structure shown in Fig. 4 B and Fig. 4 A is inconsistent.In the present embodiment, further get access to dummy device among Fig. 4 B by step 15a, judge this dummy device by step 15b and be connected with second switch and first main frame and second main frame simultaneously, wherein second switch has mac address forwarding table; Because first main frame is connected with second switch with second main frame, therefore in judging the mac address table of second switch, step 15c has first main frame and MAC Address second main frame, then second switch and dummy device are merged, promptly obtain the topological structure shown in Fig. 4 C by step 15d; Fig. 4 C and Fig. 4 A are compared and can find: Fig. 4 C can correctly reflect the topological relation of network shown in Fig. 4 A.
Further needing explanation, because above-mentioned steps 15a-step 15d is relevant with network characteristics, therefore, but is a selection operation.For example: when not having subnet in the network, just do not have the wrongheaded situation of dummy device, therefore, in whole embodiment, can not comprise above-mentioned steps 15a-step 15d.
Step 16, analysis first topological structure and second topological structure obtain the network of network topology.
Concrete, in first topological structure that in the automatic device discovery process, forms according to routing table, in second topological structure that after automatic device discovery finishes, forms according to mac address forwarding table, and between first topological structure and second topological structure, may there be redundancy, for example: may not only set up logical links but also set up physical link between two network equipments after aforesaid operations, then this logical links conflicts mutually with this physical link; Again for example: after aforesaid operations, between two network equipments, set up two physical links.Present embodiment is by analyzing first topological structure and second topological structure, the logical links that deletion conflicts with first physical link or second physical link, merge identical physical link in first physical link and second physical link, succinct to form, can be truly, the network topology structure of the annexation in the complete body existing network network between the network equipment and the network equipment.
