Embodiment:
Low-end switch cluster management method and system that the present invention proposes manage a plurality of low side remote exchanges by a station server.Management to low-end switch is undertaken by custom-designed communication and management agreement.This agreement is operated in the network layer and the application layer of OSI (exploitation formula system interconnection reference model Open System InterconnectReference Model) reference model, in the network layer handles transfer of data, in the application layer management equipment, it depends on physical layer and link layer (promptly being operated on the link layer).With the remote exchange grouping, server can pass through this communication and management agreement, to one group of cluster management with remote exchange of identical configuration by synchronous realization low-end switch.
This communication and management agreement regulation:
1, the login process of remote exchange on server: in order to realize the localization management of remote equipment, remote exchange carries its details when signing in to server automatically, and server is its connect controll block and virtual unit in view of the above.
2, be connected maintenance process between remote exchange and the server: after equipment and server connected, both sides began to send mutually protocol massages and safeguard this connection; This safeguards that the linking portion party to the agreement shows oneself existence towards the other side, and equipment is by linking the state information of maintenance packet to server update oneself, to keep synchronous on the other hand.
3, remote exchange is to the processing procedure of administration order that server sends: switch provides exercisable administration order for server, sends order by server, and switch is carried out order, thereby realizes corresponding management functions.
4, this communication and management agreement be to the specific configuration information of switch device and will not stipulating for administration order of being provided, therefore can be defined by the user, add new equipment and new function.
Further specify technical scheme of the present invention below by specific implementation process.
1, device logs:
Equipment is in case startup begins timed sending logging request message, and flow process is referring to Fig. 1.Comprise information such as device type, user name, implementor name in the message.The logging request message is a broadcasting packet.Have only a management server in the broadcast domain, have two or more servers in the same else if broadcast domain, can prevent that a device logs is to other server by " refusal port "." refusal port " is meant that this port of server abandons received logging request message.For example, suppose that equipment 1 links to each other with the port one of server A, equipment 2 links to each other with the port one of server B, and the port 2 of server A links to each other with the port 2 of server B.The port 2 of server A and the port 2 of server B can be set to refuse port so, equipment 1 just can not sign in to server B like this, and equipment 2 can not sign in to server A yet.
