Description

MAC Address synchronous method and the device of TRILL network

Technical field

The application relates to network communications technology field, particularly a kind of MAC Address of TRILL networkSynchronous method and device.

Background technology

TRILL (TRansparentInterconnectionofLotsofLinks, multichain connects transparent interconnection)Agreement by by three layers of route technology IS-IS (IntermediateSystem-to-IntermediateSystem,Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System) mentality of designing introduce double layer network, thereby simple, flexibly by two layersProperty and three layers stable, can expand and high-performance organically blends, be applicable to very much data center and build largeThe needs of type double layer network. Below the basic concepts in TRILL agreement is simply introduced.

RB (RoutingBridge, routing bridge): the Bridge equipment of operation TRILL agreement is calledRB, also writes RBridge.

TRILL network: the double layer network being made up of RB is called TRILL network, as illustrated in fig. 1 and 2.

NickName (pet name): the address of RB in TRILL network is also that RB is at TRILL netUnique identification in network. Nickname is distributed automatically by system, without configuration.

AVF (AppointedVLAN-xForwarder, assigned vlan forwarding person) and designated port:TRILL agreement is relevant with VLAN (VirtualLocalAreaNetwork, VLAN), forPrevent loop, what all local flow on a network segment in a VLAN must be from same RBSame port goes out, enters TRILL network, and this RB is called the AVF of this VLAN, and corresponding port claimsFor designated port.

In prior art, in the time that RB receives user's unicast data message of local network, can be according to being somebody's turn to doObject MAC (MediaAccessControl, the media interviews control) address of user's unicast data messageIn local mac address table, search coupling list item with VLANID, if do not find coupling list item,After this user's unicast data message being packaged into TRILL multicast data message, in same VLAN, enterRow broadcast, but can take so the more network bandwidth, reduce message repeating efficiency. In order to solve thisProblem, IETF (InternetEngineeringTaskForce, Internet Engineering task groups) TRILL workAs group, use ESADI (EndStationAddressDistributionInformation, terminal are proposedAddress information is synchronous) agreement completes the synchronous of MAC Address. Taking the TRILL network shown in Fig. 1 asExample, illustrates and uses ESADI agreement to carry out the synchronous process of MAC Address.

As shown in Figure 1, RB201 (Nickname is 0x0201) learns by source MAC, learnsPractise and arrived the MAC Address mac1 of terminal device 1 in local network (VLANID is vlan1), andAdd in local mac address table, as shown in table 1:

Table 1

MAC Address	VLAN ID	Outgoing interface
			mac1	vlan1	RB201 connects the interface of local network

After being designated as the AVF of vlan1, RB201 can be carried at ESADI by mac1 and vlan1In protocol massages, broadcast, other RB receives after this ESADI protocol massages, if this other RBEquipment is also the AVF of vlan1, can in local mac address table, add MAC as shown in table 2List item. Suppose, as the RB202 of the AVF of vlan1 in local mac address table, added asMAC address entries shown in table 2, the Nickname that the outgoing interface in this MAC address entries is RB201.

Table 2

MAC Address	VLAN ID	Outgoing interface
			mac1	vlan1	0x0201

In the time that terminal device 2 is wanted to communicate by letter with terminal device 1, send target MAC (Media Access Control) address to RB202For user's unicast data message that mac1, VLANID are vlan1, it is single that RB202 receives this userAfter multicast data message, according to mac1 and vlan1, in local mac address table, find as tableCoupling list item shown in 2, is packaged into this user's unicast data message after TRILL unicast data messageSend to RB201. RB201 receives and carries out decapsulation after this TRILL unicast data message to obtain user singleMulticast data message, according to mac1 and vlan1 in this user's unicast data message, at local MACIn address table, find coupling list item as shown in table 1, thereby, can be by this user's unicast data messageBe transmitted to terminal device 1.

Therefore, synchronous by using ESADI agreement to carry out MAC Address, greatly reduce TRILLIn network, the quantity of the unicast message of target MAC (Media Access Control) address the unknown, has saved the network bandwidth, has improvedMessage repeating efficiency in TRILL network.

Within the data center of ESADI protocol application in TRILL network time, in these dataBetween all RB of the intracardiac AVF as same VLAN, mutual ESADI protocol massages, synchronously shouldThe MAC Address of all terminal devices in VLAN. When having disposed in multiple data in TRILL networkWhen the heart, if need to communicate between the terminal device at different pieces of information center, in multiple data centers, doBetween all RB for the AVF of same VLAN, need mutual ESADI protocol massages, be synchronously somebody's turn to doThe MAC Address of all terminal devices in VLAN.

But the MAC address entries spatial content on RB is limited, and, be deployed on diverse locationThe MAC address entries spatial content of RB not identical yet, wherein, the MAC address entries space of core layer RBCapacity is larger, and the MAC address entries spatial content of Access Layer RB is less, and terminal device generally all connectsOn Access Layer RB, so just require Access Layer RB except learning the terminal device in local networkMAC Address beyond, also to learn in same data center and in other data center as sameAll MAC Address that other RB of the AVF of VLAN synchronously comes, huge like this MAC address entriesQuantity is unaffordable for Access Layer RB.

Detailed description of the invention

In prior art, multiple data centers in TRILL network, are disposed, the end at different pieces of information centerWhile needing to communicate between end equipment, Access Layer RB is except learning the terminal device in local networkMAC Address beyond, also to learn in same data center and in other data center as sameAll MAC Address that other RB of the AVF of VLAN synchronously comes, huge like this MAC address entriesQuantity is unaffordable for Access Layer RB. Ask in order to solve exist in prior art above-mentionedInscribe, in the embodiment of the present application, provide a kind of MAC Address synchronous method of TRILL network, Yi JiyiPlant the MAC Address sychronisation of the TRILL network that can apply the method.

The embodiment of the present application is applied in the TRILL network that comprises multiple data centers.

The MAC Address synchronous method of the TRILL network in the embodiment of the present application comprises following content:

One, MAC Address synchronizing process

Keeper, by the mode of static configuration, is configured to core by the role of the RB in data centerLayer RB. For example, a RB who configures in same data center is core layer RB, and configures other RBFor Access Layer RB; Or a RB who configures in same data center is core layer RB, other RBBe Access Layer RB.

The first Access Layer RB, the second Access Layer RB, the first core layer RB and the second core hereinafterLayer RB do not refer in particular to a certain Access Layer RB and a certain core layer RB, just makes for convenience of descriptionName.

The first Access Layer RB, after the user's unicast data message receiving from local network, carries outThe study of source MAC, by source MAC and the VLANID thereof of this user's unicast data messageStudy in mac address table, wherein, corresponding outgoing interface be this user's unicast data message enter to connectMouthful.

The first Access Layer RB also can in notebook data intracardiac as same VLAN (for convenience,Be designated as VLAN1) the second Access Layer RB of AVF send L1 (Level1, one deck) ESADIProtocol massages, carries in L1ESADI protocol massages in the local network that the first Access Layer RB learnsMAC Address in VLAN1, so that the second Access Layer RB adds MAC in mac address tableList item, the MAC Address in this MAC address entries is the MAC Address in L1ESADI protocol massages,VLANID is the ID of VLAN1, and outgoing interface is the NickName of the first Access Layer RB. Like this,All Access Layer RB of the AVF of the same VLAN of conduct in same data center are by mutual L1ESADI protocol massages, has realized the synchronous of all MAC Address in same VLAN.

All Access Layer RB of the AVF of the same VLAN of conduct in above-mentioned same data centerIn the process of mutual L1ESADI protocol massages, the core layer RB in this data center (is called the first coreHeart layer RB) can intercept these L1ESADI protocol massages, and by the L1ESADI agreement report listening toMAC Address in literary composition and VLANID thereof learn in mac address table, and wherein, corresponding goes out to connectMouth is the NickName of the Access Layer RB of this L1ESADI protocol massages of transmission. By above-mentioned interceptingWith MAC address learning process, the first core layer RB can obtain all VLAN intracardiac in notebook dataInterior MAC Address.

The first core layer RB can send the ESADI protocol massages of two types: L1ESADI agreement reportLiterary composition and L2 (Level2, two layers) ESADI protocol massages.

Concrete, for each VLAN intracardiac in notebook data, it is right that the first core layer RB can generateThe L1ESADI protocol massages of answering also sends to the institute of the intracardiac AVF as this VLAN in notebook dataThere is Access Layer RB, wherein, in this L1ESADI protocol massages, carry default MAC Address; ReceiveAccess Layer RB to this L1ESADI protocol massages can add corresponding MAC in mac address tableList item, the MAC Address in this MAC address entries is default MAC Address, VLANID is this VLANID, outgoing interface is the NickName of the first core layer RB.

In actual implementation process, default MAC Address can be the unicast mac address of arbitrary reservation,For example, 0000-0000-0000. The first core layer RB obtains the mode of VLAN intracardiac in notebook dataCan there be following two kinds of modes:

Mode one, static configuration mode

By keeper, the VLAN in data center is configured to the first core layer RB in this data centerUpper, like this, according to user's configuration, the VLANID in the first core layer RB meeting minute book data center,Then,, for this VLANID, generate the corresponding L1ESADI agreement that carries default MAC AddressMessage also sends to the Access Layer RB of the AVF of this VLAN of conduct intracardiac in notebook data.

Mode two, Dynamic Acquisition mode

Due in the mistake of intercepting the L1ESADI protocol massages that Access Layer RB intracardiac in notebook data sendsCheng Zhong, the first core layer RB can be by the MAC Address in the L1ESADI protocol massages listening to andVLANID learns in mac address table, thereby the first core layer RB can get notebook dataIn intracardiac VLAN. Like this, whether the first core layer RB can detect in mac address table and occurNew VLANID, if there is a new VLANID, generate corresponding for this VLANIDThe L1ESADI protocol massages that carries default MAC Address and send to work intracardiac in notebook dataFor the Access Layer RB of the AVF of this VLAN.

In addition, in different pieces of information, between intracardiac core layer RB, also can mutually send L2ESADI agreementMessage, as shown in Figure 2, the first core layer RB can carry out following steps:

Step S102, carries the MAC Address in same VLAN intracardiac in the notebook data of learningIn L2ESADI protocol massages, send to the second core layer RB in other data center;

Wherein, study to notebook data in MAC Address in intracardiac same VLAN be: MACIn address table from the L1ESADI protocol massages learning that listens to this VLAN in MAC groundLocation.

Step S104, receives the L2ESADI protocol massages that the second core layer RB sends, wherein,Self the place number that carries in the L2ESADI protocol massages receiving that the second core layer RB learnsAccording in MAC Address in intracardiac this VLAN;

Step S106 adds MAC address entries in mac address table, the MAC in this MAC address entriesAddress is the MAC Address in the L2ESADI protocol massages receiving, and VLANID is this VLANID, outgoing interface is the NickName of the second core layer RB. Like this, intracardiac core in different pieces of informationMutual L2ESADI protocol massages between heart layer RB, can realize intracardiac owning in different pieces of informationThe MAC Address of VLAN synchronous.

In actual implementation process, if the first core layer RB has also connected local network, that is, and firstCore layer RB is also Access Layer RB simultaneously, and so, the first core layer RB also can carry out above-mentioned first and connectEnter MAC address learning and synchronizing process that layer RB need to carry out. L1ESADI protocol massages and L2ESADI protocol massages sends according to VLAN,, generates corresponding L1 for arbitrary VLAN that isESADI protocol massages or L2ESADI protocol massages send, this L1ESADI protocol massages orIn L2ESADI protocol massages, only carry the MAC Address that belongs to this VLAN.

L1ESADI protocol massages is ESADI protocol massages of the prior art, L1ESADI agreementMessage only sends on the interface of L1 type; And L2ESADI protocol massages and L1ESADI agreement reportLiterary composition is different, only on the interface of L2 type, sends. L1ESADI protocol massages and L2ESADI agreementAs shown in Figure 3, ESADIPayload (ESADI load) is wherein for carrying MAC for the form of messageAddress. As shown in Figure 4, ESADIPayload comprises PDUType and VariableLengthFields,Be introduced respectively below:

PDUType (protocol Data Unit type): for identifying the type of this ESADI protocol massagesL1ESADI protocol massages or L2ESADI protocol massages, L1ESADI protocol massages and L2The PDUType value difference of ESADI protocol massages;

VariableLengthFields (variable-length territory): can carry as shown in Figure 5 multiple in this territoryMACReachabilityTLV ((TypeLengthValue, type is long for MAC accessibility TLVDegree value)), in MACReachabilityTLV, mainly comprise following field: Type, Length, VLAN-IDAnd MAC. Wherein:

Type: type is 147;

Value portion in Length:MACReachabilityTLV except Type and LengthThe total length dividing, for (5+6 × n) byte, wherein, the number that n is MAC Address;

VLANID under VLAN-ID:MAC address, according to RFC (RequestForComments, Request for Comment) 7357 requirement, this field must be set to zero. Receiving terminal study MACWhen MAC Address in ReachabilityTLV, no matter the value in VLAN-ID is how many, shouldMAC address learning is in mac address table time, and the value of VLANID should be used this ESADI agreement reportThe value of VLANID in InnerEthernetAddress (internal layer ethernet address) in literary composition.

MAC (i): for carrying MAC Address, the length of this field is 6 bytes.

Therefore, by above-mentioned MAC Address synchronizing process, the mac address table of core layer RBThe MAC address entries quantity of middle preservation is larger, not only preserved in all VLAN intracardiac in notebook dataThe MAC address entries that MAC Address is corresponding, has also preserved the MAC of all VLAN in other data centerThe MAC address entries that address is corresponding; And the MAC address entries number of preserving in the mac address table of Access Layer RBAmount seldom, is only preserved in MAC address entries that MAC Address in local network is corresponding, notebook data intracardiacMAC corresponding to MAC Address synchronously coming as other Access Layer RB of the AVF of same VLANList item and MAC address entries corresponding to default MAC Address, that is, and the MAC Address of Access Layer RBIn table without other Access Layer RB of AVF that preserves the same VLAN of conduct in other data centerMAC address entries corresponding to MAC Address that study is arrived, thereby, the MAC of Access Layer RB alleviatedLocation learning pressure, has saved the MAC address entries quantity of Access Layer RB.

Two, message repeating process

As shown in Figure 6, the method for the first Access Layer RB forwarding user unicast data message comprises following stepRapid:

Step S202, after receiving user's unicast data message, according to this user from local networkThe target MAC (Media Access Control) address of unicast data message and VLANID search matching list in mac address table;

Step S204, judges whether to have found coupling list item, if so, performs step S206, no, execution step S208;

Step S206, according to the outgoing interface in the coupling list item finding, by this user's unicast data messageForward;

Wherein, in step S206, if the outgoing interface in the coupling list item finding is local interface,This user's unicast data message is sent by this local interface; If in the coupling list item findingOutgoing interface be NickName, according to this NickName, this user's unicast data message is packaged intoAfter TRILL unicast data message, send.

Step S208 searches and includes default MAC Address and this user's clean culture in mac address tableThe MAC address entries of the VLANID of data message;

Step S210, judges whether to have found and includes default MAC Address and this user's unicast dataThe MAC address entries of the VLANID of message, if so, performs step S212, otherwise, execution stepS214；

Step S212, according to the outgoing interface in this MAC address entries, by this user's unicast data message encapsulationAfter becoming TRILL unicast data message, be transmitted to core layer RB intracardiac in notebook data;

Owing to including the MAC of VLANID of default MAC Address and this user's unicast data messageOutgoing interface in list item is the NickName of core layer RB intracardiac in notebook data, therefore, and step S212In, can be by TRILL unicast data message repeating to core layer RB intracardiac in notebook data.

Step S214, abandons this user's unicast data message.

The method of the first Access Layer RB forwarding TRILL unicast data message is same as the prior art: receivingThe TRILL unicast data message of the NickName that is this equipment to Egress (going out) RBNickName itAfter, this TRILL unicast data message is carried out to decapsulation and obtain user's unicast data message, according to this userThe target MAC (Media Access Control) address of unicast data message and VLANID find coupling list item in mac address table,According to the outgoing interface in this coupling list item by this user's unicast data message repeating in local network.

As shown in Figure 7, the method for the first core layer RB forwarding TRILL unicast data message comprises following stepRapid:

Step S302, is receiving the TRILL that EgressRBNickName is the NickName of this equipmentAfter unicast data message, this TRILL unicast data message is carried out to decapsulation and obtain user's unicast data reportLiterary composition;

Step S304, according to target MAC (Media Access Control) address and the VLANID of this user's unicast data message,In mac address table, search coupling list item;

Step S306, according to the outgoing interface in the coupling list item finding, turns this user's unicast data messageSend out.

Concrete, in step S306, if the outgoing interface in the coupling list item finding is intracardiac in notebook dataThe NickName of Access Layer RB, according to this NickName, this user's unicast data message is packaged intoAfter TRILL unicast data message, send to this Access Layer RB; If the outgoing interface in the coupling list item finding isThe NickName of the second core layer RB in other data center, according to this NickName by this userUnicast data message sends the second core layer RB after being packaged into TRILL unicast data message; If findThe outgoing interface of joining in list item is local interface, this user's unicast data message is forwarded by this local interfaceIn local network.

Taking the TRILL network that comprises multiple data centers shown in Fig. 8 as example, describe above-mentioned enforcement in detailThe method of example. In Fig. 8, the Nickname of each RB is identical with its numbering, for example, and RB100Nickname be 0x0100; The MAC Address of terminal device 1～6 be respectively 0000-0000-0101,0000-0000-0102、0000-0000-0103、0000-0000-0104、0000-0000-0105、0000-0000-0106, affiliated VLAN is vlan1; Terminal device 1 and data in data center 1In center 2, terminal device 4 will communicate; RB100 and RB200 are configured to core layer RB, andRB101, RB102, RB103, RB201, RB202 and RB203 are Access Layer RB; Default MACRepresent with 0000-0000-0000.

In data center 1, RB101 is by the source to the user's unicast data message from local networkMAC Address is learnt, and the L1ESADI protocol massages that reception RB102 and RB103 send is gone forward side by sideRow MAC address learning, and receive the L1ESADI protocol massages sent of RB100 and carry out MACAddress learning, obtains mac address table as shown in table 3; RB100 is by intercepting RB101, RB102With RB103 send L1ESADI protocol massages and carry out MAC address learning, and receive RB200The L2ESADI protocol massages of sending also carries out MAC address learning, obtains MAC as shown in table 4Address table.
