The type of extension bridge middle port includes:ECP Extended Capabilities Port(Extended Port), cascade port(Cascade Port) And uplink port(Upstream Port).In Fig. 1, equivalent to one virtual switch of control bridge 1, in the virtual switch On be provided with and all outside bridge port expanders in the one-to-one virtual port of all ECP Extended Capabilities Ports(For example, extension end Mouth a, b, c, d, e and f have corresponding virtual port a, b, c, d, e and f in control bridge 1);In actual use, it is possible to will ECP Extended Capabilities Port is divided into multiple different multicast groups(For example, ECP Extended Capabilities Port a, b, e and f belong to the first multicast group, ECP Extended Capabilities Port c Belong to the second multicast group with d), in control bridge 1 can store the ECP Extended Capabilities Port belongs to specific multicast domain(That is in a multicast group All ECP Extended Capabilities Ports form a multicast domain)Information, then these information just constitute multicast domain configuration information.
In Fig. 1, control bridge 1 is connected with the first outside bridge port expander 21 and the 3rd outside bridge port expander 23, Wherein the first outside bridge port expander 21 also level is associated with the second outside bridge port expander 22.
The embodiment of the present invention one provides a kind of method of the transmission multicast domain configuration information for control bridge, such as Fig. 2 institutes Show, comprise the following steps:
Step 201:Obtain the configuration information of the multicast domain in extension bridge;
Step 202:The configuration information of the multicast domain is sent to outside bridge port expander.
Preferably, the configuration information of the multicast domain, including:What multicast domain and multicast domain in the extension bridge were included ECP Extended Capabilities Port.
The configuration information of multicast domain is sent to outside bridge port expander by control bridge 1, so as to outside bridge port expander Just learn which multicast domain ECP Extended Capabilities Port thereon is belonging respectively to.When outside bridge port expander is received transmitted by control bridge During multicast message, the multicast domain described in the multicast message is obtained, it becomes possible to know which ECP Extended Capabilities Port thereon belongs to the multicast The outside bridge port expander that domain or which cascade port are cascaded includes the ECP Extended Capabilities Port for belonging to the multicast domain(For example, In Fig. 1, the second outside bridge port expander 22 that cascade port 211 is cascaded includes ECP Extended Capabilities Port a and b;This it is possible to Promising multi-stage cascade, for example, the second outside bridge port expander 22 can also cascade at least one outside bridge port expander), Then pass through these ports(Including ECP Extended Capabilities Port and cascade port)By the multicast message to transferring, so as to be achieved that transmission is more Report the purpose of text;Or can know which ECP Extended Capabilities Port thereon is not belonging to the multicast domain, so as to shield these ECP Extended Capabilities Ports, And pass through other ports(Including ECP Extended Capabilities Port and cascade port)By the multicast message to transferring, transmission can also be achieved that The purpose of multicast message
Preferably, the configuration information for obtaining the multicast domain in extension bridge, including:Obtain in extension bridge and extend end with first Mouth is not at the first set that all ECP Extended Capabilities Ports of same multicast domain are formed;The configuration information by the multicast domain is sent out Outside bridge port expander is given, including:First ECP Extended Capabilities Port and first set are sent to the institute in the extension bridge There is outside bridge port expander.Here, the first ECP Extended Capabilities Port can be any ECP Extended Capabilities Port in the extension bridge.So as to when outer When portion's bridge port expander receives the multicast message transmitted by control bridge, the multicast domain belonging to the multicast message is obtained, with regard to energy Enough know which ECP Extended Capabilities Port thereon is not belonging to the multicast domain, then shield these ECP Extended Capabilities Ports, and pass through other ports(Including ECP Extended Capabilities Port and cascade port)By the multicast message to transferring, so as to be achieved that the purpose for sending multicast message.Here, 802.1 Br TLV can be used(Type, Length, Value)Agreement is not at all extensions of same multicast domain to send Port, as shown in figure 5, subtype SubType is set into the length that 1, Length is all fields behind, Port Isolate Session ID are used to assign an ID to session, behind E-CID1, E-CID2 ..., E-CIDN be not at it is same Multicast domain, E-CID is E-Channel Identifier here.
Preferably, the configuration information for obtaining the multicast domain in extension bridge, including:Obtain expanding with second in extension bridge Exhibition port is in the second set that all ECP Extended Capabilities Ports of same multicast domain are formed;The configuration information by the multicast domain Outside bridge port expander is sent to, including:Second ECP Extended Capabilities Port and second set are sent in the extension bridge All outside bridge port expanders.
So, when outside bridge port expander receives the multicast message transmitted by control bridge, the multicast message is obtained Described multicast domain, it becomes possible to which which ECP Extended Capabilities Port for knowing thereon belongs to the multicast domain or which cascade port cascaded Outside bridge port expander includes the ECP Extended Capabilities Port for belonging to the multicast domain, then passes through these ports(Including ECP Extended Capabilities Port and level Join port)By the multicast message to transferring, so as to be achieved that the purpose for sending multicast message.
The embodiment of the present invention additionally provides a kind of device of the transmission multicast domain configuration information for control bridge, including following Module:Configuration information acquisition module, the configuration information of the multicast domain in bridge is extended for obtaining;Configuration information sending module, use In the configuration information of the multicast domain is sent into outside bridge port expander.
The embodiment of the present invention two provides a kind of method of the retransmitting multi-casting message for control bridge, as shown in figure 3, including Following steps:
Step 301:Receive the multicast message that the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port is submitted;For example, in Fig. 1, when ECP Extended Capabilities Port f is connected Terminal to its belonging to the first multicast group in when sending a multicast message, the 3rd outside bridge port expander 23 can will be connect The multicast message received submits to control bridge 1, and control bridge 1 can receive multicast message from virtual port f, that is, receive extension end The multicast message that mouth f is submitted.
Step 302:Multicast message is sent to the outside bridge port expander being directly connected to control bridge.
Here, control bridge 1 is when receiving a multicast message, it is thus only necessary to is sent to multicast message and the control bridge The 1 outside bridge port expander being directly connected to, generally outside bridge port expander all includes or level is associated with some ECP Extended Capabilities Ports, such as Shown in Fig. 1, control bridge 1 needs only to the multicast message that ECP Extended Capabilities Port f is submitted being sent to the first outside bridge port expander 21 and the 3rd bridge port expander 23, i.e., only it need to send two parts, rather than three parts;, can be very big accordingly, with respect to prior art Reduction control bridge 1 and outside bridge port expander between the data volume to be transmitted, reduce both between link burden.
Preferably, the method for the retransmitting multi-casting message, it is further comprising the steps of:It is determined that any void in this control bridge Intend port and belong to same multicast domain with the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port, then pass through the virtual port retransmitting multi-casting message.
In practice, the virtual port in control bridge is also possible to that a terminal can be directly connected to, if the virtual terminal Mouth belongs to same multicast domain with the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port, then the multicast message should be also sent to the virtual port.
Preferably, it is described that multicast message is sent to the outside bridge port expander being directly connected to control bridge, including:Obtain Take the 3rd set that all ECP Extended Capabilities Ports being in extension bridge with the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port in same multicast domain are formed;
It is provided with any outside bridge port expander for confirming to be directly connected to the control bridge or level is associated with the 3rd set In any ECP Extended Capabilities Port when, by the E-CID of the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port(E-Channel Identifier)In embedded multicast message, and Multicast message is sent to the outside bridge port expander.
Here, if an outside bridge port expander is not provided with and does not also have level to be associated with and the 3rd extension end It is when mouth is in the ECP Extended Capabilities Port of same multicast domain, then obvious just It is not necessary to give the more reports of outside bridge port expander transmission Text, so as to which can saves the bandwidth between control bridge and outside bridge port expander.Here, it is necessary to inform that outside bridge port expands It is as transmitted by the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port, for example, can be embedding by the E-CID of the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port that exhibition device, which can obtain multicast message, Enter multicast message.
The embodiments of the invention provide a kind of device of the retransmitting multi-casting message for control bridge, including with lower module:The One message receiving module, the multicast message submitted for receiving the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port;First message sending module, for inciting somebody to action Multicast message is sent to the outside bridge port expander being directly connected to control bridge.
The embodiment of the present invention three provides a kind of outside bridge port expander of being used for based on embodiment two and issues multicast The method of message, as shown in figure 4, comprising the following steps:
Step 401:Receive multicast message;
Step 402:It is determined that any ECP Extended Capabilities Port in this outside port expander(Extended Port)With the 3rd extension end When mouth is in same multicast domain, multicast message is issued by the ECP Extended Capabilities Port;Here, because outside port expander has carried The configuration information of the preceding multicast domain that have received from control bridge 1 in the extension bridge, and include E-CID in multicast message, because This, it can be determined which ECP Extended Capabilities Port gone out thereon belongs to same multicast domain with the ECP Extended Capabilities Port corresponding to the E-CID.Such as: (1)Outside port expander knows all expansions that same multicast domain is not at the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port in extension bridge in advance Port is opened up, can necessarily be informed in all expansions for being not at same multicast domain in this outside port expander with the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port Port is opened up, when issuing, avoids these ECP Extended Capabilities Ports;(2)Outside port expander knows extension bridge in advance In all ECP Extended Capabilities Ports that same multicast domain is in the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port, can necessarily be informed in this outside port expander In all ECP Extended Capabilities Ports of same multicast domain are in the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port, then only issue multicast message by these ECP Extended Capabilities Ports .
Step 403:Pass through the cascade port in the bridge port expander of this outside(Cascade Port)Issue multicast message.
Here it is possible to understand, if there is no ECP Extended Capabilities Port in the bridge port expander of this outside, not operating procedure 402, if not cascading port, not operating procedure 403.
In the Br agreements of IEEE 802.1, some outside bridge port expanders in an extension bridge are a layering knots Structure, in outside bridge port expander, terminal can be directly connected to by ECP Extended Capabilities Port, is cascaded by cascading port outside next layer Portion's bridge port expander and bridge port expander outside last layer is connected to by uplink port.It is understood that outside bridge Port expander issue a process of multicast message it is to be understood that by uplink port receive last layer issued it is more Text is reported, if being provided with the ECP Extended Capabilities Port that same multicast domain is in the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port in the outside bridge port expander, Multicast message is then transmitted to by terminal by the ECP Extended Capabilities Port;If cascaded in the outside bridge port expander by cascading port Have next layer of outside bridge port expander, then next layer of outside bridge port expander be possible to be provided with the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port , then also should be by cascading port by multicast message to being issued to next layer of outside bridge port in the ECP Extended Capabilities Port of same multicast domain Expander.
For example, as shown in figure 1, port a, b, e and f belong to the first multicast group, when the multicast message transmitted by the f of port is controlled Bridge 1 processed is forwarded to after the first outside bridge port expander 21, and because ECP Extended Capabilities Port c is not belonging to the first multicast group, then shielding is expanded Open up port c;Next layer of the second outside bridge port expander 22 is handed down to by cascading port 211 by multicast message afterwards, by The first multicast group is belonged in ECP Extended Capabilities Port a and b, then multicast message is issued by ECP Extended Capabilities Port a and b, then terminal can just connect Receive multicast message.Accordingly, in the second outside bridge port expander 22, because ECP Extended Capabilities Port d is not belonging to the first multicast group, Then shield ECP Extended Capabilities Port d;And ECP Extended Capabilities Port e belongs to the first multicast group, then the multicast message is sent by ECP Extended Capabilities Port e, that is, reached To terminal;Preferably, due to ECP Extended Capabilities Port f and identical with the ECP Extended Capabilities Port that this sends the multicast message(An if for example, expansion The E-CID for opening up original ECP Extended Capabilities Ports of the PCID of port with sending multicast message is identical, then it represents that and the two ECP Extended Capabilities Ports are identical, Here E-CID is that E-Channel Identifier, PCID are Port E-CID), then can shield.
Preferably, the cascade port in the bridge port expander by this outside issues multicast message, including:Pass through this All cascade ports in outside bridge port expander issue multicast message.Here, because cascade port be possible to level be associated with 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port is in the ECP Extended Capabilities Port of same multicast domain, therefore, can issue multicast message by all cascade ports, so as to Ensure that multicast message can reach purpose terminal.
Preferably, the cascade port in the bridge port expander by this outside issues multicast message, including:It is determined that Any cascade port level in the bridge port expander of this outside is associated with the extension end that same multicast domain is in the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port During mouth, multicast message is issued by the cascade port.If it is understood that one in the bridge port expander of this outside Cascade port does not have level to be associated with the ECP Extended Capabilities Port for being in same multicast domain with the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port, then obviously It is not necessary to by being somebody's turn to do Cascade port issues multicast message.
The embodiment of the present invention additionally provides a kind of device for issuing multicast message for outside bridge port expander, including With lower module:Second message receiving module, for receiving multicast message;
Second message sending module, for it is determined that any ECP Extended Capabilities Port and the 3rd ECP Extended Capabilities Port in this outside port expander During in same multicast domain, multicast message is issued by the ECP Extended Capabilities Port;
3rd message sending module, for issuing multicast message by the cascade port in the bridge port expander of this outside.
