Here, the switch includes an access layer switch or a leaf switch (leaf switch). The access layer switch or the leaf switch enables an LLDP protocol, and the fact that the network card of the cloud host in the open state can receive the LLDP information is guaranteed. LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol, ieee802.1ab) is a proximity Discovery Protocol. It defines a standard method for ethernet network devices (e.g., switches, routers, and wireless lan access points) to advertise their presence to other nodes in the network and to maintain discovery information for each neighboring device. Detailed information such as device configuration and device identification may be advertised using the protocol. In particular, LLDP defines a general advertisement information set, a protocol for transmitting advertisements and a method for storing received advertisement information. The device to advertise itself can transmit multiple pieces of advertisement information in a local area network packet, where the transmission is in the form of Type Length Value (TLV) field. The server can determine the port of the switch connected with the server through the LLDP after the LLDP is installed on the server, and the switch can also confirm the server connected with the port through the LLDP, and can quickly locate the connection relation between the server and the switch when the connection of the server and the switch is complex.
Step S105, acquiring the cached LLDP advertisement information set by using the LLDPTOOL of the cloud host to obtain LLDP information required for constructing the topology, and storing the required LLDP information in the database.
The LLDP information includes various information according to the transmission requirement, and in order to construct the topology, the LLDP information required for constructing the topology needs to be acquired from the LLDP information.
Step S107, outputting the required LLDP information to the monitoring equipment of the cloud network where the cloud host is located, so that the monitoring equipment combines the physical network card information to form access layer physical link topology information.
The physical network card information is obtained by the monitoring equipment from each cloud host.
And outputting required LLDP information to monitoring equipment of a cloud network where the cloud host is located through an LLDP API module of the cloud host, so that the monitoring equipment combines physical network card information to form access layer physical link topology information. The monitoring device can adopt a Web UI plug-in to draw a topological graph of the access layer physical link based on the access layer physical link topological information for displaying.
The beneficial effects of the embodiment of the invention are that the LLDP waiting service is used for acquiring the LLDP announcement information set announced by the switch, obtaining the LLDP information required by topology construction, and outputting the required LLDP information to the monitoring equipment, thereby providing information for constructing topology information of the physical equipment of the complete access layer of the cloud network.

Further, in an optional embodiment, before step S105, the method further includes:
the lldptol service is configured such that the lldptol service and the LLDPAD SERVICE service communicate over the internal UNIX SOCKET of the cloud host.
