Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
As shown in fig. 1, the LLDP protocol testing method of the switch of the present invention includes the following steps:
s1: acquiring a test instruction;
s2: configuring parameter information of all switches to be tested;
s3: sending an LLDP protocol message containing parameter information according to the test item or acquiring the LLDP protocol message sent by the tested switch;

In step S3, the test items include a switch neighbor information display correctness test and a transmission LLDP protocol message correctness test. The test procedure for the two test items is described in detail below.
The test system for realizing the switch LLDP protocol test method comprises a test client and a plurality of tested switches connected with the test client, wherein a switch LLDP protocol test tool is arranged in the test client. The invention tests the LLDP protocol function through two test programs, but can be configured in the same visual control interface of the test tool.
The two test procedures were:
1. receiving an LLDP checking program: the method is used for testing the correctness of the switch neighbor information display. After a test PC terminal (PC for short) generates LLDP protocol messages carrying different types of TLVs through an automation program and sends the LLDP protocol messages to a tested switch from a network card, the PC checks the neighbor information of the tested switch through a serial port to display the correctness.
2. Sending an LLDP check program: the method is used for testing the correctness of the transmitted LLDP protocol message. And after the test PC terminal calls the serial port through an automatic program and configures the system information and functions of the tested switch, the PC network card captures the LLDP protocol message, analyzes the LLDP protocol message and verifies the correctness of the sent message, thereby ensuring that the neighbor information of the test PC terminal in the opposite terminal equipment is displayed correctly.
As shown in fig. 2, the test flow of the received LLDP check program in this example is as follows:
1. starting a visual testing tool on the PC, clicking a [ LLDP enable ] button as shown in figure 1, automatically calling a CRT (display) to enter a serial port configuration interface of a tested switch by the PC, and automatically inputting a LLDP starting command;
2. inputting TLV type information to be tested on a visual interface, clicking an [ RX test ] button, converting parameters input by the visual interface into 16-system data fields by an automatic program, and integrating the data fields into a legal LLDP protocol message to be sent to a tested exchange from a network card;
3. after the LLDP protocol message is confirmed to be sent out, the automatic program recalls the configuration of the serial port of the switch and automatically inputs and displays the neighbor information command;
4. the program acquires the neighbor information of the tested equipment and compares the neighbor information with the input parameters one by one, and the test is completed after all the comparison is finished;
5. and outputting the receiving test result to a result column.
The flow of the transmission LLDP check program in this example is as follows:
1. starting a visual automatic program on the PC, clicking a [ LLDP enable ] button, automatically calling the CRT to enter a serial port configuration interface of the tested switch by the PC, and automatically inputting a command for starting the LLDP function;
2. firstly, inputting the configuration required by the tested switch into a parameter column of an automatic control interface, and pointing to a [ TX test ] button, wherein the automatic program configures various parameters to the tested switch through a CRT (cathode ray tube) serial port;
3. after the configuration of the tested switch is completed, the PC network card starts to capture packets, acquires the LLDP protocol message sent by the tested device, and extracts all fields of the LLDP protocol message;
4. analyzing the extracted LLDP protocol message fields, wherein the data fields of the message are all 16-system, and automatically converting the required fields into character strings;
5. comparing the converted information fields with the previously input parameters one by one, and completing the test after all the comparison is finished;
6. and outputting the sending test result to a result column.
As can be seen from the above, the invention is operated automatically in the whole process, and all TLV types related to the LLDP protocol can be easily covered without connecting switches of various manufacturers for testing; the correctness of the display of the neighbor information of the switch and the correctness of the transmission of the LLDP protocol message can be tested without butting other equipment; the two devices do not need to be manually configured, so that the test time is saved, and the test efficiency is greatly improved.
The above-described embodiments are intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive, of the invention, and all changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
