Background technology
Fiber optical transceiver is a kind of equipment that the signal of telecommunication and light signal are changed mutually, is widely used in ethernet network.Fiber optical transceiver is divided according to transmission rate can be divided into 10M fiber optical transceiver, 100M fiber optical transceiver, 10/100M adaptive optic fiber transceiver, 1G fiber optical transceiver etc.; Can be divided into ordinary optic fibre transceiver and webmaster fiber optical transceiver according to the management type division.10M, 100M, the adaptive ordinary optic fibre transceiver of 10/100M are extensive use of on market at present, and fiber optical transceiver producer has the ability of exploitation, design, production mostly both at home and abroad.
The application of ordinary optic fibre transceiver in ethernet network as shown in Figure 1, little cuboid wherein is an ordinary optic fibre transceiver 1, connect by optical fiber 2 between adjacent two fiber optical transceivers 1, and be connected by UTP cable 3 between fiber optical transceiver 1 and its affiliated backbone layer, convergence layer or access layer equipment.
The inside theory diagram of ordinary optic fibre transceiver as shown in Figure 2, its principle is fairly simple, it mainly is the conversion that utilizes special-purpose transponder chip or chipset 12 to finish light/signal of telecommunication, wherein also comprise the integrated module of optical transceiver 11, isolating transformer 13 and RJ45 joint 14, do not comprise monitoring and control circuit, do not possess management function; Transmission is the two-way services data messages in its UTP cable 3 and the optical fiber 2, shown in the chain-dotted line among the figure, does not wherein transmit fiber optical transceiver self working state (being management information).Network management center can't be managed concentratedly this ordinary optic fibre transceiver by network, is unfavorable for fault location and malfunction elimination, network maintainable relatively poor.
For the manageability and the maintainability that improve fiber optical transceiver, part producer begins to release the webmaster fiber optical transceiver.In backbone layer and convergence-level, because fiber optical transceiver concentrates in the machine room basically, more in the fiber optical transceiver quantity in same place, the therefore general rack fiber optical transceiver 4 that uses helps centralized management.And at Access Layer, fiber optical transceiver relatively disperses, and generally uses free-standing fiber optical transceiver 5, and the network topology of this moment as shown in Figure 3.
Because free-standing fiber optical transceiver 5 too disperses, realize that separately the network management function cost is too high, and it is more for the resource occupation of network, so Network Management Function generally realizes in rack fiber optical transceiver 4 sides of concentrating relatively, promptly utilize unified network management unit that the rack fiber optical transceiver 4 that reaches tens of is managed.
The frame of rack fiber optical transceiver 4 is provided with network management unit, and use therein fiber optical transceiver is the webmaster fiber optical transceiver, and its theory diagram as shown in Figure 4.Compare with the ordinary optic fibre transceiver, the webmaster fiber optical transceiver also has the integrated module of optical transceiver 41, transponder chip (group) 42, isolating transformer 43 and RJ45 joint 44, but it has also increased monitoring module 45 and bus interface module 46 on the basis of ordinary optic fibre transceiver.
These two module functions are: monitoring module 45 is used to finish the monitoring to the fiber optical transceiver operating state, and controls the fiber optical transceiver operating state according to the requirement of network management unit; Bus interface module 46 is used for reporting the fiber optical transceiver state to network management unit, and receives the control information from network management unit.Transmission is the two-way services data messages in the UTP cable 3 of rack webmaster fiber optical transceiver and the optical fiber 2, shown in the chain-dotted line among 4 figure; And in the bus interface module 46, monitoring module 45 transmission be management data information, shown in the dotted line among Fig. 4.Network management center can be connected to network management unit by network, and fiber optical transceiver is managed concentratedly, has improved the maintainability of network.
For above-mentioned rack fiber optical transceiver, though can realize centralized management by network management unit, service data information wherein and management information are used independently passage fully, as shown in Figure 4, belong to the outband management mode.As can be seen from Figure 3, rack fiber optical transceiver 4 with have only a bidirectional optical fiber link being connected of free-standing fiber optical transceiver 5, an and optical fiber link transmit traffic data information does not transmit the management information of free-standing fiber optical transceiver.Therefore, the state of far-end stand alone type fiber optical transceiver 5 can't be reported the network management unit of rack fiber optical transceiver 4, and network management unit also can't be controlled far-end stand alone type fiber optical transceiver, promptly can't manage free-standing fiber optical transceiver.
Certainly,, can add network management unit therein for free-standing fiber optical transceiver is managed, by network management unit to the network management center report condition, accept control.But because free-standing fiber optical transceiver quantity is more, the geographical position disperses, and increases network management unit and can increase a large amount of hardware costs, can take a large amount of Internet resources simultaneously, as IP address, network management interface etc., therefore seldom uses in real network.
