步骤 30, 拓扑收集交换机从其邻居信息表提取出互联端口 (本地端口) 在指定 VLAN内的 MSTP状态为非阻塞端口的邻居交换机, 向其单播发送拓扑 请求报文, 报文中包含拓扑收集交换机的设备信息(如源 MAC地址, 设备 ID 等) , 跳数为 1, 上一跳为该拓扑收集交换机; 发送时根据发送端口在指定 VLAN内的 Tag情况决定报文是否进行 802. lq Tag标记; 发送后, 将目的邻 居交换机加入到待发现设备数据库中并为每个交换机启动一个定时器, 该定 时器超时则删除库中与其对应的交换机设备的相关信息;
步骤 40, 被发现交换机接收到拓扑请求报文后, 提取其中的跳数、 拓扑 收集交换机设备信息和上一跳设备信息, 在报文的接收 VLAN 内向拓扑收集 交换机回复拓扑响应报文, 报文中携带其邻居信息表、 与邻居设备互联端口 在指定 VLAN内的 MSTP状态、 发送设备及跳数等信息;
步骤 50, 拓扑收集交换机收到拓扑响应报文后, 提取出其中携带的所述 信息, 更新已发现设备数据库和待发现设备数据库, 如提取的跳数未达到指 定跳数, 再向提取的邻居设备表中不存在于已发现设备数据库中的交换机在 指定 VLAN 内发送拓扑请求报文, 携带新的跳数、 拓扑收集交换机设备信息 和上一跳设备信息, 在该交换机不存在于待发现设备数据库时还将其加入该 数据库, 并启动定时器;
步骤 60,判断待发现设备数据库是否为空,如果是,执行下一步,否则, 返回步骤 40;
步骤 70, 此次拓扑发现的信息收集过程结束, 记录从发起拓扑收集到收 集结束的时间, 即为此次拓扑收集的收敛时间。 拓扑收集交换机对已发现设 备数据库进行整理、 分析, 得到在指定 VLAN 内以拓扑收集交换机为根的树 状拓扑结构。 上述步骤 10是通过图 2中交换机发送和接收邻居发现报文的处理流程 来实现的, 包括以下步骤:
步骤 110, 网络中的交换机各自定时发送邻居发现报文;
该报文使用组播地址, 不进行任何的 802. lq标记, 定时向物理链路 Up 的端口进行发送, 并且不受多生成树协议(MSTP)端口阻塞的限制, 目的是 获得与设备直接相连的其它设备的相关信息。
步骤 120, 交换机接收到邻居设备发来的邻居发现报文后, 对该报文进 行校验和检查, 如能通过, 则继续执行下一步, 否则, 执行步骤 150;
步骤 130, 该交换机对该报文进行 MD5认证, 以此确立邻居设备的信任 关系, 如果认证通过, 执行下一步, 否则执行步骤 150;
步骤 140, 该交换机提取该报文中包含的相关邻居设备信息, 建立或更 新邻居设备信息表中的记录, 结束;
步骤 150, 直接丢弃报文, 结束。
由此, 各个交换机可以建立起相应的邻居设备信息表, 并完成邻居设备 信息表的状态更新和老化。 本发明邻居设备的发现并不局限于以上方法, 可 以采用现有的其它方法。
上述步骤 40是通过图 3中被发现交换机接收到拓扑请求报文后的处理 流程来实现的包括以下步骤:
步骤 310, 被发现交换机收到拓扑请求报文, 进行校验和检査; 步骤 320, 根据报文中的 802. lq Tag情况和接收端口的 PVID (默认局 域网标识)确定该报文的 VLAN ID;
步骤 330, 提取该报文中的拓扑请求跳数、 拓扑收集交换机的设备信息 和上一跳设备信息;
步骤 340, 判断提取出的上一跳设备是否存在于邻居设备信息表中, 如 果是, 执行下一步, 否则丢弃该请求报文, 结束此次处理.; 步骤 350, 判断连接上一跳设备的端口在请求报文 VLAN的 MSTP状态是 否为阻塞端口, 如果是, 丢弃该请求报文, 否则执行下一步;
步骤 360,被发现交换机在拓扑请求报文的 VLAN内直接单播回复拓扑响 应报文, 发送时根据发送端口在该 VLAN 内的 Tag情况决定报文是否进行 802. lq Tag标记, 报文中携带其邻居设备信息表, 与邻居设备互联端口在指 定 VLAN内的 MSTP状态,跳数(即拓扑请求报文中的跳数)以及发送设备(即 该被发现交换机)信息, 结束。
上述步骤 50是通过图 4中交换机接收到拓扑响应报文后的处理流程来 实现的, 包括以下步骤:
步骤 410, 拓扑收集的交换机接收到被发现设备的拓扑响应报文; 步骤 420, 根据报文的 802. lq Tag情况和接收端口的 PVID确定该响应 报文的接收 VLAN ID;
步骤 430, 判断该报文的 VLAN ID和拓扑请求指定的 VLAN ID是否相同, 如果是, 执行下一步, 如果, 将该响应报文丢弃, 结束;
步骤 440, 提取该响应报文中的发送设备信息、 跳数、 邻居设备信息表 和邻居设备互联端口在 VLAN内的 MSTP状态;
步骤 450,判断该响应报文的发送设备是否存在于待发现设备数据库中, 如果是, 执行下一步, 否则, 将该响应报文丢弃, 结束对该报文的处理; 步骤 460, 将该响应报文中的发送设备从待发现设备数据库删除, 将该 发送设备信息及其相关的邻居设备信息表、 与邻居设备互联端口在 VLAN内 的 MSTP状态以及跳数等信息加入到已发现设备数据库中;
步骤 470, 判断提取的跳数是否已经达到了收集范围指定的跳数, 如果 是, 不进行后续任何操作, 结束对该响应报文的处理, 否则执行下一步; 步骤 480, 对于该报文的邻居设备表中的邻居交换机, 如果已存在于已 发现设备数据库中, 则不再向其发送拓扑请求报文, 如果不存在于已发现设 备数据库中且报文中该邻居设备互联端口在指定 VLAN内的 MSTP状态为非阻 塞端口, 则在指定 VLAN 内向该邻居设备单播发送拓扑请求报文, 报文包含 拓扑收集交换机设备信息, 跳数为响应报文中的跳数加 1, 上一跳的设备为 发送响应报文的设备, 发送报文时根据端口在 VLAN内的 Tag情况决定报文 是否进行 802. lq Tag标记;
步骤 490, 在待发现设备数据库搜索该邻居交换机, 如果找到则更新其 对应的定时器, 否则将其加入到待发现设备数据库中并为其启动一个定时 器, 完成对响应报文的处理, 如果启动的定时器超时, 则删除待发现设备数 据库中与其对应的设备的相关信息。 图 5给出了待发现交换机的以拓扑收集交换机为根的网络完整拓扑图, 图 6、 7给出了采用本发明方法在 VLAN 100和 VLAN 200内进行拓扑发现得 到的树状拓扑图。 可以看出, 由于配置的不同, 在这两个 VLAN内进行拓扑 发现会得到完全不相同的交换机拓扑图, 由此可见基于 VLAN的交换机拓扑 发现是十分必要和重要的。拓扑发现结果对于网络管理和网络优化具有重要 的指导作用, 使得交换机的集群管理有章可循。
工业实用性
本发明方法可用于得到在指定 VLAN内以拓扑收集交换机为根的树状拓 扑机构, 以便于其定位网络故障、 网络管理和网络优化。
