Definitions
- the present invention relates to a redundant network system.
- Redundancy refers to securing extra network devices and network lines and waiting them as a backup system.
- switching to a standby backup system enables continuous operation without bringing down the network. Redundant network systems are widely used.
- Non-Patent Document 1 When network is made redundant in this way, availability can be improved, but redundancy needs to be performed appropriately. For example, when a loop is formed in the network due to redundancy and a broadcast frame is transmitted to this network, the broadcast frame continues to rotate around this loop, eventually using up the communication band and bringing down the network system. Such a phenomenon is called a broadcast storm. Conventionally, for example, a spanning tree protocol has been used in order to prevent such a phenomenon and to operate a redundant network correctly (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).
- Spanning tree is a function that is given to a switch that constitutes a network in order to prevent a broadcast frame from continuing around a loop, and this function is realized by a spanning tree protocol.
- spanning tree When spanning tree is enabled, even if there is a loop in the network configured by the switch, a port that actually does not accept communication (blocking port) is automatically set.
- a tree structure with vertices is formed.
- the sub-network can be made redundant by connecting to the backbone network at two locations.
- a spanning tree protocol can be applied as described above.
- both the backbone network and the subnetwork need to support the spanning tree protocol. Therefore, when the backbone network that has already been constructed does not support the spanning tree protocol, it is necessary to reconstruct the system so that not only the subnetwork but also the backbone network supports the spanning tree protocol when connecting the subnetwork. .
- the spanning tree protocol when the spanning tree protocol is applied, it takes time to analyze the connection structure of the network and the like, and it takes time to converge the spanning tree.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above, and in the case of configuring a network by connecting a device network, which is a sub-network, to a backbone network at two locations, simple control without applying a spanning tree protocol. It is an object of the present invention to provide a network system capable of avoiding formation of a loop communication path by processing and ensuring network redundancy.
- a network system is configured by combining a backbone network configured by combining a plurality of switch devices and a plurality of devices,
- a switch unit of a first device which is one of the plurality of devices, is provided with a switch unit and a connection control unit capable of performing communication by controlling connection of the switch unit.
- a connection control unit of the first device wherein the switch unit of the first device is communicably connected to the backbone network.
- a determination unit for determining whether or not the connection control unit of the second device is in a state in which the switch unit of the second device is disconnected from the backbone network at the time of activation with respect to direct communication with the backbone network Obtained by inquiring of the determination unit via the device network the determination information as to whether the initial setting unit for initial setting and the switch unit of the first device are communicably connected to the backbone network
- the connection control unit of the second device is configured so that the switch unit of the first device is based on the determination information acquired from the determination unit by the determination information acquisition unit. When connected to the network so that communication is possible, the switch unit of the second device is disconnected from the backbone network for direct communication with the backbone network. If the switch unit of the first device is not communicatively connected to the backbone network or cannot communicate with the first device, the switch unit of the second device is It is connected to the backbone network so that it can communicate directly.
- a network when a network is configured by connecting a device network to a backbone network at two locations, a network that avoids the formation of a loop communication path with a simple control process without applying a spanning tree protocol. There is an effect that it is possible to provide a network system capable of ensuring the redundancy.

That is, the switch unit of the device 11-1 is in a state of being communicably connected to the switch device 2-2 as long as no communication failure occurs in the network cable or the like after the (power supply) is started.
- the CPU (connection control unit) of the device 11-1 includes a determination unit 50 that determines whether or not the switch unit of the device 11-1 is communicably connected to the switch device 2-2 (FIG. 3 ( a)).
- the determination unit 50 monitors the link state between the switch unit of the device 11-1 and the switch device 2-2, and detects a link break between the switch unit of the device 11-1 and the switch device 2-2. In such a case, it is determined that the switch unit of the device 11-1 and the switch device 2-2 are not communicably connected.
- the determination unit 50 performs this determination process, for example, at a constant cycle.
- the device 11-4 is initialized so as to block direct communication with the backbone network 21 via the port P2 when the (power supply) is started. That is, the CPU (connection control unit) of the device 11-4 is in a state where the switch unit of the device 11-4 is disconnected from the switch device 2-2 for direct communication with the switch device 2-2 when the (power supply) is activated.

- the device 11-1 periodically transmits the determination information to the device 11-4 using the device network 22 without using the inquiry from the determination information acquisition unit 61, and uses the determination information as the determination information. You may make it the acquisition part 61 acquire.
- the CPU (connection control unit) of the device 11-4 refers to the determination information acquired from the determination unit 50 by the determination information acquisition unit 61 so that the switch unit of the device 11-1 can communicate with the switch device 2-2.

- the blocking and cancellation of communication by the port P2 of the device 11-4 can be easily realized by using, for example, a port VLAN (virtual VLAN). Specifically, the same VLAN number is set for the ports P1 and P3, and a VLAN number different from the ports P1 and P3 is set for the port P2. In this way, the ports P1 and P3 are set to a different group from the port P2.

Communication is blocked, and communication via the port P2 of the device 11-4 is blocked. Therefore, a loop-shaped communication path is not formed in the network despite the connection between the backbone network 21 and the device network 22 at two points. That is, a physical loop is formed by the connection between the backbone network 21 and the device network 22, but the communication path between the backbone network 21 and the device network 22 is the switch device 2-2 and the device 11-1. It is via a network cable that connects to and is actually connected at this one location.

- the determination result is stored as determination information.
- the device 11-4 is set to a state where communication with the switch device 2-1 via the port P2 is cut off at the time of activation.

As a result, no loop is formed in the network communication path, and all the devices 11-1 to 11-4 are connected to the backbone network 21 via the switch device 2-2.
- the device 11-4 acquires the determination information related to the link state with the switch device 2-2 from the device 11-1 after the activation, for example, at regular intervals.

Since a direct communication between the device 11-4 and the switch device 2-1 is started when a communication failure occurs between the devices or in the device network 22, a loop (ring) communication path can be formed with a simple control process. In addition to avoidance, network redundancy can be ensured.
