Description

Communication system, method and device

This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application filed on September 19, 2018 with the State Intellectual Property Office of China, with an application number of CN201811095768.6, and an invention name of "a communication system, method and device", the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference Incorporated in this application.

Technical field

The present application relates to the field of network communication, and in particular, to a communication system, method, and device.

Background technique

With the development of communication technology, cloud services are becoming more and more widely used. Cloud services can provide users with services such as automated deployment of network services, automated operation and maintenance, and so it is very important to ensure the normal operation of cloud services. In order to ensure the reliability of cloud services, servers that support cloud service management must have a disaster tolerance function, that is, when the primary server fails, services can be switched to the standby server in a timely manner.

Currently, servers that support cloud service management have southbound and northbound interfaces. In traditional technologies, the Internet protocol (IP) address of the southbound interface of the primary server is different from the IP address of the southbound interface of the standby server, and the IP address of the northbound interface of the primary server is different from the IP address of the northbound interface of the standby server. Therefore, after the failure of the primary server, the administrator needs to manually replace the southbound interface IP address of the primary server with the southbound interface IP address of the standby server in the network equipment accessing the southbound interface to achieve access to the standby server. . Similarly, the user needs to manually replace the northbound interface IP address of the primary server with the northbound interface IP address of the standby server through the user terminal accessing the northbound interface to implement access to the standby server.

It can be seen that in the process of switching from the primary server to the standby server, it is necessary to perform IP address replacement operations on the user terminal in the north direction and the network equipment in the south direction, which causes inconvenience to users and management personnel.

Each of the first server and the second server has a southbound interface and a northbound interface.

The first server is configured to obtain a first mapping relationship and send the first mapping relationship to a target device based on a border gateway protocol. The first mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between an IP address associated with the first server and a local IP address of the first server. The IP address associated with the first server includes: a preset southbound interface IP address and / or a preset northbound interface IP address. The preset southbound interface IP address and / or the preset northbound interface IP address include the following three cases: a separate preset southbound interface IP address, or a separate preset northbound interface IP address, or a preset southbound interface. Forwarding interface IP address and preset northbound interface IP address. The first mapping relationship may be used for the target device to access the first server.

The second server is configured to obtain the status of the first server and the second mapping relationship, and if the status is a fault status, send the second mapping relationship to the target device based on the border gateway protocol. The second mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between an IP address associated with the first server and a local IP address of the second server. The second mapping relationship may be used for the target device to access the second server.

Because the target device uses the same IP address, that is, the IP address associated with the first server to access the first server and the second server, there is no need for the user or manager to modify the IP address to access the first server to access the second server. Server switching. At the same time, since the IP addresses associated with the first server are sent to the target device as the first server and the second server, rather than the routing device of the first server and the routing device of the second server, there is no need to set priority on the routing device Level to control who publishes the IP address associated with the first server to the target device, but the second server itself obtains the status of the first server, and when the status is faulty, the target server is published to the target device.

detailed description

In the traditional technology, access to the primary server and the standby server requires different IP addresses for access. Therefore, when the primary server fails, the IP address of the primary server needs to be manually modified to the IP address of the standby server to achieve access to the standby server. Inconvenience to users and managers.

There is currently a technical solution that can solve the above technical problems. That is, both the first routing device connected to the primary server and the second routing device connected to the standby server store the IP address associated with the first server, that is, the preset southbound interface IP address and / or the preset IP address of the northbound interface. Priorities are configured in the first routing device and the second routing device in advance. When the primary server is operational, the priority configured by the primary server is a high priority, and the priority configured by the standby server is a low priority. When the first routing device is configured with a high priority, the first routing device sends an IP address associated with the first server to the target device. The target device may be a northbound user terminal and / or a southbound network device. Because the second routing device is configured with a low priority, the second routing device does not send the IP address associated with the first server to the target device. At this time, the target device can access the master through the IP address associated with the first server. server.

When the primary server fails, the priority of the second routing device needs to be changed from low priority to high priority, and the priority of the first routing device is changed from high priority to low priority, so that the second routing device can forward to The target device sends an IP address associated with the first server. In this way, the target device can access the standby server through the IP address associated with the first server.

During the process of switching between the active and standby servers, the target device uses the same IP address, that is, the IP address associated with the first server to access the active and standby servers, and does not require the user to modify the IP address, which effectively improves the user experience.

But it also introduces another problem. When the active and standby servers are switched, the administrators of the active and standby servers need to manually change the priority of the first routing device and the priority of the second routing device, which increases the workload of the management staff. .

In order to achieve convenience for users without adding extra workload to the administrators of the active and standby servers, the embodiments of the present application provide a communication system, method, and device, where the communication system includes a first server and a second server. The first server and the second server are connected.

The second server is configured to obtain the status of the first server and the second mapping relationship, and if the status is a fault status, send the second mapping relationship to the target device based on the border gateway protocol. The second mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between an IP address associated with the first server and a local IP address of the second server. The second mapping relationship is used for the target device to access the second server.

The technical solution of a communication system provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Refer to FIG. 1, which is a structural block diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present application.

The communication system provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a first server 101 and a second server 102.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first server 101 and the second server 102 may be servers for load balancing, or servers for other purposes, which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

The first server 101 and the second server 102 may be physical servers or virtual servers.

If the first server 101 is a physical server, the local IP address of the first server 101 is a physical IP address; if the first server 101 is a virtual server, the local IP address of the first server is a virtual IP address.

Similarly, if the second server 102 is a physical server, the local IP address of the second server 102 is a physical IP address; if the second server 102 is a virtual server, the local IP address of the second server 102 is a virtual IP address.

The number of the first servers 101 may be one or plural; the number of the second servers 102 may be one or plural.

The first server 101 and the second server 102 may be in the same autonomous system (AS), or may belong to different autonomous domains.

The first server 101 and the second server 102 each have a southbound interface and a northbound interface, where the southbound interface corresponds to a southbound network device, and the northbound interface corresponds to a northbound user terminal. The southbound network device may be, for example, a router, a wireless access point (AP), or a switch. The northbound user terminal may be, for example, a device such as a mobile phone, a computer, a notebook computer, or an IPAD.

For the same server, the IP address of the southbound interface and the IP address of the northbound interface can be the same or different. For different servers, the IP address of the southbound interface is the same, and the IP address of the northbound interface is the same, that is, the IP address of the southbound interface of the first server 101 and the IP address of the southbound interface of the second server 102 are preset south. IP address of the northbound interface; the IP address of the northbound interface of the first server 101 and the IP address of the northbound interface of the second server 102 are both preset northbound interface IP addresses.

The first server 101 is configured to obtain a first mapping relationship, and send the first mapping relationship to a target device based on a border gateway protocol (BGP).

The first mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between an Internet protocol IP address associated with the first server and a local IP address of the first server 101. The IP address associated with the first server 101 includes a preset southbound interface IP address and / Or preset northbound interface IP address. The first mapping relationship is used for the target device to access the first server 101.

The second server 102 is configured to obtain a status of the first server 101 and a second mapping relationship. If the status is a fault status, the second server 102 sends a second mapping relationship to the target device based on the border gateway protocol.

The second mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between an IP address associated with the first server 101 and a local IP address of the second server 102. The second mapping relationship is used for the target device to access the second server 102.

In practical applications, the IP addresses associated with the first server 101 may be stored in the first server 101 and the second server 102 through a configuration method in advance, or may be stored in a certain way by the first server 101 and the second server. The network devices connected to the server 102 are uniformly distributed to the first server 101 and the second server 102 so as to form a first mapping relationship or a second mapping relationship.

The first server 101 sends a first mapping relationship to the target device based on the border gateway protocol. If the target device and the first server 101 are in the same autonomous domain, they are sent based on the internal border gateway protocol (IBGP); if the target device and the first server 101 are not in the same autonomous domain, they are based on the external border Gateway protocol (external border gateway protocol, EBGP) sending.

Similarly, the second server 102 sends a second mapping relationship to the target device based on the border gateway protocol. If the target device and the second server 102 are located in the same autonomous domain, then send based on IBGP; if the target device and the second server 102 are not in the same autonomous domain, then send based on EBGP.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target device includes a southbound network device and / or a northbound user terminal. As mentioned above, the southbound network equipment may include routing equipment, such as routers, switches, and so on.

If the target device includes a routing device, in the embodiment of the present application, the first server 101 sending the first mapping relationship to the target device based on the border gateway protocol may be specifically: the first server 101 sends the first route to the routing device based on the border gateway protocol. An entry generation instruction. The first routing entry generation instruction carries a first mapping relationship. The first routing entry generation instruction is used to instruct a routing device to generate a first routing entry and a purpose of the first routing entry according to the first mapping relationship. The address is the IP address associated with the first server 101, and the next hop address of the first routing entry is the local IP address of the first server.

Therefore, the routing device may look up the first routing entry according to the IP address associated with the first server 101 carried in the received message, and determine the next hop address corresponding to the IP address associated with the first server, that is, the first A server 101 has a local IP address, and then sends a message to the first server 101. In order to enable the routing device to generate a first routing entry according to the first mapping relationship. Optionally, the first server 101 may send a first routing table entry generation instruction to the routing device, where the instruction carries a first mapping relationship. After receiving the first routing table entry generation instruction, the routing device generates a first routing table entry according to the first mapping relationship carried therein.

Similarly, if the target device includes a routing device, in the embodiment of the present application, the second server 102 sending the second mapping relationship to the target device based on the border gateway protocol may be specifically: the second server 102 sends the second mapping relationship to the routing device based on the border gateway protocol. A second routing table entry generation instruction, the second routing table entry generation instruction carries a second mapping relationship, and the second routing table entry generation instruction is used to instruct a routing device to generate a second routing table entry according to the second mapping relationship, and the second routing table The destination address of the entry is the IP address associated with the first server 101, and the next hop address of the first routing table entry is the local IP address of the second server 102.

Therefore, the routing device may look up the second routing table entry according to the IP address associated with the second server 102 carried in the received message, and determine the next hop address corresponding to the IP address associated with the first server 101, that is, The local IP address of the first server 101 then sends a message to the second server 102. In order to enable the routing device to generate a second routing entry according to the second mapping relationship. Optionally, the second server 102 may send a second routing table entry generation instruction to the routing device, where the instruction carries a second mapping relationship. After receiving the second routing table entry generation instruction, the routing device generates a second routing table entry according to the second mapping relationship carried therein.

If the target device is a non-routing device, such as a user terminal, the first server 101 and the second server 102 may be connected to the target device through the routing device. The interaction between the first server 101 and the second server and the routing device is as described above. I won't repeat them here. It should be noted that, in order to enable the user terminal to access the routing device, the IP address of the routing device may be stored in the user terminal in advance, so as to initiate access to the server corresponding to the IP address of the first server 101 according to the IP address of the routing device. Request.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to automatically switch the target device from accessing the first server 101 to accessing the second server 102, the second server 102 obtains the status of the first server 101, and if the status of the first server 101 is a fault status , The second mapping relationship is sent to the target device, so that the target device accesses the second server 102 according to the second mapping relationship.

Specifically, the second server 102 may include a second identity setting module and a second mapping relationship sending module.

The second identifier setting module is configured to set the master and backup identifiers of the second server 102 according to the status of the first server 101. If the state of the first server 101 is the working state, the second identifier setting module sets the master and backup identifiers of the second server 101 to the identifier corresponding to the standby server, for example, 0. If the state of the first server 101 is a fault state, the second identifier setting module sets the primary and secondary identifiers of the second server 102 to an identifier corresponding to the primary server, for example, 1.

The second mapping relationship sending module does not send the second mapping relationship to the target device when it detects that the primary and secondary identifications of the second server 102 are identifications corresponding to the standby server. When the primary and secondary identifications of the second server 102 are detected as the identifications corresponding to the primary server, the second mapping relationship is sent to the target device.

It should be noted that the second mapping relationship is not sent to the target device here, and the purpose is to prevent the target device from accessing the second server 102 according to the second mapping relationship. As before, if the second server 102 controls the target device to access the second server 102 by sending a second routing table entry generation instruction to the target device, not sending the second mapping relationship to the target device means not sending it to the target device. The second routing table entry generation instruction.

Similarly, the second mapping relationship is sent to the target device, so that the target device can access the second server 102 according to the second mapping relationship. As described above, if the second server 102 controls the target device to access the second server 102 by sending a second routing table entry generation instruction to the target device, sending the second mapping relationship to the target device means sending the second device to the target device. Routing table entry generation instruction.

Optionally, if the second mapping relationship sending module has ever sent a second routing table entry generation instruction to the target device, when the second mapping relationship sending module detects that the primary and backup identifiers stored in the second identity setting module are standby servers At the corresponding identification, a second delete instruction may be sent to the target device, where the second delete instruction carries a second mapping relationship, and the second delete instruction is used by the target device to delete the second routing table entry in the target device.

Accordingly, the first server 101 may include a first identity setting module and a first mapping relationship sending module.

The first identifier setting module is configured to set the master and backup identifiers according to the status of the first server 101. If the state of the first server 101 is the working state, the first identifier setting module sets the master and backup identifiers of the first server 101 to identifiers corresponding to the master server, for example, 1. If the state of the first server 101 is a fault state, the first identifier setting module sets the primary and secondary identifiers of the first server 101 to an identifier corresponding to the secondary server, for example, 0.

The first mapping relationship sending module sends the first mapping relationship to the target device when it detects that the identifier stored in the first identity setting module is the identity corresponding to the master server; and detects the master stored in the first identity setting module. When the standby identifier is an identifier corresponding to the standby server, the first mapping relationship is not sent to the target device.

It should be noted that the purpose of sending the first mapping relationship to the target device is to allow the target device to access the first server 101 according to the first mapping relationship. As described above, if the first server 101 controls the target device to access the first server 101 by sending a first routing table entry generation instruction to the target device, then sending the first mapping relationship to the target device means sending the first device to the target device. Routing table entry generation instruction.

Similarly, the first mapping relationship is not sent to the target device, and the purpose is to prevent the target device from accessing the first server 101 according to the first mapping relationship. As mentioned above, if the first server 101 controls the target device to access the first server 101 by sending a first routing table entry generation instruction to the target device, then not sending the first mapping relationship to the target device means not sending the target device The first routing table entry generation instruction.

Optionally, if the first mapping relationship sending module has sent the first routing table entry generation instruction to the target device, when the first mapping relationship sending module detects that the primary and backup identifiers stored in the first identity setting module are the standby server At the corresponding identification, a first delete instruction may be sent to the target device, where the first delete instruction carries a first mapping relationship, and the first delete instruction is used by the target device to delete the first routing entry in the target device.

In order to be able to obtain the status of the first server 101 in time, the second server 102 serving as the standby server may receive the primary server, that is, the heartbeat message periodically sent by the first server 101. If a heartbeat message sent by the server 101, the first server 101 is considered to be faulty.

In addition, when the first server 101 is used as the primary server, the first server 101 needs to synchronize service data to the standby server, that is, the second server 102. When the second server 102 is upgraded from the standby server to the primary server, the second server 102 needs to synchronize the business data to the first server 101 where the fault is recovered to ensure the reliability of the data.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target device may use the same IP address, that is, the IP address associated with the first server to access the first server 101 and the second server 102, so the user does not need to modify the IP address to access the first server from the first server. Switch from server 101 to access second server 102. At the same time, since the first mapping relationship is stored by the first server 101 instead of the routing device of the first server 101, and the second mapping relationship is stored by the second server 102 instead of the routing device of the second server 102, it is not necessary The priority is set on the routing device to control who publishes the IP address associated with the first server to the target device. Instead, the second server 102 obtains the status of the first server 101 by itself. When the status is faulty, the first The two servers 102 publish the IP address associated with the first server to the target device, so that the target device automatically switches from accessing the first server 101 to accessing the second server 102 according to the IP address associated with the first server, reducing management staff Workload.

The following uses an application scenario as an example to further introduce the communication system in the foregoing embodiment.

The agile controller-campus (ACC) is a scene management and control system for cloud campus solutions. It supports network business management, network security management, user access management, network monitoring, network quality analysis, and network applications. Analysis, alerting and reporting services.

Multiple medium and large networks are centrally managed by the cloud management platform, which has higher requirements for the reliability of cloud park products. In addition to data backup and recovery, it also requires the provision of offsite disaster recovery functions. The primary and secondary servers are deployed in different regions. When the cloud platform of the primary server fails due to scenarios such as earthquakes, fires, or fiber digging, the sustainability of management services needs to be ensured, that is, it can be switched to a different region from the primary server Standby servers continue to provide business capabilities.

Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides a communication system. Referring to FIG. 2, the system 10 includes a server cluster 20, a server cluster 30, and a routing device 40. The server cluster 20, the server cluster 30, and the routing device 40 are connected to each other.

The routing device 40 is connected to a northbound user terminal or a southbound network device.

The server cluster 20 and the server cluster 30 may belong to different autonomous domains. For example, the server cluster 20 belongs to AS100 and the server cluster 30 belongs to AS200.

The server cluster 20 includes a server 201, a server 202, and a routing device 203. The server 201, the server 202, and the routing device 203 are connected to each other.

The server cluster 30 includes a server 301, a server 302, and a routing device 303. The server 301, the server 302, and the routing device 303 are mutually connected.

Among them, the server cluster 20 is a master server cluster, and the server cluster 30 is a standby server cluster. In the server cluster 20, the server 201 is the master server, and the server 202 is the standby server. In the server cluster 30, the server 301 is the master server, and the server 302 is the standby server.

The server cluster 20 and the server cluster 30 may be located in different regions. For example, the server cluster 20 is located in Beijing and the server cluster 30 is located in Shanghai. Within a server cluster, each server can also be deployed in a different location. For example, server 201 in server cluster 20 is located in Haidian District, and server 202 is located in Chaoyang District.

The server 201, the server 202, the server 301, and the server 302 are all load balancing servers, that is, they perform a load balancing function. They can be physical servers or virtual servers.

Each of the above four servers can have a southbound interface and a northbound interface, respectively. The IP address of the southbound interface and the IP address of the northbound interface can be the same or different. For example, the IP address of the southbound interface is 100.100.10.100/32, and the IP address of the northbound interface is 100.100.10.101/32.

In the embodiment of the present application, both automatic switching between the server cluster 20 and the server cluster 30, and automatic switching between the server 201 and the server 202 inside the server cluster 20, and between the internal server 301 and the server 302 of the server cluster 30 Between automatic switching. Each will be described in detail below.

For the automatic switching between the server 201 and the server 202 in the server cluster 20, the following steps may be included:

1. First configure the southbound interface IP address and northbound interface IP address of the server 201, and the southbound interface IP address and northbound interface IP address of the server 202.

The IP address of the southbound interface of the server 201 and the IP address of the southbound interface of the server 202 are the same, for example, both are 100.100.10.100/32. The northbound interface IP address of the server 201 and the northbound interface IP address of the server 202 are the same, for example, both are 100.100.10.101/32. The mask can be set to 32 bits.

2. Configure the disaster tolerance processing service in the server 201 and the server 202.

For example, the disaster recovery processing service may include a disaster recovery management service (drService) and a disaster recovery data synchronization service (repService). Among them, drService is responsible for disaster recovery operation management such as heartbeat keep-alive and active / standby backup of the disaster recovery master or backup server or cluster, and repService is responsible for disaster recovery database, primary and backup copy tasks of files, etc.

Specifically, when the state of the server 201 is a working state, the drService of the server 201 sets its master and backup identifiers to identifiers corresponding to the master server. Correspondingly, at this time, the server 202 can receive the heartbeat message sent by the server 201, so the drService of the server 202 sets its primary and secondary identifiers to the identifier corresponding to the secondary server.

When the state of the server 201 is a fault state, the drService of the server 201 sets its primary and secondary identifiers to the identifier corresponding to the secondary server. At this time, if the server 202 cannot receive the heartbeat message sent by the server 201 within a preset period of time, the drService of the server 202 sets its master and backup identifiers to the identifiers corresponding to the master server.

In addition, when the server 201 serves as the main server, the repService of the server 201 is responsible for synchronizing its business data and files to the server 202. When the server 202 serves as the main server, the repService of the server 202 is responsible for synchronizing its business data and files to the server 201.

3. Configure a border gateway protocol service (BGP Service) in the server 201 and the server 202.

The server 201 and the server 202 can achieve the purpose of publishing routing information by calling BGP Service. Specifically, first, a BGP peer is created by calling a BGP service. The peers of the server 201 and the server 202 are devices that are neighbors to each other. For example, the routing device 203 may be both a peer of the server 201 and a peer of the server 202. The server 201 may send the southbound interface IP address and / or the northbound interface IP address with the server 201 to the routing device 203, and the server 202 may send the southbound interface IP address and / or the northbound interface IP address with the server 202 to the routing device. 203.

Since the server 201, the server 202, and the routing device 203 belong to the same autonomous domain, the BGP in the BGP service can be specifically IBGP. If the routing device 203 is located outside the AS 100, the BGP in the BGP service can be specifically EBGP.

When the server 201 is in a working state, the server 201 can call its own IBGP service to send the mapping relationship between the IP address associated with the server 201 and the local IP address of the server 201 to the routing device 203, and the routing device 203 according to the mapping Relationship establishment routing table entry L1. The IP address associated with the server 201 is a southbound interface IP address and / or a northbound interface IP address of the server 201. The destination address in the routing entry L1 is the IP address associated with the server 201, and the next hop address is the local IP address of the server 201. The local IP address of the server 201 is different from the IP address associated with the server 201, and the local address of the server 201 is, for example, 100.10.1.0/24.

The routing device 203 may further upload the mapping relationship between the IP address associated with the server 201 and the local IP address of the routing device 203 to the routing device 40 to establish a routing entry L2 in the routing device 40. The destination address of L2 is the IP address associated with the server 201, and the next hop address is the local address of the routing device 203.

The server 202 can call its own IBGP Service to cancel the sending action. The sending action is the action of sending the mapping relationship between the IP address associated with the server 201 and the local IP address of the server 202 to the routing device 203, in order not to let The routing device 203 establishes a routing entry L3 according to the mapping relationship.

Optionally, if the routing device 203 has previously established the routing entry L3 according to the mapping relationship between the IP address associated with the server 201 and the local IP address of the server 202, the server 202 may call its own IBGP service to send a delete instruction M1 To delete the routing table entry L3 stored in the routing device 203.

In this way, when the routing device 40 receives the message, it determines the next hop address from the routing entry L2 according to the IP address associated with the server 201 carried in the message, that is, the local IP address of the routing device 203, and The message is forwarded to the routing device 203. After receiving the message, the routing device 203 determines the next hop address from the routing entry L1 according to the IP address associated with the server 201 in the message, that is, the local IP address of the server 201, and then forwards the message. To server 201.

When the server 201 is in a fault state, the server 202 can call its own IBGP service to send the mapping relationship between the IP address associated with the server 201 and the local IP address of the server 202 to the routing device 203, and the routing device 203 according to the mapping Relationship establishment routing entry L3. The local IP address of the server 202 is different from the IP address associated with the server 201, and the local address of the server 202 is, for example, 100.10.1.1/24.

Since the server 201 is downgraded from the primary server to the standby server at this time, it calls its own IBGP service to cancel the sending action. The sending action is to send the mapping relationship between the IP address associated with the server 201 and the local IP address of the server 201. For the action of the routing device 203, the purpose of cancellation is to prevent the routing device 203 from establishing a routing table entry L1 according to the mapping relationship.

Optionally, since the routing device 203 has previously established the routing entry L1 according to the mapping relationship between the IP address associated with the server 201 and the local IP address of the server 202, the server 201 can call its own IBGP service to send a delete instruction M2 To delete the routing table entry L1 stored in the routing device 203.

In this way, when the routing device 40 receives the message, it determines the next hop address from the routing entry L2 according to the IP address associated with the server 201 carried in the message, that is, the local address of the routing device 203, and The message is forwarded to the routing device 203. After receiving the message, the routing device 203 determines the next hop address from the routing entry L3 according to the IP address associated with the server 201 in the message, that is, the local IP address of the server 202, and then forwards the message. To server 202.

Since the process of switching between the active and standby servers in the entire server cluster 20 is realized automatically, it is not necessary for the user to modify the IP address, and it does not need to increase the workload of the administrator to additionally modify the priority, so it is more convenient.

When both the server 201 and the server 202 in the server cluster 20 fail, the server cluster 30 needs to be started.

Specifically, the master server in the server cluster 20 may call drService to periodically send a heartbeat message to the server (for example, the server 301) of the server cluster 30. If the server of the server cluster 30 does not receive the heartbeat report within a preset time period Text, it is considered that the server cluster 20 has failed. At this time, the servers of the server cluster 30, for example, the server 301 calls drService to change its own standby server ID to the primary server ID, and calls BGP Service to send the routing device 303 the IP address associated with the server 201 and the server 301 in the server 301 Mapping relationship between local IP addresses in order to establish routing entry L4 in routing device 303, the destination address of routing entry L4 is the IP address associated with server 201, and the next hop address is the local IP of server 301 address. The local IP address of the server 301 is different from the IP address associated with the server 201. For example, the local address of the server 301 is 100.10.2.0/24.

Further, the routing device 303 sends the IP address associated with the server 201 and the local IP address of the routing device 303 to the routing device 40, so that the routing device 40 can establish a routing entry L5, and the destination address of the routing entry L5 is for the server The IP address associated with 201, and the next hop address is the local IP address of the routing device 303.

The southbound interface IP address of the server in server cluster 20 is the same as the southbound interface IP address of the server in server cluster 30, and the northbound interface IP address of the server in server cluster 20 is the same as the northbound interface IP address of the server in server cluster 30. For the user, switching between the server cluster 20 and the server cluster 30 does not require user awareness, and is convenient for users to access.

When the routing device 40 receives the packet, it finds the corresponding next hop address from the routing entry L5 according to the IP address associated with the server 201 in the packet, that is, the local IP address of the routing device 303, and sends the packet Forward to routing device 303. The routing device 303 finds the next hop address from the routing table entry L4 according to the IP address associated with the server 201 in the message, that is, the local IP address of the server 301, so that the server 301 receives the message.

It can be seen that the switching process between the server cluster 20 and the server cluster 30 is also automatically implemented, which improves the experience for users and managers.

Since the internal architectures of the server cluster 30 and the server cluster 20 are similar, the switching between the server 301 and the server 302 is referred to the above-mentioned switching between the server 201 and the server 202, which is not described herein again.

For the user, the IP address associated with the first server can be used to access the first server, and the IP address of the first server does not need to be used to access the first server, that is, the user can access without having to sense the first server. When the first server fails and needs to be replaced with the second server, the target device only needs to change the mapping relationship between the IP address associated with the first server and the IP address of the first server to be associated with the first server The mapping relationship between the IP address of the IP address and the IP address of the second server is sufficient. The user does not need to change the accessed address when switching between servers, which provides convenience to the user. At the same time, since the IP address associated with the first server is sent to the target device as the first server, not the routing device of the first server, there is no need to set a priority on the routing device to control whether the target device accesses the first server, Reduced workload for managers.
