Abstract

Description

智能设备管理方法、装置、网络设备和可读存储介质
本申请要求在2019年05月29日提交中国专利局、申请号为201910458834.X的中国专利申请的优先权，该申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请实施例涉及但不限于通信领域，例如，涉及但不限于智能设备管理方法、装置、网络设备和可读存储介质。
背景技术
管理组件传输协议(Management Component Transport Protocol，MCTP)是独立于多种媒介的计算机内部智能设备间相互通信的、建立在物理层基础之上的“数据链路层”协议，便于平台管理开发者快速、经济的开发和部署通用信息模型(Common Information Model，CIM)可接入的平台管理子系统。MCTP定义了独立于物理媒介的传输层协议，链路层在系列MCTP绑定协议中定义，支持的物理媒介类型包括：高速串行计算机扩展总线标准(Peripheral Component Interconnect Express，PCIe)、系统管理总线(System Management Bus，SMBus)、通用串行总线(Universal Serial Bus，USB)、块传输(Block Transfer，BT)、键盘控制器规格(Keyboard Controller Style，KCS)等。
计算机系统支持MCTP带外管理的大多数智能设备支持的媒介类型为PCIe和SMBus。高速串行计算机扩展总线标准供应商定义信息上的管理组件传输协议(Management Component Transport Protocol Over Peripheral Component Interconnect Express Vendor Defined Message，MCTP Over PCIe VDM)传输绑定规范基于PCIe传输层协议定义了基于PCIe链路的智能设备之间的通讯协议；系统管理总线上的管理组件传输协议(Management Component Transport Protocol Over System Management Bus，MCTP Over SMBus)传输绑定规范基于系统控制总线(System Management Bus，SMBus)协议定义了基于I2C总线(Inter-Integrated Circuit，I2C)链路的智能设备之间的通讯协议等等。MCTP的基础规范中定义了支持不同物理层链路智能设备之间的通讯机制。
配有基板管理控制器(Baseboard Management Controller，BMC)的计算机系统由BMC通过带外PCIe、SMBus等物理通道与被管理设备通讯，承担计算机系统硬件监控的职责。
分布式管理任务组(Distributed Management Task Force，DMTF)定义的MCTP多种绑定协议和MCTP基础规范一起保证了不同厂商的智能设备实现带外通道的通讯。
一般支持MCTP的设备都是智能设备，有自己的处理器单元和固件，当智能设备提供的带外功能超出已有定义的功能时，譬如具备交换功能的智能提供交换配置功能、智能设备的调试，由于无标准协议定义，每种智能设备实现根据厂家实现，BMC无法直接提供支持，并且当智能设备升级后BMC也需要升级才能支持新的功能；同样连接到BMC的外部管理软件也不能对智能设备进行管理，或者是智能设备增加新功能后无法管理。
