The invention provides
Ethernet switching equipment, a control method thereof and an
Ethernet network. Relates to the technical field of
Ethernet. Ethernet switching equipment comprises a 0 port, a 1 port and a 2 port; the 0 port establishes
bidirectional communication connection with the
master station, the 1 port is connected with the head end of the slave
station network, and the 2 port is connected with the
tail end of the slave
station network; the switching equipment is used for controlling one or more of the 0 port, the 1 port and the 2 port to be in an opening state or a closing state and / or controlling the 2 port to be in a rebound state so as to switch the
operation mode of the switching equipment and adjust a data forwarding path in the switching equipment; and in the rebound state, the port 2 receives the data sent by the slave
station network and then sends the data to the slave station network from the port 2. By controlling the three ports of the switching equipment, the switching of the
data transmission path between the
master station network and the slave station network is realized, so that the dependence on the hardware configuration of the
master station is reduced, and the method is particularly suitable for the scene of the master station only provided with a single communication port.
