Method for configuring MAC address at each node in inner exchange network

Abstract

This invention discloses a method for configuring MAC address for each node in an internal exchange network including: 1, configuring the working mode of a single board Ethernet controller a mixed mode, 2, a primary control board sends single board MAC address configured packet to the internal exchange net port periodically, 4, the port sends the packet to the single board, 4, which judges if thereceived MAC address configuration packet is the legal one, if so, it sets the controller working at normal mode and enters into step 6, or enters into step 5 if not, 5, casting off the MAC address collocation packet and receiving MAC packet continuously then returning to step 4, 6, the single board updates its MAC address based on the received packets.

Description

Method for Configuring MAC Addresses of Each Node in Internal Switching Network technical field The invention relates to a data processing method, in particular to a method for configuring MAC addresses of each node in an internal switching network. Background technique In the field of communication, a system device is usually composed of a rack, a single board, a backplane, and connecting cables. There are various communication methods between the boards in the system, and Ethernet technology is characterized by its low cost and simple structure. , easy to expand, and convenient for the transmission and processing of IP packets are rapidly replacing other communication methods and becoming the mainstream of communication methods between boards in the rack. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the internal connection of a typical system using the Ethernet architecture. The peripheral single board is connected to a port of the internal switching network located in the main c...
