Method of distributing device number of stacked system

Abstract

The invention discloses an method for allocating stackable system equipment numbers. The method comprises reserving the equipment number allocated to the equipment when the equipment departs from a stackable system; and using the preserved equipment number when the equipment again enters the stackable system. The inventive allocation method for stackable system equipment number has the following advantages: the rationality and reliability of the allocation of equipment number are more strong, the equipment number can mark the priority and other information of equipment; the method can be manually controlled, so as to improve the controllability; and the reserve of equipment number is sufficient, so as to be well suitable for the expansion of the stackable system; the method has reserve feature, so that the stackable system can still retain the equipment number when the equipment is turbulent, and the information stability of the stackable system can be ensured. By the invention, the reliability and stability of the stackable system is remarkably improved, the management of the stackable system is easier, and the controllability of the stackable system is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of data communication, in particular to a method for allocating device numbers of a stacking system. Background technique [0002] Routing and switching equipment is the most important and core component of the Internet, responsible for Internet routing propagation and traffic forwarding. Routing and switching equipment includes routers and switches. Managers decide the deployment of routers and switches according to network planning. As the scale of the network becomes larger and the number of routing and switching devices increases, the complexity of its management increases exponentially. Now there is a way to configure and manage a group of related devices in the network as a single device. There is no need for dynamic routing protocols, device interconnection and other related configurations between these devices, making this group Equipment overhead such as memory and processor can be minimized. This method is...

Problems solved by technology

Due to the instability of the device, the assigned stack number changes, which causes other devices in the stack system to constantly update the relevant information of the unstable device following the master device, resulting in turbulence in the information of the stack system, which is not conducive to the stability of the stack system.
