Problems solved by technology

[0007] A large number of Ethernet devices from different manufacturers are added to the cluster in the MAN. Since the functions, specifications, and QOS capabilities of Ethernet devices from different manufacturers are different, the network administrator must manually configure and maintain different Ethernet devices for each Ethernet device. Configuration information, this is easy to cause errors due to too many Ethernet devices, and the workload of configuration is very large, and the efficiency is low

Embodiment 1

[0032] In this embodiment, the transmission network is a VLAN, and the virtual Ethernet divided for member Ethernet devices is also a VLAN, see figure 2 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for configuring an Ethernet device, which specifically includes:

[0033] Step 101: According to the type of the transmission network being VLAN and the manufacturer information in the MAC addresses of the member Ethernet devices, on the command Ethernet device, divide different virtual Ethernet VLANs for each manufacturer, and establish the divided VLAN and manufacturer identification The corresponding relationship between the first 3 bytes of the MAC address of the configuration member Ethernet device and the VLAN ID (VLAN-ID).

[0034] The first 3 bytes (that is, 24 bits) of the MAC address of member Ethernet devices can be used to distinguish information from different manufacturers. The MAC addresses of Ethernet devices of the same manufacturer have the same fir...

Embodiment 2

[0049] In this embodiment, the transmission network is a VPLS network, and the virtual Ethernet allocated for member Ethernet devices is a VSI, see Figure 4 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for configuring an Ethernet device, which specifically includes:

[0050] Step 201: According to the type of the transmission network being VPLS and the manufacturer information in the MAC addresses of the member Ethernet devices, on the command Ethernet device, divide different virtual Ethernet VSIs for each manufacturer, and establish the divided VSI and manufacturer identification The corresponding relationship between the first 3 bytes of the MAC address of the member Ethernet device and the VSI identifier (that is, the VSI-ID).

[0051] If there are multiple manufacturers, different manufacturers are divided into different VSIs, and there is a corresponding relationship between manufacturers and VSIs. VSIs are identified by VSI identifiers, such as VSI-IDs....

Embodiment 3

[0064] In this embodiment, the transmission network is a PBT network, and the virtual Ethernet divided for member Ethernet devices is SI, see Figure 6 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for configuring an Ethernet device, which specifically includes:

[0065] Step 301: According to the type of the transmission network being PBT and the manufacturer identification in the MAC address of the member Ethernet device, on the command Ethernet device, divide different virtual Ethernet SIs for each manufacturer, and establish the divided SI and manufacturer identification The corresponding relationship between the first 3 bytes of the MAC address of the member Ethernet device and the SI identifier (ie SI-ID).

[0066] If there are multiple manufacturers, different manufacturers are divided into different SIs, and there is a corresponding relationship between manufacturers and SIs. SIs are identified through SI identifiers, such as SI-IDs. The correspondence ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device of configuring Ethernet equipment, which belongs to the communication technical field. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a configuration command which contains the manufacturer identification of the Ethernet equipment to be configured; searching the coincidence relation between a preset manufacturer identification and a virtual Ethernet through taking the manufacturer identification as an index, and obtaining the virtual Ethernet corresponding to the manufacturer identification; sending the configuration command to the Ethernet equipment in the virtual Ethernet. The device comprises a receiving module, a searching module and a configuring module. The invention sends the configuration command to the Ethernet equipment in the virtual Ethernet corresponding to the preset manufacturer identification through the coincidence relation between the preset manufacturer identification and the virtual Ethernet, thereby enabling all Ethernet equipment in the manufacturer to configure related information according to the command, avoiding configuring the equipment one by one, greatly saving configuration time and workload, improving efficiency, and bringing about easier management and maintenance as well as easier network extension.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communications, in particular to a method and device for configuring Ethernet equipment. Background technique [0002] Due to the ease of use and low price of Ethernet technology, a large number of Ethernet devices are used in the metropolitan area network. Most of the MANs have Ethernet equipment from multiple manufacturers, and some cities even have Ethernet equipment from dozens of manufacturers. The functions, specifications, and QOS (Quality of Service) policies of each manufacturer’s equipment are different. Not the same, the generated alarm information is also intertwined, which makes it more difficult for operators to manage Ethernet devices. [0003] Each Ethernet device has at least one MAC (Media Access Control, Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is a 48-bit (bit) integer, such as: 44-45-53-54-00-00, in which the first 24 bits represent the Ethernet device code of a manufacturer, ...
