General-purpose attribute logging method and node

Abstract

The invention provides a universal property register method used for the network practicing the GARP protocol and the topology management protocol. The method includes that the property statement is broadcasted through a blocking port. In addition, the invention also provides a node. The technical proposal provided by the invention can ensure the two ports of the node on a loop to be respectively registered with a dynamic property and can avoid repeated property register processes, reduce service flow restoring time and improve network performance when the network topology is changed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to data communication technology, in particular to a general attribute registration method and a node. Background technique [0002] Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP, Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) provides an attribute transmission and diffusion mechanism, which is used to assist the distribution, propagation and registration of certain information (such as multicast address, port filtering mode, etc.) between switching members in the same switching network. , virtual local area network VLAN and other attributes). GARP members notify other GARP members to register or cancel their own attribute information through attribute declaration or recycling statement, and register or cancel each other's attribute information according to the attribute declaration or recycling statement of other GARP members. Through the GARP mechanism, the configuration information on a GARP member can be quickly disseminated to the...

However, since port 11 of S1 is not registered with the VLAN attribute at this time, the service traffic in the VLAN cannot be restored immediately after the spanning tree topology switching is completed. Only after port 11 is registered with the VLAN attribute can the service traffic in the VLAN be restored

[0008] That is to say, in the existing general attribute registration method, when a network failure occurs, the service flow recovery time is equal to the spanning tree topology switching time plus the GARP attribute registration time. It must wait until the spanning tree topology switching is completed and the GARP attribute registration is completed. Only when the service flow returns to normal, will the service flow be interrupted for too long, resulting in network performance degradation, thereby affecting the user's service experience

In addition, when the dynamic attribute is applied to the ring of the aggregation layer, it is often hoped that both ports of the nodes on the ring can register the attribute, so that when the ring topology of the aggregation layer changes, there is no need to wait for the registration of the dynamic attribute again. However, the existing general attribute registration method does not enable both ports of the nodes on the ring to register dynamic attributes
