[0022] 3. The test time is long, and the test time is about half a minute. According to the test steps described above, the test time of a switch with 24 Gigabit electrical ports needs at least about 9 minutes, not counting the intermediate station change and equipment preparation. power on and off time
Time consumption also increases labor cost

Embodiment Construction

[0045] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for testing connectivity based on Ethernet switches used in production testing. This method uses connectivity testing software based on switches. A switch port for direct testing. Extended protection of this patent. Through the dedicated software, use the switch as the test platform to test the connectivity of other switches to improve the efficiency of production testing.

[0046] The main realization principles, specific implementation modes and corresponding beneficial effects that can be achieved of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with each accompanying drawing.

[0047] Such as image 3 As shown, the main implementation principle flow of Embodiment 1 of the present invention is as follows:

[0048] Step 11, each port of the switch under test is connected to the test switch respectively;

[0049] The biggest difference be...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method, a device and a system for testing the connectivity of switches by connecting all ports of a switch to be tested with a testing switch respectively. Broadcast messages are sent to a port to be tested on the switch to be tested and the number of the broadcast messages sent is recorded; the number of the broadcast messages received which are forwarded by the switch to be tested is recorded at all ports of the testing switch; the number of the broadcast messages received and the number of the broadcast messages sent are compared, if the numbers are the same, the port to be tested of the switch to be tested has no fault, or otherwise, the port to be tested of the switch to be tested is at fault. The proposal provided by the embodiment of the invention can effectively improve the connectivity testing efficiency of switches and the testing result is more convictive.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer and network communication, in particular to a method, device and system for testing connectivity of a switch. Background technique [0002] Existing Ethernet switch ports are classified into 10M, 100M, 1000M ports according to the speed; they are divided into electrical ports and optical ports according to the type of transmission medium, and the transmission media are twisted pair and optical fiber respectively; according to the duplex mode For full-duplex and half-duplex mode. Through the auto-negotiation protocol, the high-speed port whose medium is an electrical port can be compatible with the low-speed port. At this time, the high-speed port will auto-negotiate as a low-speed port. [0003] The connectivity test of the switch is a test of the packet forwarding ability of the port of the Ethernet switch. If a port is tested, it sends a data packet to this port. After receiving the data packe...
