Collocation method and member device of stack logic interface

Abstract

The invention provides a collocation method and a member device of a stack logic interface. The member device in a stack system builds the received stack physical interface of neighbor discovery message of the same MAC address into a stack logic interface; the member device elects expectant primary device in the stack system according to preset election rules; the member device receives a topology collection message sent by the expectant primary device, the stack logic interface attribute message which is used by the topology collection message is sent by the expectant primary device which is carried in the topology collection message to realize the self stack logic interface attribute configuration. The invention can avoid stack isomerism problem caused by artificial incorrect operation, saves human resource and is more convenient to be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method for configuring stack logic ports and member devices. Background technique [0002] Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF, Intelligent Resilient Framework) is also called a stacking system, which connects multiple devices through stacking ports to form a joint device, and manages this joint device to realize all devices in the stacking system manage. [0003] Each member device in the stack system has one or two stack logic ports, such as figure 1 As shown, they are respectively called logical left port and logical right port, and member devices follow the principle of connecting logical left port to logical right port. The logical left port and the logical right port respectively maintain a topology table, called the left topology table and the right topology table, which describe the left topology information and right topology information of member devi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, this method is obviously cumbersome, and it is prone to stack heterogeneity caused by configuration errors. For example, the logical left port of two member devices is connected to the logical left port, or the logical right port is connected to the logical right port; Repeatedly configure two logical left ports or two logical right ports, etc.

Especially in the case of many member devices, the defect is more obvious
