Stacking topological convergence method and apparatus, stacking switch and stacking system

Abstract

The invention embodiment discloses a stacking topological convergence method and apparatus, a stacking switch and a stacking system, wherein, the stacking topological convergence method comprises: the stacking switch receives the stacking notification message transmitted by the neighboring other stacking switch in the stacking system, the stacking notification message comprises stacking parameters, whether the topological structure of the stacking system is stabilized or not can be judged according to the stacking notification message; when the stacking system topological structure is stabilized, the stacking topological convergence can be performed. The invention embodiment can quicken the completing speed of the switch stacking topological convergence and reduce the spent time during establishing the switch stacking system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to switch stacking technology, in particular to a stacking topology convergence method and device, a stacking switch and a stacking system. Background technique [0002] With the popularization of broadband applications and the growth of enterprise information application requirements, the overall speed of the network continues to increase, and the demand for high-throughput data exchange and various intelligent applications is also increasing. In order to meet the port quantity requirements of large-scale networks, generally multiple stacking switches can be connected to form a stacking system by using the stacking technology of switches. Wherein, the stacking switch refers to a switch having stacking ports, and the stacking of switches refers to connecting the stacking ports of the stacking switches through cables, so as to realize the expansion of the number of ports of a single switch.

Problems solved by technology

Since each topology convergence requires operations such as topology calculation and stack switch settings, although the number of stack switches in the stack system is small, this method can complete the topology convergence process quickly. However, when the stack system When the number of stacked switches in the network is large, it will take more time to perform multiple topology convergence

[0009] To sum up, the methods for stacking topology convergence provided by the prior art are relatively inefficient, and the topology convergence speed is slow, which leads to a lot of meaningless time spent on the stacking system establishment process.
