Conversation system based on Ethernet switch cluster management and method for realizing conversation passage

Abstract

The invention relates to an Ethernet switch cluster management technology. Aiming at the effects of IP resource occupation and TCP / IP performance equipment support in the prior art, the invention discloses a conversation system based on Ethernet switch cluster management and a method for realizing a conversation passage so as to realize an application layer service based on TCP / IP under the condition that equipment does not support the TCP / IP performance. In the conversation system based on the Ethernet switch cluster management, a command switch is connected with a member switch by Ethernet to transmit information. In the system, both the command switch and the member switch respectively comprise an application layer service module and a cluster management module; and in the application layer service modules of the command switch and the member switch, the information of a local conversation ID, and the like of a successfully established conversation passage is stored in the application layer service progresses of the command switch and the member switch. The invention is mainly used for Ethernet switch cluster communication.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the cluster management technology of Ethernet switches, in particular to session communication between switches in the cluster. Background technique [0002] With the wide application of Ethernet switches, how to manage the growing number of Ethernet switch devices has become a difficult problem for device administrators. For this reason, switch cluster management technology has emerged, which not only solves the geographical restrictions brought about by device control port (Console) management, but also solves the defect of IP address consumption brought about by remote login (telnet) tool management. The so-called Ethernet switch cluster refers to a group of Ethernet switches that form a unified management domain and provide a public network IP for management. The administrator completes the configuration, management and access of each member in the cluster through the public network IP. The switch configured with the publi...

Problems solved by technology

But the disadvantages are: administrators are required to configure private IP addresses for each member switch. The allocation and management of these private IP addresses is complex, and administrators need to clarify the allocation of IP addresses; NAT configuration is complex, and manual changes in NAT configurations will cause changes in management. ; Higher requirements for managed devices, some lower-end devices cannot be managed through IP

But it also brings some problems: without the support of TCP / IP, the connection-oriented application layer service based on TCP / IP will not find the connection-oriented communication support in the data link layer
