Problems solved by technology

[0006] In fact, the functions and capacities of different switching chips will vary greatly. First, the functions provided by the switching chips. Some switching chips only provide simple Layer 2 switching functions, but do not provide Layer 3 switching functions. Traffic classification strategy, some switching chips do not provide

Embodiment 1

[0054] Embodiment 1, interface address configuration

[0055] Interface address configuration is the most basic function of the switching device. After the interface address is configured, the device can communicate with the outside normally, and it can also divide some working network segments to carry out specific business applications. Interface address configuration requires the support of the switch chip to complete the entire function. For Layer 2 switching chips and Layer 3 switching chips, the support for this function is slightly different. For Layer 2 switching chips, the configuration of the interface address is only related to the Layer 2 forwarding table; for the Layer 3 switching chip, the configuration of the interface address It is not only related to the Layer 2 forwarding table, but also needs to configure the host routing table and subnet routing table.

[0056] Then, corresponding to the service function (ie, interface address configuration), there are thr...

Embodiment 2

[0067] Embodiment two, ARP (Address Resolution Protocol, Address Resolution Protocol) configuration

[0068] ARP is the basic protocol on the switching device. The main function of ARP is to obtain the physical address of the host through the IP address. In Ethernet, the physical address is the MAC (Media Access Control, Media Access Control) address. In order to save the correspondence between IP addresses and MAC addresses, there is an ARP table in the ARP protocol, which stores all current ARP entries.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for managing switch chips, comprising the following steps: defining a plurality of chip functions and obtaining the information whether the switch chips support each chip function and the operation functions corresponding to the chip functions supported by the switch chips; defining the service functions and establishing the association relationship between the service functions and the chip functions related to the service functions; and finding the chip functions associated with the service functions according to the service functions and the operation types when the switch chips are operated and operating the switch chips by using the operation functions corresponding to the chip functions according to the operation types if the switch chips support the chip functions associated with the service functions. The invention also provides a system for managing the switch chips. The invention adopts the unified interfaces to manage the resources of the switch chips and operate the switch chips and ensures that the upper protocol programs and the service programs can be conveniently oriented to different switch chips.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a network system, in particular to a management method and system for switching chips. Background technique [0002] Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching devices are indispensable devices on the data network, and are usually used on the path from the LAN to the global network. According to the layered structure, the fixed network can be divided into core network, aggregation network and access network. The core network is responsible for the transmission of backbone data streams to achieve large-scale, mainly data stream transmission between cities and countries. Commonly used core network equipment includes core routers, etc., mainly to complete high-performance and stable forwarding of backbone traffic; The traffic from the access layer is the aggregation and termination point of multiple services. Commonly used devices include Layer 3 switches and edge routers. The access network completes the access of various services for users....
