Abstract

The invention discloses a centralized virtual switch architecture control method and equipment. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a processing module disposed within a first switch fabric component, the processing module configured to when a second switch fabric component having a routing module is operatively coupled to the first switch fabric component, The second switch fabric component is detected. The processing module is configured to define a virtual processing module configured to be operatively coupled with the second switch fabric component. The virtual processing module is configured to receive a request for forwarding information from the second switch fabric component, and the virtual processing module is configured to send the forwarding information to the routing module.

Description

Technical field [0001] Some embodiments described herein relate to switch architecture control, and in particular, to centralized virtual control related to the switch architecture. Background technique [0002] The switch architecture may include a large number of switches to direct data packets from the source device to the destination device. The switches in the switch architecture can each include a local processor and receive regular software updates. As the switch architecture becomes larger, more switches are included, resulting in increased power usage caused by more processors, and a longer, labor-intensive, and potentially error-prone software upgrade process. In some cases, network operators manage software upgrades for each individual switch, often manually upgrading the software one switch at a time. [0003] Therefore, there is a need for a method and device that simplify the software upgrade process of the switch architecture and reduce the power usage of the switc...
