Embodiment 1

[0034] For a system with a master-slave structure that only includes one network device, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a method for determining a MAC address, such as image 3 shown, including:

[0035] Step 301: When the network device is started, it is judged whether the configuration information of the main management board of the network device contains a MAC address.

[0036] If it is determined that the configuration information of the main management board of the network device contains the MAC address, go to step 302; if it is determined that the configuration information of the main management board of the network device does not contain the MAC address, go to step 304.

[0037] Step 302: Determine whether the MAC address of the management board is the same as the MAC address in the configuration information among all the management boards of the network device.

[0038] If it is determined that the MAC address of the management board is the same as ...

Embodiment 2

[0045] For a system with a master-slave structure that includes multiple network devices, Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a method for determining a MAC address, such as Figure 4 shown, including:

[0046] Step 401: When the system is started, it is judged whether the configuration information of the main management board of the system contains a MAC address.

[0047] Wherein, the main management board of the system is the main management board of the main device in the system.

[0048] Take the VSU system as an example. The VSU system includes two network devices, the master device and the slave device. The master device and the slave device respectively include two management boards, the master management board and the slave management board. The virtual switch port realizes the communication connection between the master and slave devices. In other words, the VSU system has four management boards in total. When the VSU system starts, determine whether the...

Abstract

The invention discloses a media access control address determining method, device and system, which are applied to a system of a principal and subordinate structure comprising one or more network equipment. The media access control address determining method comprises the following steps of: when the system is started, judging whether configuration information of a main managing plate of the system contains a media access control MAC address or not; when determining that the configuration information of the main managing plate of the system contains the MAC address, judging whether a MAC address of a managing plate in all the managing plates of the system exists or not, which is the same as the MAC address of the configuration information; and when determining that the MAC address of the managing plate in all the managing plates of the system exists, which is the same as the MAC address of the configuration information, determining that the MAC address of the system is the MAC address in the configuration information. With the adoption of the media access control address determining method, device and system disclosed by the invention, the problems that the MAC address of the system is possibly changed due to the switching of the main managing plate in two times of starting so that the communication of the system is interrupted and the network is cut off can be solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network communication, in particular to a method for determining a media access control address, a related device and a system. Background technique [0002] In network communication, many systems adopt a master-slave structure to enhance the reliability of the network, including configuring at least two management boards in a system composed of network devices, one of which is the master management board, and the other management boards are slave management boards , at this time, the main management board of the network device is the main management board of the system; or configure at least two network devices in the system, each network device is equipped with at least one management board, and there is a communication connection between each network device, where One network device is the master device, and other network devices are slave devices. The master device and the slave devices are equipped with their ...
