Embodiment Construction

[0040] figure 1 It is a flowchart of an embodiment of the message sending method of the present invention, such as figure 1 As shown, the message sending method may include:

[0041]In step 101, a switch receives a non-disruptive reconfiguration (BF) message, and the BF message is sent by a switch in a storage switching network (Fabric) to which the switch is connected and connected to a switch in an adjacent Fabric of the Fabric to which the switch belongs.

[0042] Step 102, when the BF message carries a switch name, and the switch name carried in the BF message is different from the switch name of the switch, the switch retains the Domain_ID of the switch.

[0043] Wherein, the switch name carried in the BF message is the switch name of the switch with a lower priority among the switches in the Fabric to which the switch belongs and the switches in the adjacent Fabric having the same Domain_ID.

[0044] Step 103, the switch sends the BF message through ports other than th...

Abstract

The invention relates to a message transmission method, device and switch. The message transmission method comprises the following steps that the switch receives a BF(non-disruptive reconfiguration) message; when the BF message carries a switch name, and the switch name carried in the BF message is different from the name of the switch, the switch retains the Domain ID (Identifier) of the switch; and the BF message is sent through a port in the switch except the port for receiving the BF message. The only communication disruption of the switch of which the name is the same as the switch name carried in the BF message and the communication non-disruption of other switches can be realized, and the serviceability of the whole network is ensured to the utmost extent.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to communication technology, in particular to a message sending method, device and switch. Background technique [0002] With the development of new data center technologies, the integration of traditional Ethernet and storage networks is an inevitable trend. In this context, a new generation of converged network Ethernet bearer Fiber Channel protocol (Fiber Channel Over Ethernet; hereinafter referred to as: FCOE) came into being. . In a network where the port connected to the switch is an E-mode port (FCOE E), when two different networks are merged, reconfiguration of the storage switching network (Fabric) will occur. Reconfiguration is divided into non-interruptible reconfiguration (Non -disruptive; hereinafter referred to as: BF) and interrupt reconfiguration (Disruptive; hereinafter referred to as: RCF). Data transmission will not be interrupted during fabric non-disruptive reconfiguration; data transmission of the entire fa...
