Method and device capable of automatically recognizing adjacency relation between server and access switch

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device capable of automatically recognizing the adjacency relation between a server and an access switch and a webmaster server. The problem that the adjacency relation between a server physical host and the access switch cannot be effectively determined in a data center in the prior art is solved. According to a network topological structure of the established data center, the webmaster can acquire the type of network equipment in the topological structure. Edge devices of the data center can be recognized according to the type of the network equipment. According to a recognized APP list of the access switch, the server physical host communicated with an interface of the access switch can be determined. Furthermore, the corresponding relation between the interface of the access switch and the determined server physical hose is established, and the webmaster server can determine a network card, communicated with the corresponding interface of the access switch, of the server physical host to establish the corresponding relation between the interface of the access switch and the network card of the server physical host.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a data communication system, in particular to a method and device for automatically identifying the adjacency relationship between a server and an access switch, and a network management server applied in a data center environment. Background technique [0002] In a data center network environment, there are usually such figure 1 In the typical network topology relationship shown, terminals (such as research, development or sales departments) access the server area through access switches (including multi-level access switches), or through access switches, aggregation layer switches, and core Layer switches are connected to the Internet. Wherein, the server area includes at least one server physical host, storage network and other equipment. On the physical host of the server, in order to meet the needs of different departments, multiple virtual servers are planned and set up, such as development servers, research ser...
