Method and device for automatically identifying adjacency relationship between server and access switch

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for automatically identifying the adjacency relationship between a server and an access switch, and a network management server to solve the problem that the adjacency relationship between a server physical host and an access switch cannot be effectively determined in a data center in the prior art question. According to the established network topology of the data center, the network management server obtains the model of the network equipment in the topology, identifies the boundary equipment of the data center according to the acquired model of the network equipment, and uses the identified ARP of the access switch to Table, determine the server physical host that communicates with the interface of the access switch, and establish the corresponding relationship between the interface of the access switch and the determined server physical host, and the network management server determines the corresponding access on the server physical host The interface of the switch communicates with the network card, and the corresponding relationship between the interface connected to the switch and the network card of the physical host of the server is established.

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) are connected to the server area through access switches (may include 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, ...
