A kind of active dhcp assignment method of blade server management network

Abstract

The present invention proposes an active DHCP allocation method for the blade server management network. First, the network of the blade server management module is firstly configured by the upper-level DHCP server, and then the network of each blade module is responsible for applying and configuring to the upper-level DHCP server by the management module; the allocation method It mainly includes: the external access mode of the blade server management network, the prerequisites for the active DHCP allocation of the management module or the blade module, and the active DHCP configuration steps of the management network. This allocation method can prevent too many modules from being exposed to the external network, improves the security of the traditional server management network DHCP configuration, can be easily implemented in the form of Ethernet connection, and can quickly manage large-scale blade server cluster management networks configuration, and can reduce the cost of network operation, management and maintenance when deploying large-scale clusters.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention designs a server technology, specifically a blade server management network active DHCP distribution method. Background technique [0002] Blade servers are widely used in high-performance computing and data center server clusters due to their high computing density, optimized deployment, resource sharing, and centralized management. It has become one of the main directions of server development today. A blade server system can usually accommodate several to dozens of blade modules, multiple power supply modules and fan modules, redundant backup management modules, and various switch modules. For real-time system monitoring and management of blade servers and even server clusters, they must be connected to the Internet or intranet, so it is necessary to configure the management network of blade servers. At present, there are usually several situations for the internal management network configuration of the blade server: [0003] 1. Man...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. Manual configuration: This method manually configures the network for each blade server one by one, which not only has low production efficiency, is not suitable for large-scale server deployment and centralized management, but also has a high probability of network configuration errors due to the large number of configurations. It will be higher, which will definitely bring great trouble to the manufacturer.

[0004] 2. DHCP configuration: This method often connects the management module, blade module, storage module and other modules in the blade server that require network management directly to the external management network, and then configures multiple modules through the upper-level DHCP. Although this can improve configuration efficiency , to reduce the probability of coordination errors, but because the key modules are directly exposed to the outside, it will lead to risks such as malicious modification and information security threats, and it is not conducive to the centralized management of the blade server
