Problems solved by technology

In reality, when there are many types of line cards in the cabinet switch, developers need to maintain multiple software images, and when users upgrade the system, they also need to prepare multiple software images separately, so as to facilitate the initialization of line cards. Increased a lot of maintenance costs and labor costs

Embodiment Construction

[0013] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only Some embodiments of the present invention are not all embodiments.

[0014] The invention provides the same software image for the initialization work of each line card in the cabinet switch, and the same software image can be compatible to complete the initialization work of different line cards in the cabinet switch. When the line card is initialized, read out the device ID of the switch chip, and then match the corresponding driver software in the software image to complete the initialization of the switch chip, and then read the type ID of the line card, and perform the line card according to the type ID. The corresponding configuration completes...

Abstract

The invention provides a cabinet type switch line card initialization method. The method includes the steps that the same software mirror image is configured for all line cards of a cabinet type switch; when the line cards are started, the device IDs of switch chips of the line cards are read firstly; the corresponding drive software in the software mirror image is called to conduct initialization on the switch chips of the line cards according to the device IDs of the switch chips of the line cards; after initialization of the switch chips of the line cards is finished, the type IDs of the line cards are obtained; corresponding configuration is conducted on the line cards according to the type IDs of the line cards, and initialization is finished. According to the cabinet type switch line card initialization method, initialization is conducted on all the line cards in the cabinet type switch, the same software mirror image is provided, and finally, the same software mirror image can finish the initialization of the different line cards in the cabinet type switch in a compatible mode, on the one hand, the maintenance work of developers is reduced, on the other hand, the operation of version updating is simplified for users.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for initializing a line card of a switch, in particular to a method for initializing a line card of a cabinet type switch. Background technique [0002] As the requirements for network scale and bandwidth increase, the performance requirements for switches also increase. The rapid growth of data center traffic requires greater network capacity, especially data center core switches with greater switching capacity and higher forwarding performance. Therefore, chassis switches that support multiple line cards have emerged as the times require. [0003] At present, the cabinet-type switches on the market include a main control card and multiple line cards, and the main control card and line cards are connected through the backplane to realize communication. After the work is completed, the line card can go online normally. [0004] According to the different needs of users, different line cards are used in the cabinet sw...
