Embodiment 1

[0030] see figure 1 , figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of the DCBX parameter deployment method in Embodiment 1 of the present application. The specific steps are:

[0031] In step 101, the FCoE switching device receives the global DCBX parameters issued by the FCoE neighbor switching device through any port.

[0032] In step 102, the FCoE switching device compares the priorities of the received global DCBX parameters with the locally effective global DCBX parameters.

[0033] Step 103, when the FCoE switching device determines that the priority of the received global DCBX parameter is higher than that of the locally effective global DCBX, it configures the received global DCBX parameter as the currently effective global DCBX parameter.

[0034] When there are multiple global DCBX parameters with the highest priority, the global DCBX parameter with the smallest identifier (ID) is selected as the effective global DCBX parameter.

[0035] In step 104, the FCoE switching ...

Embodiment 2

[0045] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the specific implementation process of realizing global DCBX parameter flooding in the entire network in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail.

[0046] see figure 2 , figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of the DCBX parameter deployment method in Embodiment 2 of the present application. The specific steps are:

[0047] In step 201, the FCoE switching device receives the global DCBX parameters issued by the FCoE neighbor switching device through any port.

[0048] In step 202, the FCoE switching device compares the priorities of the received global DCBX parameters with the locally effective global DCBX parameters.

[0049] Step 203, when the FCoE switching device determines that the priority of the received global DCBX parameter is higher than that of the locally effective global DCBX, it configures the received global DCBX parameter as the currently effective global DCBX parameter.

Embodiment 3

[0060] see Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of data center network networking in the embodiment of this application. Figure 4 , configure global DCBX parameters on switching device 1, enable the function of sending DCBX parameters on port 1, port 2, and port 3 of switching device 1; Configure the function of enabling the sending of DCBX parameters; configure the function of enabling the sending of DCBX parameters on port 1, port 2, and port 3 of the switching device 3; configure the function of enabling the sending of DCBX parameters on port 3 of the switching device 3.

[0061] Since the global DCBX parameter is configured on the switching device 1, the global DCBX parameter takes effect, and is carried in the extended TLV in the LLDP message and published to the neighbor devices (server 1, server 2, server 3 and switching device 4) .

[0062] In specific implementation, the switching device 1 can publish the effective global DCBX parameters to the servers ...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for deploying parameters of a data center bridging exchange protocol (DCBX). The method comprises the steps that FCoE (Fiber Channel over Ethernet) exchange equipment receives global DCBX parameters released by FCoE neighbor exchange equipment through any port; the received global DCBX parameters are configured to current executed global DCBX parameters when the priority of the received global DCBX parameters is higher than that of a local executed global DCBX; and the current executed DCBX parameters are released to other FCoE neighbor equipment through other ports whose DCBX parameter sending function is enabled. Based on the same inventive conception, the invention further provides a device for deploying the parameters of the data center bridging exchange protocol. The workload and the maintenance cost of DCBX parameter deployment can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method and device for deploying data center bridge capability exchange protocol parameters. Background technique [0002] At present, there are more and more types of network devices and their respective configurations are intricate. In order to enable devices from different manufacturers to discover each other and exchange their own system and configuration information in the network, a standard information exchange platform is required. [0003] The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (Link Layer Discovery Protocol, LLDP) was produced under such a background, it provides a standard link layer discovery method, which can combine the main capabilities of the local device, management address, device identification, Information such as interface identification is organized into different types / lengths / values ​​(Type / Length / Value, TLV), and encapsulated in the link layer ...
