Embodiment 1
[0041] In the TRILL network, when the routing bridge learns the MAC address and floods it to the neighbor routing bridge, the routing bridge connected to the end system learns the MAC address of the end system, and then the routing bridge sends the MAC address to the receiving end except the receiving end. Neighbor routing bridges send link state packets carrying MAC addresses. To put it simply, the routing bridge learns the MAC address of the end system, encapsulates the learned MAC address in a special link state packet, and floods it to the neighboring routing bridge. The neighbor routing bridge receives the link state packet, performs some checks and proceeds to flood the neighbor.
[0042] Specifically, as figure 1 Shown, a kind of method for TRILL network MAC address learning, comprises steps:
[0043] The RB (RBridge, routing bridge) connected to the ES (EndSystem, end system) learns the MAC address of the end system, and encapsulates the MAC address in the form of TL...
Embodiment 2
[0061] Based on the method for learning a TRILL network MAC address proposed in the foregoing embodiments, this embodiment proposes a device for learning a TRILL network MAC address.
[0062] Such as image 3 As shown, a device for learning a TRILL network MAC address includes:
[0063] The learning encapsulation module is used to learn the MAC address of the end system and encapsulate the MAC address of the end system in the link state packet;
[0064] A judging module, connected to the learning encapsulation module, for judging whether the MAC address in the link state packet exists locally;
[0065] The first setting module is connected with the judgment module, and is used to set the local confidence value as the confidence value of the MAC address in the link state packet;
[0066] The second setting module is connected to the judging module, and is used to update the confidence value of the local MAC address to the confidence value of the MAC address in the link state ...
