Problems solved by technology

[0008] Whether relying on the aging mechanism of the MAC address to implement traffic switching or artificially clearing the MAC address forwarding table on the PE, it may cause slow traffic switching from the first VRRP gateway to the second VRRP gateway, and further cause service interruption

Embodiment 1

[0060] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for switching Ethernet virtual network gateways, see image 3 , the method includes:

[0061] Step 101: The first service provider edge node PE monitors the state of a first virtual routing redundancy protocol VRRP gateway, and the first VRRP gateway and the first PE are in a first data center.

[0062] When the state of the first VRRP gateway is active, the first PE uses the MAC route of the first VRRP gateway to forward traffic.

[0063] Step 102: When the state of the first VRRP gateway is abnormal or standby, clear the MAC route of the first VRRP gateway on the first PE, and obtain the MAC route of the second VRRP gateway sent by the second PE , and use the MAC route of the second VRRP gateway to forward traffic. Wherein, the second VRRP gateway and the second PE are in a second data center, the second data center is a data center adjacent to the first data center, and the first data center and the first da...

Embodiment 2

[0067] based on figure 2 In the system shown, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for switching Ethernet virtual network gateways, see Figure 4 , the method includes:

[0068] Step 201: the first PE monitors local VRRP packets.

[0069] In this embodiment, the local VRRP message is a VRRP message sent by the first VRRP gateway, that is, a VRRP message sent by a VRRP gateway in the same data center as the first PE.

[0070] The VRRP gateway in the active state will regularly send VRRP packets, that is, VRRP notification packets (there is only one type of VRRP packet), to notify the VRRP gateway in the backup state that it is working normally. A VRRP packet includes a VRRP ID and a priority. The VRRP ID ranges from 1 to 255, and the priority ranges from 0 to 255. A larger value indicates a higher priority. Of course, the VRRP message also includes other fields, such as VLAN, authentication data, checksum, and so on.

[0071] VRRP packets are enca...

Embodiment 3

[0099] An embodiment of the present invention provides a service provider edge node device PE, see Figure 5 , the PE includes:

[0100] A monitoring module 301, configured to monitor the status of a first virtual routing redundancy protocol VRRP gateway, the first VRRP gateway and the PE are in the first data center;

[0101] The processing module 302 is configured to clear the MAC route of the first VRRP gateway on the PE when the state of the first VRRP gateway is abnormal or standby, and obtain the MAC address of the second VRRP gateway sent by the second PE. route, and use the MAC route of the second VRRP gateway to forward traffic, the second VRRP gateway and the second PE are in a second data center, and the second data center is adjacent to the first data center data center, the first data center is connected to the second data center through an IP tunnel.

[0102] The processing module 302 is further configured to use the MAC route of the first VRRP gateway to forwa...

Abstract

The invention discloses an Ethernet virtual network gateway switching method and service provider edge node equipment, and belongs to the technical field of networks. The method includes the following steps: first service provider edge node equipment (PE) monitors the state of a first virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) gateway, and the first VRRP gateway and the first PE are in a first data center; and when the state of the first VRRP gateway is an abnormal state or standby state, a media access control (MAC) route of the first VRRP gateway on the first PE is eliminated, an MAC route of a second VRRP gateway sent by second PE is obtained, the MAC route of the second VRRP gateway is used to forward flow, the second VRRP gateway and the second PE are in a second data center, the second data center is a data center adjacent to the first data center, and the first data center and the second data center are connected through an internet protocol (IP) tunnel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network technology, in particular to an Ethernet virtual network gateway switching method and service provider edge node equipment. Background technique [0002] The Ethernet Virtual Network (English: Ethernet Virtual Network, referred to as "EVN") is a layer-2 network established on the IP network between two data centers. It is an IP tunneling technology and is responsible for the layer-2 traffic transmission between the two data centers. see figure 1 , the first data center A and the second data center B are connected through the EVN network, and the first data center A is equipped with a first service provider edge node device (English: ProviderEdge, referred to as: PE) and a first virtual routing redundancy protocol ( English: VirtualRouterRedundancyProtocol, referred to as: VRRP) gateway, the second PE and the second VPRR gateway are set in the second data center B, the first VRRP gateway and the second VRRP...
