EOC (Ethernet over Coax) terminal, port configuration method and device

Abstract

The invention provides an EOC (Ethernet over Coax) terminal, and a port configuration method and device. The EOC terminal is a gateway type EOC terminal and comprises an EOC chip and a routing chip connected with the EOC chip. The EOC chip determines a terminal supported by a local side through a type identifier of a target data packet issued by the local side, and receives configuration information issued by the local side. When the local side supports the gateway type EOC terminal, routing configuration information is directly sent to the routing chip. When the local side supports a basic EOC terminal, if a configuration request of the routing chip is received, switch configuration information is sent to the routing chip. When receiving the routing configuration information, the routing chip directly carries out configuration based on the routing configuration information. When receiving the switch configuration information, the routing chip obtains configuration parameters of own port from the switch configuration information and carries out configuration based on the configuration parameters. The EOC terminal provided by the invention has relatively high universality and the hardware cost is greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of EOC terminals, in particular to an EOC terminal, a port configuration method and a device. Background technique [0002] The current EOC terminals are all basic EOC terminals. The basic EOC terminal includes the EOC chip, the switch chip connected to the EOC chip, and the routing chip connected to the switch chip. Since the ports used by the switch chips in different regions are different, they are different. Different regions need to use different switch chips, which leads to relatively high hardware costs for basic EOC terminals. Moreover, if the network speed is to be increased, the switch chip in the basic EOC terminal needs to be replaced with a Gigabit switch chip, which leads to a higher cost of the basic EOC terminal. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of this, the present invention provides an EOC terminal, port configuration method and device to solve the problem of high hardw...
