Problems solved by technology

Because address learning and address aging are independent, there is an error in the aging time of the MAC address. The error time range is 1 to 2 times the set aging time. Therefore, the packet forwarding behavior is caused within the aging error time range. is also incorrect

Abstract

The embodiment of the present application provides a MAC address management method, device and electronic equipment. The method includes: updating the MAC address table according to the message information carried in the received message, and using the current time as the time stamp to set the time Insert the stamp into the entry corresponding to the message in the MAC address table; when the aging period arrives, for each entry in the MAC address table, perform an aging process on the MAC address table according to the time stamp stored in the entry; When the message is forwarded, it is determined according to the time stamp stored in the entry whether to perform secondary aging processing on the MAC address table; if secondary aging processing is required, the entry is deleted from the MAC address table to complete the secondary aging process. Aging processing, and packets are forwarded according to VLAN flooding. It avoids the problem of forwarding errors caused by an untimely aging process caused by the time interval of the aging cycle, reduces the error of the aging time, and makes the packet forwarding behavior more accurate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of network equipment, in particular to a MAC address management method, device and electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] The switch supports automatic MAC address learning for input packets, and maps the source MAC address and input port of the packet to the MAC address table as the basis for subsequent data forwarding. Due to the limited space in the MAC address table, the switch needs to perform MAC address aging operations periodically to delete inactive MAC address entries to ensure that there is enough space in the MAC address table to learn MAC addresses for subsequent packets. In the prior art, the aging of the MAC address entry is generally controlled through the hit bit in the MAC address entry, and the update of the hit is performed when the switch performs address learning. Because address learning and address aging are independent, there is an error in the aging time of the...
