A configuration method and device for port aggregation

Abstract

The invention relates to a configuration method and device for port aggregation. The method includes: establishing a port aggregation list in a data center switch system; in response to receiving a port aggregation creation instruction, checking whether there is a pending port aggregation list contained in the creation instruction Created port aggregation name; in response to the port aggregation name to be created does not exist in the port aggregation list, create a port aggregation table entry with the port aggregation name to be created, and add the public configuration and the verified bare configuration port; in response to After receiving the port aggregation deletion command, check whether the port aggregation name to be deleted contained in the deletion command exists in the port aggregation list; in response to the port aggregation name to be deleted in the port aggregation list, clean up the corresponding port and public configuration, and delete the port aggregation name from the port aggregation list. Delete the corresponding port aggregation entry from the port aggregation list. The invention not only realizes the function of port aggregation in the configuration process, but also better guarantees the security of the network and the stability of the switch system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of switches. The present invention further relates to a configuration method and device for port aggregation. Background technique [0002] At present, many small and medium-sized enterprises are using traditional switches from brands such as Huawei, H3C, and Cisco. However, more and more large enterprises such as Google, Amazon, and Facebook have begun to take the lead in using white-box switches. Compared with traditional switches, white box switches can be programmed, while the latter cannot be programmed. The biggest highlight of white-box switches is their strong openness, that is, for users, white-box switches have more choices in terms of operating systems and software. [0003] TRUNK or portchannel means port aggregation, that is, by configuring software settings, two or more physical ports are combined into a logical path to increase the bandwidth between switches and network nodes, which ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For example, existing portchannels can be created repeatedly; ports that have been added to portchannels can be repeatedly added to other portchannels; portchannel member ports can also be added to portchannels when configurations already exist, resulting in ports that have their own port configurations and portchannel public ones Configuration and other issues

When there is service forwarding, the switch system cannot determine which portchannel, which member port, and which configuration is correct, which will eventually cause business confusion, cause the entire network data to fail, and even cause serious consequences such as database crashes.
