Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the inventor found in the implementation process that there are the following defects in the prior art: due to the fast replacement of the switch, when the switch fails and needs to be replaced with a new switch, it is impossible to find a switch that is completely consistent with the old switch
Especially in some application scenarios (for example, different switches need to be configured with different VLAN communication protocols), when an old switch is replaced with a new switch, due to the compatibility issues involved in the replacement process, it is often necessary to replace the entire network with a new one. All the switches in the system are replaced, which greatly increases the cost of troubleshooting and reduces the efficiency of troubleshooting

Embodiment 1

[0049] figure 1 A schematic flowchart of a method for handling a fault of a switch provided according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is shown. Wherein, the method can be executed by a computing device with corresponding computing capability. This embodiment does not limit the specific execution device of the method.

[0050] like figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0051] Step S110: Acquire network communication fault data, and identify the faulty switch according to the fault data.

[0052] In order to ensure the normal operation of the business, the network communication status can be monitored in real time, and when the abnormal network status is monitored, a corresponding network communication failure report is generated. Therefore, in this step, fault data such as the generated network communication fault report can be acquired in real time or according to a preset period,

[0053] Further, after the fault data is acquired, the faulty switch is identifi...

Embodiment 2

[0066] image 3 A schematic flowchart of a method for handling a fault of a switch according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention is shown. Wherein, this embodiment is specifically aimed at further optimization of the switch fault processing method in the first embodiment.

[0067] like image 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0068] Step S310: Acquire network communication fault data, and identify the faulty switch according to the fault data.

[0069] Step S320: Determine whether the faulty switch is a switch of the first type; if so, perform step S330.

[0070] Step S330: Search for a candidate switch that matches the faulty switch.

[0071] Step S340: Configure the communication ports of the candidate switches according to the ratio of the first type of switches in the current preset network and the number of communication ports of the candidate switches, so that the configured candidate switches can be used to replace the faulty switches.

Embodiment 3

[0078] Figure 4 A schematic flowchart of a method for handling faults of a switch provided according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention is shown. Wherein, this embodiment is specifically aimed at further optimization of the switch fault processing method in the first embodiment.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0080] Step S410: Acquire network communication fault data, determine a fault range according to the fault data, and determine the level of the faulty switch based on the determined fault range, and then identify the faulty switch according to the level of the faulty switch.

[0081] In the actual implementation process, the number of network devices covered by switches at different levels is different, wherein the number of network devices covered by a layer 3 switch is larger than that of a layer 2 switch, and the number of network devices covered by a layer 2 switch is greater than that of a layer 1 switch. Therefore, after the fault...

Abstract

The invention discloses a switch fault processing method and device. The method includes: acquiring network communication fault data, identifying the faulty switch according to the fault data; judging whether the faulty switch is a first-type switch; wherein the first-type switch only supports the first communication protocol; if so, searching for a candidate matching the faulty switch switch; wherein, the candidate switch is a second type of switch, and the second type of switch supports the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol; the communication port of the candidate switch is configured to replace the faulty switch with the configured candidate switch; wherein, after the configuration The candidate switch includes a first-type port and a second-type port, the first-type port corresponds to the first communication protocol, and the second-type port corresponds to the second communication protocol. By adopting this solution, when a certain switch fails, there is no need to replace the communication equipment in the entire network, the fault processing cost is low, and the processing efficiency is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, in particular to a method and device for handling faults in a switch. Background technique [0002] A switch is a network device used for electrical (optical) signal forwarding, which can provide an exclusive electrical signal path for any two network nodes connected to the switch, thus becoming an important part of the communication network. At present, when a switch fails, it is necessary to deal with and replace the faulty switch in time to ensure the normal operation of services. [0003] However, the inventor found in the implementation process that the prior art has the following defects: due to the fast replacement of switches, when a switch fails and needs to be replaced with a new switch, a switch that is completely consistent with the old switch cannot be found. Especially in some application scenarios (for example, different switches need to be configured with differe...
