Problems solved by technology

The seemingly convenient ZTP function is often challenged in practical applications. If the ZTP server fails, all switches cannot be configured normally. Some patents use two ZTP servers to back up each other, but this method is still Unable to prevent network connection error between ZTP server and switch

Embodiment Construction

[0035] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Based on the above purpose, the first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention proposes an embodiment of a ZTP backup method. figure 1 Shown is a schematic flow chart of the method.

[0037] Such as figure 1 As shown in , the method may include the following steps:

[0038] S1 divides the switches connected to the ZTP server into several groups and saves the group information in the DHCP server, so that the switches in each group are connected to each other and communicate. Generally, there are multiple switches connected to the ZTP server, and these switches are divided into several groups. Group, the number of switches in each group can be the same or different, but the number of sw...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for ZTP redundancy, and the method comprises the following steps: switches connected with a ZTP server are divided into a plurality of groups, the group information is stored in a DHCP server, and the switches in each group are connected with each other and communicate with each other; the DHCP server sends the DHCP packet and the group information to theswitches in response to request of the switches for inviting the DHCP packet to the DHCP; in response to the fact that the request for inviting the ZTP packet sent by the switch to the ZTP server isovertime, the switch sends a request for inviting the ZTP packet to other switches of the group where the switch is located based on the group information; and in response to the fact that the switchreceives the ZTP packets of the switch sent by other switches, the switch performs switch configuration based on the ZTP packets of the switch. By using the scheme of the invention, the problem that the switch cannot smoothly obtain the configuration file when the ZTP server fails or the network connected with the ZTP fails can be avoided, and the product performance can be more stable and reliable.

Description

technical field [0001] This field relates to the computer field, and more particularly relates to a ZTP backup method and device. Background technique [0002] ZTP (Zero touch provisioning) is a management function in the field of switches. It allows switches to automatically configure or install mirroring capabilities after power-on, without the need for administrators to intervene. This capability is used when devices are deployed on a large scale It is especially important when deploying. The main principle is that after the device is turned on, it obtains the IP address of the ZTP server through DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), so that the device can automatically obtain the configuration file from the ZTP server and then update the configuration independently. LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is a link layer protocol, which organizes the information of local devices into TLV (type, length, value) and encapsulates it in LLDPDU...
