Kilomega Ethernet port butt method

Abstract

The invention can build connection between two GE (Giga Ethernet) ports having different configuration modes. The method comprises: a control process is added, which firstly configures the GE ports into a self-negotiation mode and tries to build connection, if the connection is failure, then configures the ports to Gigabits full duplex at a force mode; before the ports is configured into a force mode, firstly making detection to decide if there is a optical signal, if yes, then configuring the ports to force mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to Ethernet technology, in particular to Gigabit Ethernet technology. Background technique [0002] Since the 1980s, Ethernet has always occupied the dominant position of LAN due to its low cost and flexible characteristics. The Ethernet protocol has become the de facto standard of the LAN protocol, and Ethernet has become synonymous with the LAN. [0003] With the development of technology, there are many emerging applications that require a lot of bandwidth on Ethernet, such as database and backup applications, video conferencing and multimedia interactive applications, publishing, multimedia images, and scientific model applications. At the same time, in the process of networking, it is also required to provide greater bandwidth at the network backbone and server level shared by users according to the size of data traffic. For this reason, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ("IEEE") has proposed 100...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] In practical applications, the above solution has the following problems: when the ports of the two communicating parties are in different modes, that is, when one end is in self-negotiation mode and the other end is in forced mode, the connection will fail and cannot be recovered by itself.

At this time, you can only manually check the configuration at both ends, and manually change the configuration of the port so that the two ends of the communication are in the same mode.

[0010] The main reason for this situation is that the prior art lacks an adaptive strategy to automatically deal with the inconsistency of the port modes at both ends of the communication

When the port mode is inconsistent, the existing technology does not make further processing, so that the connection establishment fails
