[0045] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0046] As a server core control system, the BMC needs to configure the LLDP function of the network card. At present, the main ways to configure the LLDP function of the network card through the BMC are: 1. According to the technical documents provided by the network card manufacturer, the network card model is matched through ID information to identify; 2. Analyze the LLDP mode of the network card: a. For onboard network cards, according to user configuration, generate a configuration file to / ncsi / LldpStatus, and then configure the network card LLDP function switch through reading and writing LLDP Status; b. According to the user configuration, use I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit, I2C bus) to directly read and write the register, and write the corresponding data to the LLDP switch register and mode register of some external network cards, so as to configure the LLDP function switch and network card LLDP transceiver mode; c. Through MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol) over PCI-E (Peripheral Component Interface Express) to obtain external network card information, and according to user configuration to generate a file to / var / lldp_set, realize the LLDP function configuration of the network card; 3. BMC R&D personnel develop and write function function code according to the switch mode of network cards of different manufacturers to realize the adaptation of data flow and function module.

[0047] However, the above configuration methods have the following disadvantages: first, according to customer needs, the network card manufacturer type and adaptation classification need to be determined one by one by referring to the technical documents, and the repeated execution of similar structure programming is accompanied by high redundancy, which has the characteristics of high code reusability but low actual reuse degree; second, for different network cards, different functions and data flow directions need to be written according to the LLDP function configuration mode of different network card manufacturers, and the engineering logic branches are increasingly complex according to the increase in the number of adaptation of different network card manufacturers, which greatly hinders subsequent maintenance, and the cost of familiarizing and combing the code will also be greatly improved; third, with the continuous iteration of business, the function module code will gradually accumulate, and at the later stage, it will form problems such as large code size, many branches and complex customized definition, and once the function needs to be debugged and problem located, it will cause a lot of time cost waste for R&D personnel and occupy R&D human resources; fourth, the whole process of adaptation from name to specific function needs to be performed for each newly added network card manufacturer, and when the project is urgent, there are problems such as time being tight, code amount being large, and coding being prone to omissions due to unclear structure, which increases the project delivery risk and engineering quality problem to some extent.

[0048] Therefore, the present application provides a network card link layer discovery protocol configuration scheme, which can reduce code redundancy and improve reusability according to user needs and specific configuration methods of network cards.

[0049] The embodiment of the application discloses a network card link layer discovery protocol configuration method, which is applied to a baseboard management controller, and refers to Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0050] In step S11, a network card configuration request initiated by a current user for a preset unified network card configuration interface is acquired, and a network card configuration type corresponding to the network card configuration request is determined; wherein the preset unified network card configuration interface is an interface in which network card information of different manufacturers is converged into an aggregation function in advance.

[0051] With the development of network technology, the types of devices accessing the network are more and more, the configuration is more and more complex, and devices from different device manufacturers often increase their own unique functions, which leads to the fact that there are often many devices with different characteristics from different manufacturers in a network. In order to facilitate the management of such a network, it is necessary to enable devices from different manufacturers to discover and interact with each other's system and configuration information in the network. Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a protocol for this purpose. LLDP is defined in 802.1ab and is a layer 2 protocol that provides a standard link layer discovery method. LLDP protocol enables a device accessing a network to send its main capabilities such as management address, device identification, interface identification and other information to other devices accessing the same local network. When a device receives the information of other devices from the network, it stores the information in the form of MIB.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, the application is applied to a baseboard management controller (BMC). It can be understood that the BMC and the IPMI are basic core function subsystems of a server, responsible for core functions such as hardware state management, operating system management, health state management, and power consumption management of the server. The IPMI is an on-board component that can operate independently of the host system CPU (Central Processing Unit / Processor), BIOS (Basic Input Output System), UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), and OS (Operating System), and therefore, the interaction with other components such as the BIOS / UEFI, CPU, and the like is completed via the IPMI. The BMC, as a core component of the IPMI, often needs to configure the LLDP of the important peripheral network card of the server. In order to overcome the high redundancy caused by repeatedly performing programming of similar structures to adapt to network cards of different manufacturers, the embodiments of the present application provide services to the outside in the form of a preset unified network card configuration interface with network card information of different manufacturers. A user can initiate a configuration network card LLDP request to the preset unified network card configuration interface, so as to simplify the code logic.

[0053] It should be noted that the preset unified network card configuration interface is an interface in which network card information of different manufacturers is converged into an aggregation function, wherein the network card information can include not only configuration information of network cards of different manufacturers, but also configuration information of different configuration methods when configuring the LLDP of different network cards. The configuration information is converged into the aggregation function as the network card configuration interface, wherein only a part of the differentiated function implementation modules are retained, that is, the modules for performing the network card configuration type corresponding to different network card configuration requests are executed for the network card configuration request initiated by the current user.

[0054] Step S12: performing a differentiated configuration function corresponding to the aggregation function according to the network card configuration type, so as to configure the link layer discovery protocol switch state of the network card and the link layer discovery protocol working mode of the network card by using the differentiated configuration function.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the differential function implementation module for performing the different network card configuration requests corresponding to the network card configuration types is reserved in the aggregation function, and mainly through the differential configuration function, the link layer discovery protocol switch state of the network card and the link layer discovery protocol working mode of the network card are configured. It can be understood that configuring the link layer discovery protocol switch state of the network card means setting the state to on or off; configuring the link layer discovery protocol working mode of the network card means setting the working mode to Tx (only sending but not receiving), Rx (only receiving but not sending) or TxRx (both receiving and sending).

[0056] Step S13: When the link layer discovery protocol switch state and the link layer discovery protocol working mode configuration are completed, the execution result is obtained, so that the target management interface calls according to the execution result through the intelligent platform management interface command.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, if the current user configuration is completed, the user can initiate a request to read the LLDP function state, which is convenient for other users to understand the network card function state when using, and also makes it convenient for operation and maintenance personnel to understand the function state of the network card. At the same time, the execution result after configuring the link layer discovery protocol switch state of the network card and the link layer discovery protocol working mode of the network card is returned to the preset unified network card configuration interface, so that the BMC and the bottom layer of each type of network card are interacted by the differential configuration function, and the execution result is standardized and returned to the network card configuration interface, which realizes the unity of the code architecture except the differential configuration module, and presents the unified result echo of different network cards to the user.

[0058] It should be pointed out that the embodiment of the present application matches the IPMI command that can be executed out-of-band for the preset unified network card configuration interface, and directly provides the restful or redfish interface call to simplify the code logic. Specifically, when the link layer discovery protocol switch state and the link layer discovery protocol working mode configuration are completed, the execution result is standardized and the standardized execution result is obtained, so that the Restful interface or the Redfish interface calls according to the standardized execution result through the intelligent platform management interface command.

[0059] As Figure 2 shown is a full flow diagram for realizing user operation. In the baseboard management controller, the network card LLDP is configured by using the preset unified network card configuration interface, and the function is transplanted to the restful or redfish interface to realize the full flow of user operation.

[0060] The application provides a network card link layer discovery protocol configuration method applied to a baseboard management controller, including: obtaining a network card configuration request initiated by a current user for a preset unified network card configuration interface, and determining a network card configuration type corresponding to the network card configuration request; wherein the preset unified network card configuration interface is an interface in which network card information of different manufacturers is converged into an aggregation function in advance; a corresponding differentiated configuration function in the aggregation function is executed according to the network card configuration type, so as to configure a link layer discovery protocol switch state of a network card and a link layer discovery protocol working mode of the network card by using the differentiated configuration function; when the link layer discovery protocol switch state and the link layer discovery protocol working mode are configured, an execution result is obtained, so that a target management interface calls according to the execution result through an intelligent platform management interface command. It can be seen that the application scheme proposes a set of engineering framework with high multiplexity and clear architecture, different network card manufacturer link layer discovery protocol function configuration modes are written, different network card information is converged into an aggregation function as a network card configuration interface for calling by an external target management interface, engineering logic is simplified, code architecture is clearer, public requests and business logic are extracted according to customer needs and specific network card configuration modes, code redundancy is reduced, multiplexity is improved, and subsequent maintenance difficulty and code familiarization and sorting cost can also be reduced. In addition, only the differentiated configuration function in the aggregation function is used to execute the configuration of the link layer discovery protocol switch state and the link layer discovery protocol working mode of different network cards, which can shorten the research and development cycle of research and development personnel for the full process adaptation of new network card manufacturers from name to function, and reduce coding omissions and other problems caused by large code amount and unclear structure, thereby reducing project delivery risk to a certain extent.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The application is applied to a baseboard management controller, wherein the preset unified network card configuration interface is determined, including:

[0062] Step S21: obtaining respective manufacturer identifiers of network cards of different manufacturers, and counting the network cards and the manufacturer identifiers to determine attribute information of the network cards.

[0063] In the application embodiment, different manufacturer network cards are stored as an information configuration table to determine attribute information of the network cards. The table contains network card ID (Identity document, identity number) information for matching the network cards, and contains manufacturer information (Vendor ID) of the network cards, specific models, network port numbers, network port types and network port rates, etc. The network card information matching display is a public business logic, and the BMC extracts and perfects it into a unified module.

[0064] Step S22: Obtain the respective link layer discovery protocol switch state and the configuration mode of the link layer discovery protocol working mode when the link layer discovery protocol configuration is performed for the network card.

[0065] In the embodiments of the present application, different network cards have different configuration methods. Therefore, for the user to perform the network card device LLDP function operation through the BMC, the BMC combines the configuration methods of different network card manufacturers. When the user performs a request to configure the network card LLDP, the user LLDP setting content should include the LLDP switch state and the LLDP working mode. After the analysis, the attribute information of the network card is transmitted to the preset unified network card configuration interface.

[0066] Step S23: Match the configuration mode with the attribute information to obtain the network card configuration table, and then determine the preset unified network card configuration interface according to the network card configuration table.

[0067] In the embodiments of the present application, after obtaining the attribute information of the network card and the configuration mode of different network cards, the network card configuration table is determined by matching. In this way, the preset unified network card configuration interface is determined according to the network card configuration table, and the network card information to be matched by the current user is determined by cyclically matching the network card configuration table.

[0068] It should be pointed out that on the basis of the network card configuration table, an additional external configuration file reading sub-function module is provided. As shown in Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 6, the user can upload the configuration file through the web, and can also upload the configuration file through the redfish interface using the SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) server. The user uploads the configuration file to the temporary directory, and the BMC checks the configuration file uploaded by the user in the temporary directory. Specifically, the legality is checked by the file size, file format, character type and string length. After the verification, the configuration file is moved to the configuration file storage directory. If the verification is not passed, the user will be prompted that the file is illegal and the file in the temporary directory will be deleted.

[0069] Specifically, an update configuration file uploaded by the current user is acquired and stored in a staging directory; legality verification is performed on the update configuration file, if the legality verification of the update configuration file passes, the update configuration file under the staging directory is moved to the network card configuration table to update the network card configuration table; if the legality verification of the update configuration file does not pass, the current user is instructed to delete the update configuration file under the staging directory. It can be seen that the user only needs to upload an update configuration file by himself to add network card information to the configuration table, so that the BMC automatically reads the configuration table to update the network card information, and then completes the new network card LLDP function deployment. In this way, the development agility and the rapid adaptation of the user's needs are improved.

[0070] The embodiment of the application discloses a specific network card link layer discovery protocol configuration method, which is applied to a baseboard management controller, as shown in Figure 5 The method comprises the following steps:

[0071] Step S31: A network card configuration request initiated by a current user for a preset unified network card configuration interface is acquired, and it is determined that a network card configuration type corresponding to the network card configuration request is an I2C operation register mode; or, it is determined that the network card configuration type corresponding to the network card configuration request is a configuration file generation mode.

[0072] In the embodiment of the application, for different manufacturer network cards, only a part of differentiated function implementation modules is retained in an aggregation function of the unified network card configuration interface provided externally, which is mainly divided into two categories, namely, an I2C operation register mode and a configuration file generation mode.

[0073] Step S32: If the network card configuration type is the I2C operation register mode, a preset register address configuration table is acquired, and the preset register address configuration table is polled and matched to determine a target register address corresponding to the network card.

[0074] For the configuration mode of the I2C operation register, because the device address and the specific register address of different manufacturer network cards are different, a register address configuration table is maintained in the embodiment of the application, and the register information of the network card of this type is stored in the form of a structure array. When a user request action is executed, data reaches the function, and I2C BUS polling matching of the network card device address is performed. It can be understood that there are many BUSs under the server, and the network card can be inserted into many zone card slots, and the position is uncertain, so the specific position of the network card is determined by polling, and after the position of the network card is located, the register address of the network port corresponding to the network port number modified by the user is matched.

[0075] Step S33: write the configuration content of the current user into the register according to the target register address, so as to configure the link layer discovery protocol switch state of the network card and the link layer discovery protocol working mode of the network card.

[0076] In the embodiment of the application, after the position of the network card is located, the register address of the corresponding network port is matched according to the network port serial number modified by the user, and then the write_buf is used to write the register according to the user configuration content. The operation is divided into two steps, the first step is the LLDP switch attribute register operation, and the second step is the LLDP working mode attribute register operation.

[0077] Step S34: if the network card configuration type is the generated configuration file mode, a preset file configuration table is obtained, and the current configuration file name is determined according to the network card information configured by the current user.

[0078] For the generated configuration file mode, there is no big difference in the file content in the generated configuration file mode, mainly including the LLDP switch attribute and the LLDP function mode. The difference mainly lies in the generated configuration file name and the storage position, so in the embodiment of the application, a file configuration table of the configuration file is maintained. The preset file configuration table is determined by the configuration file name of the configuration file stored in different positions. The network card manufacturer and the model are matched according to the user request content, and the current configuration file name is determined.

[0079] Step S35: the preset file configuration table is matched through the current configuration file name, the file position of the current configuration file is determined, and then based on the file position, the corresponding configuration file is created according to the current configuration file name by using the file function, so as to configure the link layer discovery protocol switch state of the network card and the link layer discovery protocol working mode of the network card.

[0080] In the embodiment of the application, the current configuration file name is used to match the preset file configuration table, the file position of the current configuration file is determined, and then the file in the configuration file table of the corresponding network card is created by using the file function, and the user LLDP configuration content is written.

[0081] As Figure 6 As shown in the whole network card LLDP configuration schematic diagram, the unified preset network card information configuration interface is used to match the IPMI command to provide services externally, and in the internal part, different configuration modes are executed by using the differentiated configuration function, the execution result is returned to the interface after the execution is completed, the engineering logic is simplified by using the scheme, the code architecture is more clear, and the difficulty of subsequent maintenance and the cost of code familiarization and carding are reduced.

[0082] Step S36: When the link layer discovery protocol switch state and the link layer discovery protocol working mode configuration are completed, an execution result is obtained, so that the target management interface calls according to the execution result through an intelligent platform management interface command.

[0083] More specific processes about the above step S36 can refer to the corresponding contents disclosed in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be described here in detail.

[0084] The application provides a network card link layer discovery protocol configuration method applied to a baseboard management controller, including: obtaining a network card configuration request initiated by a current user for a preset unified network card configuration interface, and determining that a network card configuration type corresponding to the network card configuration request is an I2C operation register mode; or, determining that the network card configuration type corresponding to the network card configuration request is a configuration file generation mode; if the network card configuration type is the I2C operation register mode, obtaining a preset register address configuration table, and performing polling matching on the preset register address configuration table to determine a target register address corresponding to the network card; writing configuration content of the current user into a register according to the target register address, so as to configure a link layer discovery protocol switch state of the network card and a link layer discovery protocol working mode of the network card; if the network card configuration type is the configuration file generation mode, obtaining a preset file configuration table, and determining a current configuration file name according to network card information corresponding to the current user; performing traversal matching on the preset file configuration table through the current configuration file name, determining a file position of the current configuration file, and then creating a corresponding configuration file according to the current configuration file name based on the file position by using a file function, so as to configure the link layer discovery protocol switch state of the network card and the link layer discovery protocol working mode of the network card; when the link layer discovery protocol switch state and the link layer discovery protocol working mode are configured, an execution result is obtained, so that a target management interface calls according to the execution result through an intelligent platform management interface command. It can be seen that the application scheme proposes an engineering framework with high multiplexity and clear architecture, different network card manufacturer link layer discovery protocol function configuration modes are written, different network card information is converged into an aggregation function as a network card configuration interface for calling of an external target management interface, engineering logic is simplified, code architecture is clearer, public requests and business logic are extracted according to customer demand and specific network card configuration mode, code redundancy is reduced, multiplexity is improved, and subsequent maintenance difficulty and code familiarization and analysis cost can also be reduced. In addition, only by executing configuration of the link layer discovery protocol switch state and the link layer discovery protocol working mode of different network cards through a differentiated configuration function in the aggregation function, the research and development cycle of a research and development personnel for full-process adaptation from name to function of a newly added network card manufacturer can be shortened, and coding omissions and other problems caused by large code amount and unclear structure are reduced, and project delivery risk is reduced to a certain extent.

[0085] Correspondingly, the application also discloses a network card link layer discovery protocol configuration device, referring to Figure 7 The device includes:
