Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of switches, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and medium for controlling a switch. Background Art

[0002] White box switches usually connect, access, and manage devices through the Teletype Network (Telnet) or Secure Shell (SSH). The above two switch connection methods require the switch to be connected to the serial port server or the existing network environment through serial cables and network cables respectively, so that operation and maintenance or test personnel can access the device. For the scenario of multiple switches interconnected, the service ports are usually interconnected through optical modules, active optical cables (AOC), and direct attach cables (DAC) to achieve the purpose of network topology.

[0003] In both cases, whether it is a stand-alone or networked environment, serial port servers, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers, optical fibers, optical modules and other media connections are required to enable operation and maintenance personnel to access and manage the switch. In the case of a stand-alone machine or when the network cable, serial port cable, DHCP server and serial port server are missing, the switch cannot be connected, resulting in the inability of operation and maintenance personnel to access and manage the switch equipment.

[0052] In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention further provides a computer program product, including a computer program / instruction, which implements the steps of the above method for controlling a switch when executed by a processor.

[0056] In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the above method for controlling a switch are implemented.

[0057] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that in the method, a wireless module is set in the switch. For a single-machine device, the wireless terminal device can be wirelessly connected to the single-machine access environment without a medium connection, thereby realizing the operation and management of the single-machine device; for a networking environment, the slave switch and the wireless terminal device are wirelessly connected to the networking of the master switch, thereby realizing the access of the wireless terminal device to the switch in the networking. In this method, a single switch can be managed and controlled without the help of a network cable, a serial port cable or other external devices, which greatly improves the efficiency of equipment operation and maintenance, improves the feasibility of equipment management under extreme conditions, and reduces the dependence of switch management on other devices; secondly, the Internet Protocol address of the control platform of the master switch, the Internet Protocol address of the slave switch and the Internet Protocol address of the wireless terminal device are set to be the same, so that devices in the same subnet can communicate directly without the intervention of a router or gateway, reducing communication delays and improving efficiency.

[0058] In addition, when it is detected that the control platform of the master switch obtains the Internet Protocol address, the wireless terminal device is controlled to access the networking environment of the master device through a wired manner, thereby improving the reliability of communication.

[0059] The control master switch checks the Internet Protocol address of the control platform and / or checks the network management port message, and determines whether the control platform of the master switch has obtained or not obtained the Internet Protocol address based on the Internet Protocol address and / or the network management port message. The detection process reduces the possibility of human configuration errors and improves the stability of the network.

[0060] When determining the master control device, it is detected whether there is a wireless signal in the current networking environment. If there is no wireless signal, the master switch is determined to be the master control device, ensuring the existence of a master control device in the networking system and realizing centralized management and control of other devices in the network.

[0061] When a wireless signal is detected in the current networking environment, the master control device is determined to be one of the remaining switches. When the master control device is determined, at least one slave switch is controlled to send a connection request, and the switch that responds to the connection request of the slave switch is used as the master control device; after controlling at least one slave switch to send a connection request, starting from detecting that the slave switch sends a connection request, if no switch that responds to the connection request of the slave switch is detected within a preset time, prompt information for indicating setting the master control device is sent to the user, and the step of controlling at least one slave switch to send a connection request is returned, or the master control device is used as the master control switch, thereby accurately determining the master control device.

[0062] After controlling the master switch to allocate the Internet Protocol addresses of the target network segments to the wireless terminal device and the slave switch respectively, by verifying whether the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module on the wireless terminal device is the same as the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module in the master switch, and verifying whether the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module on the slave switch is the same as the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module in the master switch, it is ensured that both the wireless terminal device and the slave switch are connected to the network.

[0063] The wireless modules in the master switch, the slave switch and the wireless terminal device are all provided with buttons for starting and shutting down the wireless modules. By operating the buttons for starting and shutting down the wireless modules, the wireless modules on the master switch, the slave switch and the wireless terminal device are started. The wireless connection method is simple and the switch management efficiency is improved.

[0064] By arranging an indicating device on the wireless module, the connection status of the switch can be accurately reflected through the information displayed by the indicating device, so that the user can intuitively understand the status of the switch.

[0065] The control main switch is controlled to check the Internet Protocol address of the control platform and / or the network management port message according to a fixed inspection cycle, and after controlling the wireless terminal device to access and manage at least one switch in the local area network, it continues to return to the step of controlling the main switch to check the Internet Protocol address of the control platform and / or the network management port message, and according to the situation of detecting the Internet Protocol address and / or the network management port message and the current interaction mode in the networking environment, the main switch periodically checks the network management port message and the Internet Protocol address of the control platform, so that it can switch between wired and wireless states to achieve the purpose of switch management and operation and maintenance.

[0066] In addition, the present invention also provides a computer program product, a device for controlling a switch, and a computer-readable storage medium, which have the same or corresponding technical features as the above-mentioned method for controlling a switch, and have the same effects as above.

[0073] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0074] The core of the present invention is to provide a method, device, equipment and medium for controlling a switch to solve the technical problem that when a single machine or a network cable, serial port cable, DHCP server and serial port server are missing, the switch cannot be connected, resulting in the inability of operation and maintenance personnel to access and manage the switch equipment.

[0075] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an interactive scenario of a switch provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, this interactive scenario involves a master switch, a slave switch, and a wireless terminal device. The management port and serial port of the relevant switch are usually connected to the upstream DHCP server and serial port server respectively, and the operation and maintenance personnel use Telnet or SSH to connect or access the device by wire. This solution requires a complete operation and maintenance environment including network cables, serial port cables, DHCP servers, serial port servers, and terminal management devices. However, in the case of a single machine or when the network cable, serial port cable, DHCP server, or serial port server is missing, the switch cannot be connected, resulting in the inability of the operation and maintenance personnel to access and manage the device, which may cause the problem of locating or recovering the device in a timely manner.

[0076] Therefore, the present invention provides a method for controlling a switch, so that operation and maintenance personnel can complete switch connection and management without network cables, serial port cables or other devices.

[0077] In order to make the technical personnel in this field better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It is worth noting that in the present invention, both the switch and the terminal device include a wireless module. Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for controlling a switch provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0078] S10: When it is detected that the control platform of the master switch fails to obtain the Internet Protocol address, the wireless module in the master switch is controlled to allocate the Internet Protocol address of the same network segment to the control platform of the master switch and the wireless module in the master switch is controlled to start;

[0079] S11: Control the wireless terminal device and the slave switch to access the networking environment of the master control device via wireless mode, and control the master control switch to allocate Internet protocol addresses of target network segments to the wireless terminal device and the slave switch, respectively; wherein the target network segment is the same as the network segment of the control platform of the master control switch;

[0080] S12: Control the access and management operation of the wireless terminal device to at least one switch in the local area network.

[0081] Each switch can be set to two roles, one is the control platform (Controller) and the other is the agent (Agent). Which device is the master switch is set by the user. When choosing the master switch, it mainly depends on the topology that the user wants to establish and whether there is another control platform in the current network environment. If there is, two control platforms cannot be set up in one networking environment at the same time.

[0082] After the master switch is determined, the other switches in the networking environment are slave switches. In order to determine the switch devices in a stand-alone or non-network environment and the devices whose network management ports are connected to the DHCP server, in implementation, the detection of whether the control platform of the master switch obtains the Internet Protocol address includes:

[0083] Control the master switch to check the Internet Protocol address of the control platform and / or check the network management port message;

[0084] If an Internet Protocol address and / or a network management port message is detected, it is determined that the control platform of the master switch has acquired the Internet Protocol address;

[0085] If the Internet Protocol address and the network management port message are not detected, it is determined that the control platform of the master switch has not obtained the Internet Protocol address.

[0086] In order to more accurately identify the switch devices in the stand-alone or non-network environment and the devices whose network management ports are connected to the DHCP server, set a fixed inspection cycle; control the main control switch to check the Internet Protocol address of the control platform and / or check the network management port message according to the fixed inspection cycle. There is no limit on the fixed inspection cycle, which is determined according to the actual situation.

[0087] That is, after the master switch is powered on, it checks the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the control platform (such as the baseboard management controller (BMC)) and the DHCP message of the network management port. The check results are divided into two situations: 1) For stand-alone or non-network switch devices, the BMC cannot obtain the address assigned by the upstream server, and the terminal device cannot access the switch through a wired method; 2) For devices with a DHCP server connected to the network management port, the control platform of the master switch can dynamically obtain the Internet Protocol address, and the terminal device can access and manage the switch through a wired method.

[0088] When it is detected that the control platform of the master switch obtains the Internet Protocol address, the wireless terminal device is controlled to access the networking environment of the master device via a wired manner, and the access and management operations of the wireless terminal device to at least one switch in the local area network are controlled.

[0089] When it is detected that the control platform of the master switch has not obtained the Internet Protocol address, the wireless module in the master switch is first controlled to allocate the Internet Protocol address of the same network segment to the control platform of the master switch and control the wireless module in the master switch to start, and then the wireless terminal device and the slave switch are controlled to access the networking environment of the master device through wireless means.

[0090] It is worth noting that before controlling the wireless terminal device and the slave switch to access the networking environment of the master device through wireless means, the master device in the networking environment must be determined first. The user can specify the master device in the networking environment. In order to determine the master device, in the implementation, when it is detected that the master switch starts the wireless module, the master switch is controlled to scan the wireless signal in the current networking environment;

[0091] If a wireless signal is detected in the current networking environment, the master control device is determined to be one of the remaining switches; wherein the remaining switches are switches other than the master control switch among all switches in the current networking environment;

[0092] If it is detected that there is no wireless signal in the current networking environment, it is determined that the master control device is the master switch.

[0093] When it is determined that the master device is one of the remaining switches, the user inputs information of the current master device to the master switch and the slave switch. In order to realize the automation of the interaction scene, after determining that the master device is one of the remaining switches, the following is also included:

[0094] Controlling at least one slave switch to send a connection request; wherein different slave switches do not respond to connection requests sent by other slave switches;

[0095] The switch that responds to the connection request of the slave switch is obtained, and the switch that responds to the connection request of the slave switch is used as a master control device.

[0096] That is, in this method, the master control device is determined by the switch sending a connection request and responding to the connection request, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of determining the master control device.

[0097] In practice, although a wireless signal is detected in the current networking environment, no switch responds to the connection request when a connection request is sent, and the master device cannot be determined. To avoid this situation, after controlling at least one slave switch to send a connection request, the following steps are further included:

[0098] Since the detection of the connection request sent by the slave switch, if no switch responding to the connection request of the slave switch is detected within the preset time, a prompt message for indicating the setting of the master control device is sent to the user, and the step of controlling at least one slave switch to send a connection request is returned, or the master control device is used as the master switch.

[0099] There is no limit on the preset time length, which is determined according to the actual situation. If no switch responding to the connection request of the slave switch is detected within the preset time length, the user can be prompted to set the master device, or the master switch can be directly used as the master device, ensuring that there is a master device in the networking environment, so that other devices in the network can be centrally managed and controlled.

[0100] After the master control device is determined, the wireless terminal device and the slave switch are controlled to access the networking environment of the master control device by wireless means, and the master control switch is controlled to allocate the Internet protocol address of the target network segment to the wireless terminal device and the slave switch respectively; wherein the target network segment is the same as the network segment of the control platform of the master control switch. That is, the wireless terminal device and the slave switch both start the corresponding wireless module and join the networking environment of the master control device.

[0101] In order to determine whether the wireless terminal device is connected to the network, in implementation, after controlling the master switch to allocate the Internet protocol address of the target network segment to the wireless terminal device and the slave switch respectively, it also includes:

[0102] Obtaining the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module on the wireless terminal device;

[0103] If it is detected that the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module on the wireless terminal device is the same as the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module in the main control switch, it is determined that the wireless terminal device is connected to the networking environment of the main control device;

[0104] If it is detected that the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module on the wireless terminal device is different from the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module in the main control switch, it is determined that the wireless terminal device is not connected to the networking environment of the main control device, and the control returns to the networking environment of the wireless terminal device to access the main control device, and controls the main control switch to allocate the Internet Protocol address of the target network segment to the wireless terminal device.

[0105] Similarly, judging whether the slave switch is connected to the network, in implementation, after controlling the master switch to allocate the Internet protocol address of the target network segment to the wireless terminal device and the slave switch respectively, further includes:

[0106] Get the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module from the switch;

[0107] If it is detected that the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module on the slave switch is the same as the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module in the master switch, it is determined that the slave switch is connected to the networking environment of the master device;

[0108] If it is detected that the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module on the slave switch is different from the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module in the master switch, it is determined that the slave switch is not connected to the networking environment of the master device, and the control returns to the networking environment of the slave switch to connect to the master device, and controls the master switch to allocate the Internet Protocol address of the target network segment to the slave switch.

[0109] In the method, after controlling the master switch to allocate the Internet Protocol address of the target network segment to the wireless terminal device and the slave switch respectively, by verifying whether the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module on the wireless terminal device is the same as the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module in the master switch, and verifying whether the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module on the slave switch is the same as the Internet Protocol address of the wireless module in the master switch, it is ensured that the wireless terminal device and the slave switch are both connected to the network.

[0110] In order to start the wireless module in the master switch, the wireless module of the slave switch and the wireless terminal device. In implementation, controlling the wireless module startup in the master switch includes:

[0111] Enter the feature code (i.e. network password) into the wireless module in the master switch;

[0112] When it is detected that the input feature code is the same as the preset feature code, determining to start the wireless module in the main control switch;

[0113] When it is detected that the input feature code is different from the preset feature code, a new feature code is obtained, and the process returns to the step of inputting the feature code into the wireless module in the master switch.

[0114] Before controlling the wireless terminal device and the slave switch to access the networking environment of the master device through wireless mode, it also includes:

[0115] Inputting a characteristic code (i.e., a network password) into a wireless module in each device, wherein each device includes a slave switch and a wireless terminal device;

[0116] When it is detected that the input feature code is the same as the preset feature code, the wireless module in the startup device is determined; and the steps of controlling the wireless terminal device and the slave switch to access the networking environment of the main control device through wireless mode are entered;

[0117] If it is detected that the input feature code is different from the preset feature code, a new feature code is obtained, and the process returns to the step of inputting the feature code into the wireless module in each device.

[0118] There is no limitation on the feature code, which is determined according to the actual situation. The wireless module corresponding to each device is started by inputting the feature code into each wireless module, thereby ensuring the security of starting the wireless module and the security of the device.

[0119] In addition to the above-mentioned method of starting the wireless module of each device by inputting a feature code, in order to improve the efficiency of starting the wireless module, the wireless module in the master switch, the wireless module of the slave switch and the wireless module of the wireless terminal device are all provided with a key for indicating starting and shutting down the wireless module. Controlling the start of the wireless module in the master switch includes:

[0120] In response to the user's start-up operation on a key on the wireless module in the master switch, which is used to indicate starting and shutting down the wireless module, the wireless module in the master switch is started.

[0121] Before controlling the wireless terminal device and the slave switch to access the networking environment of the master device through wireless mode, it also includes:

[0122] Responding to the user's start-up operation of a key on the wireless module in the wireless terminal device, which is used to represent the start-up and shutdown of the wireless module, to start the wireless module in the wireless terminal device; and responding to the user's start-up operation of a key on the wireless module in the slave switch, which is used to represent the start-up and shutdown of the wireless module, to start the wireless module in the slave switch; entering the steps of controlling the wireless terminal device and the slave switch to access the networking environment of the main control device through wireless mode.

[0123] In the embodiment of the present invention, the button used to represent starting and shutting down the wireless module is called Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Security Protection Setup (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), or WPS for short. WPS enables a device to connect to a Wi-Fi network by pressing a button without having to manually enter the Wi-Fi network password, making connecting to a Wi-Fi network more convenient and faster.

[0124] At the same time, in order to facilitate the user to intuitively understand the connection status of the switch, the wireless module of the switch is also provided with an indicator device for indicating the connection status of the switch. The indicator device is not limited, such as an indicator light. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a wireless module on a switch provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, an indicator device and a button for indicating starting and shutting down the wireless module are provided on the wireless module of the switch.

[0125] When it is detected that the wireless module of the master switch is not started, the control indicating device displays the first information;

[0126] When it is detected that the wireless module of the master switch is started and is not connected, the control indicating device displays the second information;

[0127] After determining that the master control device is the master switch, controlling the indicating device to display the third information;

[0128] After determining that the master control device is one of the remaining switches, the control indicating device displays fourth information; wherein the first information, the second information, the third information and the fourth information are all different.

[0129] The above only lists the displays of the indicating device in several scenarios. In practice, the indicating device may also display different information in other scenarios to indicate the connection status of the switch.

[0130] In practice, there are serial port servers, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers, optical fibers, optical modules and other media that enable access and management of switches; however, one or more of the above media may fail, resulting in failure to connect to the switch, and after a period of time, the failed media returns to normal, allowing the switch to be connected by wire. Therefore, after controlling the access and management operations of the wireless terminal device to at least one switch in the local area network, it also includes:

[0131] Return to the step of controlling the main control switch to check the Internet Protocol address of the control platform and / or check the network management port message, and obtain the current interaction mode in the networking environment; wherein the interaction mode includes a wireless interaction mode and a wired interaction mode;

[0132] If no Internet Protocol address and / or network management port message is detected and the current interaction mode is a wireless interaction mode, the step of controlling the wireless module in the master switch to allocate an Internet Protocol address of the same network segment to the control platform of the master switch is entered;

[0133] If no Internet Protocol address and / or network management port message is detected, and the current interaction mode is a wired interaction mode, the control platform of the master switch is controlled to switch from a wired interaction state to a wireless interaction state, and the step of controlling the wireless module in the master switch to allocate an Internet Protocol address of the same network segment to the control platform of the master switch is entered;

[0134] When an Internet Protocol address and / or a network management port message is detected and the current interaction mode is a wireless interaction mode, the control platform of the control main switch is switched from a wireless interaction state to a wired interaction state, and the step of controlling the wireless terminal device to access the networking environment of the main control device through a wired mode is entered;

[0135] When an Internet Protocol address and / or a network management port message is detected and the current interaction mode is a wired interaction mode, the step of controlling the wireless terminal device to access the networking environment of the main control device through a wired mode is entered.

[0136] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. In the embodiment of the present invention, a solution for a switch under stand-alone and networking conditions is proposed, where the switch is used as a wireless access point (AP) hotspot, a wireless module is added, and the wireless module has a button for indicating the start and stop of the wireless module and an indicator for indicating the connection status of the switch.

[0137] The following takes the case where the button used to represent starting and shutting down the wireless module is a wireless fidelity security protection setting button (i.e., a WPS button), and the indicator device used to represent the connection status of the switch is a light emitting diode (LED) as an example to illustrate the overall solution for controlling the switch provided by the present invention.

[0138] The switch has a new wireless module, which has a WPS button and an LED indicator light. The LED indicator light has three colors:

[0139] When the wireless module of the switch is not started, the LED indicator lights up red;

[0140] When the switch starts the wireless module but is not connected, the LED indicator flashes yellow;

[0141] When the switch is connected to the networking environment as a master device, the LED indicator lights up green. When the switch is connected to the networking environment as a controlled device, the LED lights up yellow.

[0142] When the wireless module of the master switch is started, the terminal devices and slave switches can access the wireless network of the switch through WPS, thereby achieving access to the switches in the network.

[0143] Figure 4 A flow chart of a switch management method based on a wireless local area network provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0144] S13: The master switch checks the Internet protocol address of the baseboard management controller and the message of the network management port;

[0145] S14: Determine whether the baseboard management controller obtains the address; if so, proceed to step S15; if not, proceed to step S21;

[0146] S15: The device automatically assigns an Internet Protocol address in the same network segment as the wireless module to the baseboard management controller;

[0147] S16: The master switch presses the wireless fidelity security protection setting button;

[0148] S17: The wireless terminal device presses the wireless fidelity security protection setting button to access the networking environment of the master control device;

[0149] S18: The switch acts as a wireless hotspot to assign Internet Protocol addresses to wireless terminal devices, and the network segment is consistent with the baseboard management controller network segment;

[0150] S19: Access the networking environment of the master switch from the slave switch to obtain the same Internet Protocol address as the wireless terminal device and the master device;

[0151] S20: The wireless terminal device accesses the master and slave switch baseboard management controllers through the secure shell protocol to upload images, restart, upgrade, etc. to the switches;

[0152] S21: The baseboard management controller obtains the address, and the wireless terminal device accesses the switch in a wired manner;

[0153] S22: The wireless terminal device accesses the baseboard management controller through a wired secure shell protocol connection to manage the device.

[0154] After step S20 and step S22, the process may return to step S13.

[0155] The method proposes a method in which a switch is used as an AP hotspot and a wireless terminal device operates, maintains and manages the switch by accessing the switch local area network. The method specifically includes:

[0156] Step 1: After the master switch is powered on, periodically check the BMC IP address and the DHCP message of the network management port;

[0157] Step 2: When the BMC fails to obtain an address, the main switch automatically configures the BMC's IP address to a static IP address in the same network segment as the wireless module.

[0158] Step 3. Press the WPS button on the master switch to start the wireless module. The master switch periodically scans nearby wireless signals to check whether there is a master device in the current environment. If there is a master device, it will automatically join the networking environment. If there is no master device, it will act as a Controller to network, and the indicator light will turn green and flash;

[0159] Step 4. Press the WPS button of the wireless terminal device and wait for the wireless terminal device to access the switch LAN. During the waiting process, the wireless indicator light flashes green. After the wireless indicator light turns green, check the connection status and IP address of the wireless terminal device. The wireless terminal device acts as an AP Client and the switch acts as a hotspot AP Server. The wireless module of the switch assigns an address in the same network segment as the BMC.

[0160] Step 5. Press the WPS button on the slave switch and wait for access. When access is completed, the master switch assigns an address to the slave switch.

[0161] Step 6: The wireless terminal device accesses the master switch BMC and slave switch BMC through SSH to upload images, restart, and upgrade the switches;

[0162] Step 7: The main control device performs periodic detection. If the DHCP message received by the network management port is detected, the BMC switches from the wireless state to the wired state, disconnects the connection with the wireless module of the switch, and obtains the IP address from the network management port instead. The wireless module indicator light is always red. If the address is still not obtained, the wireless terminal device still manages and operates the switch in a wireless manner. If the address has been obtained, the devices are accessed through wired.

[0163] In the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a wireless module is added to the switch, and the module includes a WPS button and a wireless status indicator light, and the master switch is set as an AP hotspot in the networking environment. The wireless terminal and the slave switch quickly access the switch local area network through the WPS method, thereby connecting to the switch's BMC. In response to the operation and maintenance of stand-alone equipment and networking environments, a single switch can be managed and controlled without the help of a network cable, a serial port cable or other external devices, which greatly improves the efficiency of equipment operation and maintenance, improves the feasibility of equipment management under extreme conditions, reduces the dependence of switch management on other devices, and saves equipment management costs; the WPS button method is used to allow terminal devices to access, simplify wireless connections, and do not require the input of complex passwords, which is an improvement in the efficiency of switch management; the master switch periodically checks the network management port message and the IP address of the BMC, so that it can switch between wired and wireless states to achieve the purpose of switch management and operation and maintenance.
