[0054] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. The present application provides a high-speed port testing method and device for use in the field of hardware testing technology. The above is only an example and does not limit the application field of the method and device provided by the present application.
[0055] Ethernet switches are network devices used to achieve data transmission and exchange. The main functions are: providing network interfaces for network devices to achieve interconnection between devices. Network interfaces can be expanded and stacked to meet network needs. Network range can be expanded, MAC addresses can be cached and mapped to corresponding ports, forwarding / filtering functions can be used, and loop elimination functions can be used. In the prior art, it is necessary to use a low-bandwidth Ethernet performance tester to perform performance tests on the low-speed ports of Ethernet switches, and to use a high-bandwidth Ethernet performance tester to perform performance tests on the high-speed ports of Ethernet switches. That is, two types of Ethernet performance testers are required to perform performance tests on the ports of Ethernet switches, and the testing cost is relatively high.
[0056] After research, the inventor proposed the technical solution of the present application. When executing the method, first obtain 2 high-speed ports and 2n low-speed ports, where n is an integer greater than 1; then, configure the virtual local area network VLAN for the 2 high-speed ports and the n low-speed ports respectively, and then configure the forwarding flow direction of the VLAN corresponding to the 2n low-speed ports; finally, test the first low-speed port and the 2n low-speed port to obtain the test results of the 2 high-speed ports. In this way, by configuring the low-speed port and the high-speed port with VLAN, and configuring the high-speed port and the low-speed port, the low-speed port and the high-speed port are connected with the VLAN, so as to achieve the purpose of completing the performance test of the high-speed port of the Ethernet switch using a low-bandwidth Ethernet performance tester, avoiding the use of high-bandwidth test instruments, and reducing the cost of testing the Ethernet switch port.
[0057] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. It should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the relevant invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0058] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a high-speed port testing method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:
[0059] S101: Acquire 2 high-speed ports and 2n low-speed ports.
[0060] The low-speed port is a 100M port or a 1000M port, and the high-speed port is a 1000M port or a 10G port.
[0061] Get 2 high-speed ports and 2n low-speed ports of the Ethernet switch, where n is an integer greater than 1. You can first number the 2n low-speed ports and the 2 high-speed ports, that is, number the 2n low-speed ports in order from 1 to 2n, and the number is an integer, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 for Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of an Ethernet switch provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the numbered 2n low-speed ports are respectively low-speed port P1, low-speed port P2, low-speed port P3, ..., low-speed port P2n-1, and low-speed port P2n. The two high-speed ports are respectively high-speed port X1 and high-speed port X2.
[0062] S102: Configure the two high-speed ports and n low-speed ports as virtual local area network VLANs respectively.
[0063] Configure VLANs for odd-numbered low-speed ports and the first high-speed port, and configure VLANs for even-numbered low-speed ports and the second high-speed port. That is, configure low-speed port P1 and high-speed port X1 as VLAN a0, low-speed port P3 and high-speed port X1 as VLAN a1, low-speed port P5 and high-speed port X1 as VLAN a2, and so on, low-speed port 2n-1 and high-speed port X1 as VLAN a(n-1); configure low-speed port P2 and high-speed port X2 as VLAN b0, low-speed port P4 and high-speed port X2 as VLAN b1, low-speed port P6 and high-speed port X2 as VLAN b2, and so on, low-speed port P2n and high-speed port X2 as VLAN b(n-1).
[0064] S103: Configure the forwarding direction of the VLANs corresponding to the 2n low-speed ports.
[0065] The VLANs corresponding to the 2n low-speed ports are configured for forwarding directions according to the order of the numbers of the 2n low-speed ports, that is, the VLANs corresponding to the two low-speed ports with adjacent numbers are configured to have a bidirectional forwarding relationship. Figure 2As shown in the figure, the forwarding direction relationship of the configured VLANs is VLAN a0, VLAN b0, VLAN a1, VLAN b1, VLAN a2, VLAN b2, ..., VLAN a(n-1), VLAN b(n-1). The specific configuration is as follows: configure VLAN a0 and VLAN b0 as a bidirectional forwarding relationship, configure VLAN b0 and VLAN a1 as a bidirectional forwarding relationship, configure VLAN a1 and VLAN b1 as a bidirectional forwarding relationship, and so on, configure VLAN a(n-1) and VLAN b(n-1) as a bidirectional forwarding relationship.
[0066] S104: By testing the first low-speed port and the 2nth low-speed port, test results of the two high-speed ports are obtained.
[0067] Before executing step S104, the low-speed ports except those numbered 1 and 2n among the 2n low-speed ports can be interconnected in pairs using cables according to the order of numbers; and the two high-speed ports can be interconnected using network cables. That is, the low-speed port P2 of the switch under test can be interconnected with the low-speed port P3, the low-speed port P4 can be interconnected with the low-speed port P5, the low-speed port P6 can be interconnected with the low-speed port P7, ... the low-speed port P2n-2 can be interconnected with the low-speed port P2n-1, and the high-speed ports X1 and X2 can be interconnected with the network cable.
[0068] It is also necessary to configure 2 high-speed ports as hybrid ports and 2n low-speed ports as Access ports. Access ports only allow one VLAN to pass through, while hybrid ports allow multiple VLANs to pass through. Configure the forwarding function of VLAN a1, VLAN a2, ... VLAN a(n-1) and VLAN b0, VLAN b1, ... VLAN b(n-2) as VLAN mapping relationships.
[0069] Finally, if Figure 2 As shown, the ports of the low-bandwidth Ethernet performance tester can be connected to the low-speed port P1 and the low-speed port P2n respectively, and the performance test of the high-speed port X1 and the high-speed port X2 can be achieved by using the two ports of the low-bandwidth Ethernet performance tester to send data streams simultaneously.
[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, firstly, 2 high-speed ports and 2n low-speed ports are obtained, wherein n is an integer greater than 1; then, the 2 high-speed ports are respectively configured with virtual local area network VLANs with the n low-speed ports, and then the VLANs corresponding to the 2n low-speed ports are configured with forwarding directions, and finally, the test results of the 2 high-speed ports are obtained by testing the first low-speed port and the 2nth low-speed port. In this way, by configuring the low-speed port and the high-speed port with VLANs, and configuring the high-speed port and the low-speed port, the low-speed port is connected with the high-speed port and the VLAN, so as to achieve the purpose of completing the performance test of the high-speed port of the Ethernet switch using a low-bandwidth Ethernet performance tester, avoiding the use of high-bandwidth test instruments, and reducing the cost of testing the Ethernet switch port.
