Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hybrid protocol networking, and in particular to a master station type hybrid private protocol networking method and compatible ring network equipment. Background Art

[0002] In industrial applications, switches from various manufacturers currently have their own private redundant ring protocols, which are different and cannot be directly compatible. Therefore, when switches from different manufacturers are mixed and networked, due to the incompatibility of different private redundant ring protocols, one party needs to change the protocol to adapt to the other party, or adopt a unified replacement solution, that is, replace the equipment as a whole. However, the unified replacement solution has the disadvantages of large engineering workload and inability to utilize system investment. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present application proposes a master-station type hybrid private protocol networking method and a compatible ring network device, by providing a compatible ring network device compatible with multiple private redundant ring protocols, and connecting the compatible ring network device to the private ring network to be networked as a slave station to be compatible with different redundant ring protocols, thereby realizing networking in different private ring networks.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a master station type hybrid private protocol networking method, comprising:

[0005] Connecting a compatible ring network device as a slave to the private ring network to be networked, wherein the compatible ring network device is configured with a protocol processing template constructed according to different redundant ring protocols;

[0006] Receiving a message of the private ring network through the compatible ring network device, and identifying a redundant ring protocol type of the message according to the protocol processing template;

[0007] According to the identified redundant ring protocol type, the message is processed using the protocol processing template and encapsulated into a ring protocol message in the private ring network;

[0008] The encapsulated ring protocol message is transparently transmitted to the private ring network to realize the networking of compatible ring network devices in the private ring network.

[0009] From the above, the present application provides a master station type hybrid private protocol networking method, which connects a compatible ring network device to the private ring network to be networked as a slave station, and identifies the redundant ring protocol type of the received message according to the protocol processing template configured in the compatible ring network device, and then processes the message according to the identified redundant ring protocol type and encapsulates it into a ring protocol message in the private ring network, and transparently transmits the encapsulated ring protocol message to the private ring network, thereby realizing the networking function of the compatible ring network device in the private ring network. This method realizes the compatibility and efficient processing of different redundant ring protocols by built-in multiple protocol processing templates, and provides a flexible and efficient solution for the construction of private ring networks.

[0010] Optionally, the protocol processing template configured in the compatible ring network device is specifically used for:

[0011] Classifying the redundant ring protocol type of the message according to the redundant ring protocol characteristics of the private ring network;

[0012] encapsulating the message into a ring protocol message of the private ring network according to the message classification result;

[0013] Transmit the encapsulated ring protocol message to the private ring network;

[0014] Different response processing is performed according to different events to achieve the switching of the ring network link status.

[0015] As described above, by predefining multiple message functions in the protocol processing template, the automation and efficiency of message classification, filling, transparent transmission and event processing are achieved, thereby realizing the conversion and compatibility between different protocols, and the protocol processing template can also be added or changed as needed to adapt to new redundant ring protocols that may appear.

[0016] Optionally, performing different response processing according to different events includes:

[0017] When a ring network link of a compatible ring network device fails, the ring port with the interrupted link is set to a blocked state, and a ring network link offline message is sent from another ring port to notify the master station;

[0018] When the ring network link of the compatible ring network device is restored, the restored ring port is set to the forwarding state, and the ring network link online message is sent from the two ring ports to notify the master station.

[0019] From the above, when the ring network link of the compatible ring network device fails, the ring port that detects the link interruption can be immediately set to the blocking state to prevent the port from continuing to forward the ring network message, thereby preventing the broadcast storm and MAC address table instability caused by the loop, and sending the ring network link offline message (Ring_Link_Down) to the master station through the unaffected ring port to notify the master station that the ring network link has been interrupted so that corresponding measures can be taken. When the ring network link of the compatible ring network device is restored, the ring port that was previously set to the blocking state is restored to the forwarding state, and the ring network link online message (Ring_Link_Up) is sent to the master station through the two ring ports of the compatible ring network device to notify the master station that the ring network link has been restored, so that the master station can update the network status and restore normal network communication.

[0020] Optionally, performing different response processing according to different events further includes:

[0021] Send a peer detection message through the ring port of a compatible ring network device and wait for a response from the peer neighbor of the ring port;

[0022] When no response is received from the neighbor at the other end within the preset time, the ring port is set to a blocked state, and a ring network link offline message is sent from another ring port to notify the master station;

[0023] When the ring port in the blocked state is restored, the restored ring port is set to the forwarding state, and ring network link online messages are respectively sent from the two ring ports to notify the master station.

[0024] From the above, by introducing the processing functions of peer detection and fault recovery, the stability, availability and fault recovery capability of the network are further improved. Specifically, the peer detection message can be sent regularly through the ring port of the compatible ring network device to monitor the network status of the peer neighbor connected to the ring port. If no response is received from the peer neighbor within the preset time, it is considered that the peer device may be faulty or the link is interrupted. To prevent potential loop problems, the ring port that has not received a response is set to a blocking state, and a ring network link offline message is sent to the master station through another ring port to notify the master station that the ring network link has been interrupted. In addition, by continuously monitoring the ring port that was previously set to a blocking state, when the ring port in the blocking state detects that the peer neighbor device has been restored, the restored ring port can be reset to a forwarding state, and a ring network link online message is sent to the master station through the two ring ports of the compatible ring network device to notify the master station that the ring network link has been restored.

[0025] Optionally, also include:

[0026] The compatible ring network device performs a table clearing action according to a topology change message sent by the master station. The topology change message is generated by the master station according to the ring network link offline message or the ring network link online message and sent to the compatible ring network device. The table is a table entry for forwarding messages in the private ring network.

[0027] From the above, when the network topology changes, the topology change message is sent through the main station, and the compatible ring network device can quickly perform the table clearing action according to the instruction of the main station. The table is used for forwarding messages in the private ring network, ensuring the consistency of the forwarding table in the network device with the current network topology, avoiding forwarding errors and data loss.

[0028] Optionally, performing different response processing according to different events further includes:

[0029] The identified message conforming to the specific protocol is sent to the CPU, so that the CPU performs management of the private ring network according to the content of the message.

[0030] From the above, by introducing the event processing strategy of reporting messages to the CPU, when a message that conforms to a specific protocol is identified, the compatible ring network device sends it to the CPU through an internal mechanism, so that the CPU can parse and process it according to the preset processing flow and perform corresponding management operations, such as updating network topology information, adjusting routing tables, executing security functions, etc., thereby improving the flexibility, real-time performance and management efficiency of the network.

[0031] In a second aspect, the present application provides a compatible ring network device, which is connected to a private ring network to be networked as a slave station, and the compatible ring network device includes:

[0032] A template configuration module, used to construct and configure protocol processing templates according to different redundant ring protocols;

[0033] A message identification module, used for receiving a message from the private ring network, and identifying a redundant ring protocol type of the message according to the protocol processing template;

[0034] A message processing module, used to process the message according to the identified redundant ring protocol type using the protocol processing template and encapsulate it into a ring protocol message in the private ring network;

[0035] The message transparent transmission module is used to transparently transmit the encapsulated ring protocol message to the private ring network to realize the networking of compatible ring network devices in the private ring network.

[0036] In a third aspect, the present application provides a computing device, the computing device comprising:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The technical solution provided by the present application is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the system structure and business scenarios provided in the examples of the present application are mainly to illustrate the possible implementation methods of the technical solution of the present application and should not be interpreted as the only limitation on the technical solution of the present application. It is known to those of ordinary skill in the art that with the evolution of the system structure and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution provided by the present application is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0052] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present application. In case of any inconsistency, the meaning described in this specification or the meaning derived from the contents recorded in this specification shall prevail. In addition, the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0053] The embodiment of the present application proposes a master-station type hybrid private protocol networking method and a compatible ring network device. By providing a compatible ring network device compatible with multiple private redundant ring protocols, when a slave station in a private ring network needs to be replaced or added, there is no need to purchase a dedicated slave station device for the private ring network. It is only necessary to connect the compatible ring network device provided by the embodiment of the present application to the private ring network to be networked as a slave station. The compatible ring network device has a built-in protocol processing template compatible with multiple redundant ring protocols, which is used to be compatible with different redundant ring protocols and realize networking in different private ring networks, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of networking, making the construction of private ring networks more convenient, and effectively improving the flexibility and scalability of private ring networks.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a master station type hybrid private protocol networking method. When a slave station in a private ring network needs to be replaced or added, the above-mentioned compatible ring network device is connected to the private ring network to be networked as a slave station. The compatible ring network device is configured with a protocol processing template constructed according to different redundant ring protocols. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0055] S110: Receive a message from the private ring network through a compatible ring network device, and identify a redundant ring protocol type of the message according to the protocol processing template.

[0056] In this embodiment, the compatible ring network device has built-in protocol processing templates compatible with multiple redundant ring protocols, such as Figure 2 As shown, the protocol processing template may include multiple functions:

[0057] The message classification function (Ring_Frame_Classify) is used to classify the redundant ring protocol type of the message according to the redundant ring protocol characteristics of the private ring network. By parsing the header information or specific fields of the message, the redundant ring protocol type to which the message belongs can be identified, such as STP (Spanning Tree Protocol), RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol), ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Protocol), etc.;

[0058] The message encapsulation function (Ring_Frame_Create) is used to encapsulate the received message into the ring protocol message format required by the private ring network according to the message classification result, including adding necessary header information, check field, sequence number, etc., to achieve the conversion and compatibility of messages between different redundant ring protocols, and ensure the correct transmission and processing of messages in the private ring network;

[0059] The message transparent transmission function (Ring_Frame_Transparent) is used to transparently transmit the encapsulated ring protocol message to the private ring network, including selecting the appropriate transmission path, setting the message priority, and ensuring the integrity and reliability of the message during transmission;

[0060] The event processing function is used to perform different response processing according to different events to achieve the switching of the ring network link status. These events may include the sending of messages (Ring_Frame_Send) when the link fails or the link is restored, reporting the specified protocol message to the CPU (Acl_Set), and the detection of the opposite device (Ring_Neighbors_Linkcheck), etc. According to the event type, the corresponding processing action can be triggered, such as switching the ring state, updating the routing table, sending notification messages, sending detection messages, sending messages to the CPU, etc. By introducing the event processing strategy of reporting messages to the CPU, when a message that conforms to a specific protocol is identified, the compatible ring network device sends it to the CPU through an internal mechanism, so that the CPU can parse and process it according to the preset processing flow, and perform corresponding management operations, such as updating network topology information, adjusting routing tables, executing security functions, etc., thereby improving the flexibility, real-time nature and management efficiency of the network.

[0061] S120: According to the identified redundant ring protocol type, the message is processed using the protocol processing template and encapsulated into a ring protocol message in the private ring network.

[0062] In this step, the compatible ring network device receives the message in the private ring network through its ring port, and after identifying the redundant ring protocol type of the message according to its built-in protocol processing template, it can process the message according to the identified redundant ring protocol type using the protocol processing template and encapsulate it into a ring protocol message in the private ring network to achieve message protocol conversion and ensure that the ring protocol message can be correctly transmitted in the private ring network.

[0063] S130: transparently transmit the encapsulated ring protocol message to the private ring network to realize networking of compatible ring network devices in the private ring network.

[0064] In this step, the compatible ring network device transparently transmits the ring protocol message generated in the above step to the private ring network through its ring port. When the ring protocol message is successfully transparently transmitted through the private ring network, the networking of the compatible ring network device in the private ring network can be realized, and normal ring network communication can be carried out.

[0065] like Figure 3 The figure shows a schematic diagram of a compatible ring network device performing message transparent transmission function, referring to Figure 3 As shown, when the master station in the private ring network sends a detection message (RING_HELLO / TEST) through its ring port, if the ring port of the compatible ring network device receives the detection message through the private ring network and identifies the redundant ring protocol type of the message according to its built-in protocol processing template, the protocol processing template can be used to parse and process the detection message and encapsulate it into a corresponding ring protocol message, and transparently transmit it to the private ring network through another ring port so that the master station can receive it, thereby completing the master station's status detection of the private ring network. The detection message is used to detect the ring network status, including the detection version.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the ring network link of the compatible ring network device fails, the ring port that detects the link interruption can be immediately set to the blocking state to prevent the port from continuing to forward the ring network message, thereby preventing the broadcast storm caused by the loop and the instability of the MAC address table, and sending the ring network link offline message (Ring_Link_Down) to the master station through another unaffected ring port to notify the master station that the ring network link has been interrupted. After receiving the ring network link offline message from the compatible ring network device, the master station recognizes that the network topology has changed. The master station generates a corresponding topology change message (Ring_Top_Change / Clear) based on the received ring network link offline message, and sends the message to the compatible ring network device in the network. The compatible ring network device can perform corresponding table clearing actions according to the content of the topology change message, such as clearing old MAC address table entries, updating the routing table, recalculating the spanning tree, etc., to ensure that the forwarding table of the compatible ring network device is consistent with the current network topology.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, the compatible ring network device can periodically detect the failed ring network link. When the compatible ring network device detects that the ring network link is restored, it can restore the ring port that was previously set to the blocking state to the forwarding state, and send the ring network link online message (Ring_Link_Up) to the master station through the two ring ports of the compatible ring network device to notify the master station that the ring network link has been restored. After the master station receives the ring network link online message from the compatible ring network device, it recognizes that the network topology is about to change. The master station generates a corresponding topology change message (Ring_Top_Change / Clear) based on the received ring network link online message, and sends the message to the compatible ring network device in the network. The compatible ring network device can perform the corresponding clearing action according to the content of the topology change message.

[0068] In some embodiments, the compatible ring network device may also actively send a peer detection message through its ring port, wait for a response from the peer neighbor of the ring port, detect the network status of the peer neighbor, and perform corresponding processing according to the detection result. Figure 6 As shown, the compatible ring network device can send a peer detection message (Neighbors_Link_Check_Req) ​​through its ring port, and wait for the peer neighbor to feedback a response message (Neighbors_Link_Check_Resp) to the peer detection message within a preset time. When no response is received from the peer neighbor within the preset time, it is considered that the peer device may be faulty or the link is interrupted. To prevent potential loop problems, the ring port that has not received a response is set to a blocking (Block) state, and a ring network link offline message is sent to the master station through another ring port to notify the master station that the ring network link has been interrupted. After the master station receives the ring network link offline message from the compatible ring network device, it recognizes that the network topology has changed. The master station generates a corresponding topology change message based on the received ring network link offline message, and sends the message to the compatible ring network device in the network. The compatible ring network device can perform corresponding table clearing actions according to the content of the topology change message.

[0069] After the compatible ring network device sets its ring port to the blocking state, it can continuously monitor the ring port that was previously set to the blocking state. When the ring port in the blocking state detects that the neighboring device on the opposite end has recovered, it can reset the recovered ring port to the forwarding state and send a ring network link online message to the master station through the two ring ports of the compatible ring network device to notify the master station that the ring network link has been restored. After the master station receives the ring network link online message from the compatible ring network device, it recognizes that the network topology is about to change. The master station generates a corresponding topology change message based on the received ring network link online message and sends the message to the compatible ring network device in the network. The compatible ring network device can perform corresponding table clearing actions based on the content of the topology change message.

[0070] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a master-station hybrid private protocol networking method, which connects a compatible ring network device to the private ring network to be networked as a slave station, and identifies the redundant ring protocol type of the received message according to the protocol processing template configured in the compatible ring network device, and then processes the message according to the identified redundant ring protocol type and encapsulates it into a ring protocol message in the private ring network, and transparently transmits the encapsulated ring protocol message to the private ring network, thereby realizing the networking function of the compatible ring network device in the private ring network. This method realizes the compatibility and efficient processing of different redundant ring protocols by built-in multiple protocol processing templates, and provides a flexible and efficient solution for the construction of private ring networks.
