[0002] A MAC address (Media Access Control Address) is a globally unique physical hardware address burned into the network interface card by the network equipment manufacturer during production. Therefore, the uniqueness of the MAC address is a rigid requirement for network devices. If duplicate or incorrect MAC addresses are burned during the production process, the manufactured equipment will malfunction. Currently, MAC address burning is not bound to product information and can only be adapted to the burning of MAC addresses for a single product type.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The following will describe the inventive concept and its resulting technical effects clearly and completely with reference to embodiments, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the term "several" means one or more, and the term "multiple" means two or more. The terms "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" should be understood as excluding the stated number, while the terms "above," "below," and "within" should be understood as including the stated number. The terms "first" and "second" should be understood as distinguishing technical features, and not as indicating or implying relative importance, the number of indicated technical features, or the order of the indicated technical features.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 This invention provides a MAC address programming management method, which is applied in a MAC address programming management system for managing MAC address programming; it includes the following steps: S100: Obtain the SN code information of the target device to be programmed; In this process, SN code information is generated in the MES server in the early stage, and the status of the SN code information is marked. Then, after each SN code information is assigned, the status of the SN code information is registered and modified to ensure the uniqueness of the SN code information in the target device to be programmed. In this embodiment, the host computer in the MAC address programming management system establishes a communication connection with the MES server. After the host computer inputs the parameters of the target device to be programmed (such as manufacturer, product name, etc.), the MES server sends the SN code information of the target device to be programmed.

[0020] S200: Request the number of MAC addresses from the MES server based on the SN code information to obtain the target MAC addresses to be burned; After obtaining the SN code information through the above step S100, applying for the MAC address from the MES server based on the SN code information can ensure the correspondence between the SN code information and the MAC address, ensuring that each SN code information corresponds to one or more MAC addresses.

[0021] S300: Select the target device programming module that is compatible with the protocol based on the SN code information; Since there may be various types of target devices to be programmed, and different types of products may use different communication protocols when programming their MAC addresses, this embodiment uses the SN code information to identify the type of the target device and then selects a programming module that matches the protocol.

[0022] S400: The target MAC address is burned into the target device to be burned through the target device burning module.

[0023] After selecting the correct target device programming module through the above step S300, the host computer controls the programming-specific fixture device in the MAC address programming management system to fix the target to be programmed to the preset position, and then performs the MAC address programming action.

[0024] This invention provides a MAC address programming management method. By establishing a relationship between SN code information and MAC address, the uniqueness of the MAC address programmed for the target device is ensured. Furthermore, by selecting a suitable programming module for the target device based on its SN code information, the method enables MAC address programming for multiple product types. This solves the technical problems in related technologies, such as frequent duplicate programming, programming errors, low programming efficiency, and poor applicability to related devices.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the MAC address is stored in the MAC address management pool of the MES server. In the above embodiments, after obtaining the target MAC address to be programmed based on the SN code information, to prevent duplicate MAC address issuance and programming, the MAC address programming management method further includes the following steps: S500: Bind the SN code information to the target MAC address, and delete the target MAC address from the MAC address management pool of the MES server.

[0026] In this embodiment, after the MES server sends the target MAC address to the host computer, it binds the SN code information with the sent target MAC address to facilitate MAC address management, and stores the binding relationship table in the MES server. Furthermore, this prevents situations such as interruptions during the MAC address burning process after the target MAC address is sent. When the host computer requests the MAC address from the MES server during the MAC address burning process, it first queries the SN code information-MAC address binding relationship table. If the SN code information corresponds to a target MAC address in the table, the target MAC address is sent directly without allocation through the MAC address management pool, preventing waste of MAC address resources.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the target device to be programmed may undergo MAC address programming multiple times. Since the storage space of the target device is fixed, this is to prevent multiple programming attempts from consuming storage space and causing the target device to fail to meet performance requirements during subsequent use. In this embodiment, step S400 of the above embodiment includes the following sub-steps: S410: Data communication with the target device to be programmed is achieved through the WINUSB driver; S420: Read data from the target device to be programmed to obtain raw data information; S430. Determine the difference between the target MAC address and the original data information; If the original data includes all information about the target MAC address, then proceed with the following steps: S440: End the current target MAC address burning process; do not perform the burning action. Otherwise, proceed with the following steps: S450: Remove the target MAC address from the original data to obtain the difference target MAC address, and burn the difference target MAC address into the target device to be burned.

[0028] In this embodiment, by reading the original data of the target device to be programmed and performing a difference analysis with the target MAC address, only the different target MAC addresses that do not exist in the target device to be programmed are programmed, thereby saving storage space and ensuring the performance requirements of the target device to be programmed for subsequent use.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, MAC address programming may fail due to programming errors, resulting in the target device being unable to connect to the network and function properly. Therefore, after MAC address programming is completed, the target device needs to be tested. In this embodiment, the MAC address programming management method further includes the following steps: S600 reads information from the network card of the target device to be programmed in order to determine whether the target MAC address has been successfully programmed.

[0030] In this embodiment, the host computer reads information from the network card of the target device to be programmed through the WMI service, thereby obtaining the MAC address information of the device to be programmed. By comparing it with the target MAC address, if the two are consistent, it means that the target MAC address has been programmed successfully. If they are inconsistent, it means that the target MAC address has not been successfully programmed to the device and the MAC address needs to be programmed again.

[0031] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, to accurately send the target MAC address to ensure efficient programming, step S200 of the above embodiment includes the following sub-steps: S210, the MES server checks whether the SN code information is bound to the target MAC address; That is, the MES server checks the relationship table between the SN code information and the target MAC address in the above embodiment.

[0032] If the determination in step S210 is yes, then proceed with the following steps: S220: Send the bound target MAC address; If the determination in step S210 is negative, then proceed to step: S230. Obtain product information based on the SN code; S240. Assign a target MAC address to the MAC address management pool of the MES server based on the product information.

[0033] The MAC address management pool of the MES server may store MAC addresses of various product types. By storing MAC addresses separately according to product type, the MAC address management pool can ensure the orderly allocation of MAC addresses and prevent the issuance of incorrect MAC addresses.

[0034] Reference Figure 6 Specifically, in some embodiments, the MAC address management stores MAC address ranges, which are divided according to preset rules, such as different products corresponding to different MAC address ranges. Therefore, step S240 in the above embodiments specifically includes: S241. Select the target MAC address range based on the product information; S242. Allocate target MAC addresses in the target MAC address range according to the first-in-first-out principle.

[0035] In this embodiment, by dividing and storing MAC address ranges according to different products, the corresponding target MAC address can be quickly issued based on product information when a MAC address is requested. Simultaneously, the first-in-first-out (FIFO) principle ensures the orderly allocation of MAC addresses, avoiding omissions or duplications.

[0036] In some embodiments, to improve the applicability of the MAC address programming management system and enable it to program MAC addresses for different types of products, the target device programming module described in the above embodiments is integrated with a USB protocol communication module, a PCIe protocol communication module, and a socket protocol communication module. After obtaining product information based on the SN code in S230, step S300 specifically includes the following sub-steps: S310. Select the target communication module based on the product information.

[0037] The product information can determine whether the target device to be programmed has a USB network card, a PCIe network card, or is a switch. Then, the host computer establishes a communication connection with the target device by selecting the corresponding USB protocol communication module, PCIe protocol communication module, or socket protocol communication module, and then performs the programming of the target MAC address.

[0038] Reference Figure 7This invention also provides a MAC address programming management device, which includes an SN code information acquisition module, a MAC address application module, a MAC address programming device selection module, and a MAC address programming control module. The SN code information acquisition module acquires the SN code information of the target device to be programmed. The MAC address application module requests a number of MAC addresses from the MES server based on the SN code information to obtain the target MAC addresses to be programmed. The MAC address programming device selection module selects a protocol-compatible target device programming module based on the SN code information. The MAC address programming control module programs the target MAC address into the target device through the target device programming module. In some embodiments, the MAC address programming management device is specifically implemented as a PC or industrial control computer loaded with a preset application program. The MAC address programming process implemented in this device corresponds to the MAC address programming management methods described in the above embodiments and will not be elaborated further here.

[0039] Reference Figure 8 This invention also provides a MAC address programming management system, which includes an MES server, a host computer, and a dedicated programming fixture. The MES server stores MAC address ranges in its MAC management pool, and the host computer has pre-set programming control software. In this embodiment, the host computer is communicatively connected to both the MES server and the dedicated programming fixture. When programming the MAC address of a target device, the host computer executes the pre-set programming control software, thereby implementing the MAC address programming management method described in any of the above embodiments to program the MAC address of the target device. This embodiment provides a MAC address programming management system to solve the technical problems in related technologies, such as repeated programming, programming errors, low programming efficiency, and poor applicability to programming-related devices.

[0040] Reference Figure 9 In some embodiments, to simultaneously program the MAC addresses of multiple target devices, thereby improving MAC address programming efficiency, the host computer in this embodiment includes multiple host computers: host computer 1, host computer 2, ..., host computer n, and corresponding dedicated programming fixture devices include: dedicated programming fixture device 1, dedicated programming fixture device 2, ..., dedicated programming fixture device n. Each host computer is connected to a dedicated programming fixture device, and each host computer can independently execute preset programming control software, thereby enabling the MAC address programming management method described in any of the above embodiments to program the MAC addresses of multiple target devices.

[0041] In some embodiments, the host computer described in the above embodiments may be a PC or industrial control computer equipped with preset burning control application software.

[0042] This invention also provides a computer storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a computer-executable program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the MAC address burning and management method described in any of the above embodiments.
