Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch technology, and in particular to a switch system that supports one-click ring network configuration. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of data communication, industrial switches are commonly used in daily industrial and outdoor scenarios to build network links for communication between devices. They are required to function normally in harsh environments and achieve network redundancy. The network links are generally constructed using a ring network connection method. This connection method ensures that even if one link is broken, it will not affect the normal communication between the nodes in the network link, effectively ensuring the continuity of network communication.

[0003] Currently, industrial switches mainly use three ring network protocols to establish ring networks: ERPS ring network, RRPP, and STP spanning tree. However, all of these ring network protocols require professional technicians to spend a lot of time configuring hundreds of industrial switches on-site according to the actual situation before they can be applied to actual projects. This undoubtedly requires professional network technicians to spend a lot of time manually entering a large number of configuration commands into the switches to establish the ring network. Moreover, manually entering configuration commands one by one is prone to errors, which means that professional network technicians need to spend a lot of time troubleshooting when configuration errors occur. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a switch system that supports one-click ring network configuration, enabling automatic ring network configuration between switches without requiring professional network technicians to input numerous configuration commands for each switch, effectively reducing configuration errors and the need to spend a lot of time troubleshooting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a switch system supporting one-click ring network configuration, comprising:

[0006] Multiple switches are provided, each equipped with a network distribution switch module, a protocol configurator, a first switching interface, and a second switching interface. The first switching interface of one of two adjacent switches is connected to the second switching interface of another switch via a data connection cable. The protocol configurator is connected to the network distribution switch module, the first switching interface, and the second switching interface, respectively. The network distribution switch module is equipped with a one-button network distribution switch. When the one-button network distribution switch is turned on, the network distribution switch module sends a ring network configuration signal to the protocol configurator. The protocol configurator is used to switch to ring network configuration mode according to the ring network configuration signal, so that the protocol configurators of the multiple switches can form a ring network through the first switching interface and the second switching interface.

[0007] Optionally, the protocol configurator is provided with a first GPIO pin, which is connected to the distribution network switch module. The distribution network switch module is used to send a high-level signal to the first GPIO pin when the one-button distribution network switch is turned on, and to send a low-level signal to the first GPIO pin when the one-button distribution network switch is turned off. The protocol configurator is used to switch to ring network configuration mode according to the high-level signal.

[0008] Optionally, the power distribution switch module includes a DIP switch, a first resistor, and a second resistor. The first end of the first resistor is connected to the power supply, the second end of the first resistor is connected to the first end of the DIP switch, the second end of the DIP switch is connected to the first GPIO pin and the first end of the second resistor, and the second end of the second resistor is connected to ground.

[0009] Optionally, the switch is equipped with an SFP fiber optic module, the SFP fiber optic module is equipped with a first slot and a second slot, the first slot forms the first switching interface, the second slot forms the second switching interface, and the data connection line is an optical fiber cable.

[0011] Optionally, the first connecting cable is an RJ45 network cable, and the second connecting cable is a PoE cable.

[0012] This invention enables automatic ring network configuration between multiple switches by setting up a network distribution switch module and a protocol configurator on the switches. The switches are also equipped with a first switching interface and a second switching interface. The first switching interface of one of two adjacent switches is connected to the second switching interface of the other switch via a data connection cable. The network distribution switch module is equipped with a one-button network distribution switch. When the one-button network distribution switch is turned on, the network distribution switch module sends a ring network configuration signal to the protocol configurator. The protocol configurator switches to ring network configuration mode according to the ring network configuration signal, so that the protocol configurators of multiple switches can build a ring network through the first switching interface and the second switching interface.

[0019] To explain in detail the technical content, structural features, objectives and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model discloses a switch system that supports one-click ring network configuration, comprising:

[0021] Multiple switches 100 are provided. Each switch 100 is equipped with a network distribution switch module 1, a protocol configurator 2, a first switching interface 3, and a second switching interface 4. The first switching interface 3 of one of two adjacent switches 100 is connected to the second switching interface 4 of the other switch 100 via a data connection cable 5. The protocol configurator 2 is connected to the network distribution switch module 1, the first switching interface 3, and the second switching interface 4 respectively. The network distribution switch module 1 is equipped with a one-button network distribution switch 11. When the one-button network distribution switch 11 is turned on, the network distribution switch module 1 sends a ring network configuration signal to the protocol configurator 2. The protocol configurator 2 is used to switch to ring network configuration mode according to the ring network configuration signal, so that the protocol configurators 2 of the multiple switches 100 can form a ring network through the first switching interface 3 and the second switching interface 4.

[0022] This invention achieves automatic ring network configuration between multiple switches 100 by setting up a network distribution switch module 1 and a protocol configurator 2 in a switch 100. The switch 100 is also equipped with a first switching interface 3 and a second switching interface 4. The first switching interface 3 of one of two adjacent switches 100 is connected to the second switching interface 4 of the other switch 100 through a data connection cable 5. The network distribution switch module 1 is equipped with a one-button network distribution switch 11. When the one-button network distribution switch 11 is turned on, the network distribution switch module 1 sends a ring network configuration signal to the protocol configurator 2. The protocol configurator 2 switches to ring network configuration mode according to the ring network configuration signal, so that the protocol configurators 2 of multiple switches 100 can form a ring network through the first switching interface 3 and the second switching interface 4, thereby realizing one-button automatic ring network configuration of the switches 100. This eliminates the need for professional network technicians to input a large number of configuration commands for each switch 100, effectively reducing configuration errors and the need to spend a lot of time troubleshooting.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 6 The protocol configurator 2 is equipped with a first GPIO pin 21, which is connected to the distribution network switch module 1. The distribution network switch module 1 is used to send a high-level signal to the first GPIO pin 21 when the one-button distribution network switch 11 is turned on, and to send a low-level signal to the first GPIO pin 21 when the one-button distribution network switch 11 is turned off. The protocol configurator 2 is used to switch to ring network configuration mode according to the high-level signal.

[0024] Furthermore, the power distribution switch module 1 includes a DIP switch 12, a first resistor 13, and a second resistor 14. The first end of the first resistor 13 is connected to the power supply EVDDH, the second end of the first resistor 13 is connected to the first end of the DIP switch 12, the second end of the DIP switch 12 is connected to the first GPIO pin 21 and the first end of the second resistor 14, and the second end of the second resistor 14 is connected to the ground GND.

[0025] By adding a network distribution switch module 1 to the switch 100, the protocol configurator 2 can automatically complete the ring network configuration of the switch 100 when the one-click network distribution switch 11 is turned on. This allows the ring network to be set up without the need for professional network technicians, which helps to reduce labor costs.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the protocol configurator 2 is the main chip of the switch 100. The main chip of the switch 100 has a pre-installed software program for automatically configuring the ERPS ring network protocol. The first GPIO pin 21 is the GPIO14_Fast_Ring interface of the main chip, and the DIP switch 12 is a one-button network configuration switch 11. The DIP switch 12 is set to the OFF state by default. At this time, the main chip of the switch 100 detects a low level through the first GPIO pin 21, and the main chip will not use the pre-installed software program to configure the ERPS ring network protocol. However, when the DIP switch 12 is set to the ON state, the main chip of the switch 100 detects a change in level from low to high through the first GPIO pin 21. At this time, the main chip of the switch 100 will automatically execute the pre-installed software program (built into the Flash chip NOS system) to perform the relevant configuration operations of the ERPS ring network protocol, thereby replacing manual input of configuration commands and enabling one-button quick configuration of the ERPS ring network (Fast). This allows for the establishment of an ERPS ring network without requiring specialized network technicians to spend considerable time and input numerous configuration commands.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 6 The switch 100 is equipped with an SFP fiber optic module, which has a first slot and a second slot. The first slot forms the first switching interface 3, and the second slot forms the second switching interface 4. The data connection cable 5 is an optical fiber cable.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 6 The switch 100 is also provided with a first connection port 6 and a second connection port 7. The switch 100 includes a first switch 101 and a plurality of second switches 102. The first connection port 6 of the first switch 101 is connected to the computer device 104 through a first connection cable 103. The second connection port 7 of the first switch 101 is connected to the monitor 105 through a first connection cable 103. The first connection port 6 of the second switch 102 is connected to the computer device 104 through a first connection cable 103. The second connection port 7 of the second switch 102 is connected to the camera 107 through a second connection cable 106.

[0029] Furthermore, the first connecting line 103 is an RJ45 network cable, and the second connecting line 106 is a PoE cable.

[0030] When there are hundreds of switches 100 in an actual project, the ring network can be configured quickly through one-click ring network configuration. This eliminates the need for professional network technicians to repeatedly enter ring network configuration commands on each switch 100, avoiding the need to spend a lot of time troubleshooting due to manual input errors, and thus effectively saving time on ring network configuration.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the monitoring center is equipped with a first switch 101, and each of site 1, site 2, and site 3 is equipped with a second switch 102. By switching the Fast Ring one-button network configuration switch 11 of each switch 100 from the OFF state to the ON state, the ERPS ring network configuration function of each switch 100 will be activated to execute the pre-set ERPS ring network scheme program; for example... Figure 4 As shown, first enable the ERPSv2 function (ITU-T G.8032v2), and add control-vlan 00 to separate the control interface and data interface to prevent network storms. Then, establish the main ring erps-ring major_ring1, and set the first switching interface 3 and the second switching interface 4 of switch 100 as ring network ports. At this point, in industrial projects, these two ring network ports can be used directly to build the ring network. The ring network can be quickly built without manual configuration, achieving network redundancy and protecting the data in the working network. This effectively improves the reliability of the working network and ensures that the disconnection of any fiber optic line will not affect the normal communication of the working network.

[0032] Specifically, for example, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the entire network link is normal, but the first switching interface 3 (port 9) of the switch 100 of site 1 is blocked, the switch 100 of site 1 will transmit data along Data Flow 1, and the switches 100 of sites 2 and 3 will transmit data along Data Flow 2. This effectively avoids broadcast storms in the entire network and keeps the communication of each site in a normal state.

[0033] Specifically, for example, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the link between switches 100 at site 2 and site 3 is interrupted, the first switching interface 3 (port 9) of switch 100 at site 1 automatically changes from a blocked state to a normal forwarding state. Then, switches 100 at site 2 and site 1 will transmit data along Data Flow 1, while switches 100 at site 3 will transmit data along Data Flow 2. This effectively avoids broadcast storms in the entire network and keeps communication between sites in a normal state, thus giving the entire switch 100 system network redundancy.

[0034] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the scope of the present utility model application shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
