The invention provides an
Ethernet redundancy design method and device independent of a switch
multicast function, and the method comprises the steps: periodically transmitting a first broadcast message to each non-transmitting end device in a
broadcast domain through a plurality of first network ports, so as to enable a receiving end to determine a first
address mapping relation of a transmitting end; receiving a second broadcast message sent by each second network port of each non-sending end device in the
broadcast domain, and determining a second
address mapping relationship of a receiving end; and determining each target network port of the receiving end according to the second
address mapping relationship, constructing a first target message, and sending the first target message to each target network port from each first network port, so that the receiving end performs redundancy
processing on the first target message after identifying the preset digital identifier to obtain target data. The method provided by the invention does not depend on the
multicast function of the switch in the single
broadcast domain, does not need to send the main communication message through broadcast, and only uses the
terminal equipment in the broadcast domain to complete message repeated sending and realize redundancy
processing.
