Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, under the above working mechanism, no matter whether it is the network device as the master node or the network device as the transmission node, it does not support the topology discovery of the ring network, and furthermore, it cannot perform accurate fault judgment on the network devices on the ring network. Operations such as blocking port designation

Embodiment Construction

[0025] Hereinafter, the implementation of the topology discovery method and device according to the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] figure 2 It is a schematic flow chart of a topology discovery method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be applied to a ring network such as an Ethernet ring or an RPR, and the ring network includes a first device and a first neighbor device adjacent to the first device. Such as figure 2 As shown, the topology discovery method includes:

[0027] Step 201: When it is determined that the neighbor negotiation of the first device is performed, a neighbor negotiation message is sent to the first neighbor device connected to the first port through the first port of the first device; the second port of the first neighbor device is connected to the first neighbor device said first port connection;

[0028] Step 202: Receive the ne...

Abstract

The invention discloses a topology discovery method and device. Neighbor negotiation between first equipment and neighbor equipment is used to finish link status information confirmation of each port of equipment on a loop network; in addition, a link status information library of the equipment is broadcast to other equipment on the loop network, so that all equipment on the loop network can acquire newest and synchronous link status information of each port on the loop network, thus the topology discovery of the loop network can be realized on network equipment of the loop network.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a topology discovery method and device. Background technique [0002] Most metropolitan area networks and enterprise networks are constructed using ring networks. The technology adopted in the ring network is generally RPR (Resilient Packet Ring, Resilient Packet Ring) or Ethernet ring. RPR requires special hardware, so the cost is relatively high and its applications are few; the Ethernet ring is low in cost and widely used. [0003] A general ring network such as figure 1 As shown, it includes the master node and the transmission node, and the master node includes a master port and a backup port; it has the following working mechanism: the master port of the master node regularly sends out the protocol message, through the transmission on the ring network The node transmits to the backup port of the master node. When the backup port can receive the protocol message within a specifi...
