Problems solved by technology

The management of hardware resources is relatively complicated, because each member switch in the stack system is actually a separate hardware entity, and its hardware resources are actually exclusively occupied by each stack member switch, and the stack master switch cannot directly perceive and access the stack standby switch hardware resources, it is difficult to realize the unified management of hardware resources in the stacking system

Embodiment Construction

[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] An embodiment of the present invention provides a stacking system, which includes a plurality of member switches, and the member switches are divided into a stacking master switch and a stacking standby switch according to elected roles. Multiple member switches are connected in a chain or ring topology. After the election of the stack master switch is completed, the hardware resource database is synchronized between the member switches; after the stack master switch checks that the hardware resource database synchronization is completed, perform system configuration and enable hardware resource monitoring; A member switch detects changes in the status of local hardware resources and synchronizes them to other member switches.

[0044] The stack establishment, hardware resource synchronization, hardware resource synchronization...

Abstract

The invention discloses a stack system and a hardware resource management method for a stack switch, and relates to the field of network communication. The system comprises a plurality of member switches, the member switches are divided into a main stack switch and standby stack switches according to the chosen roles, the plurality of member switches are connected according to a chain or ring topology, and after the main stack switch is chosen, hardware resource database synchronization is performed among the member switches; after checking completion of the hardware resource database synchronization, the main stack switch executes system configuration, and starts hardware resource monitoring; and each member switch detects the change of a local hardware resource state, and synchronizes the change to other member switches. The method can perfect the management of the main switch in the stack system on all the member switches, and realizes unified management of hardware resources in the stack system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network communication, in particular to a hardware resource management method of a stacking system and a stacking switch. Background technique [0002] A stack switch refers to an Ethernet switch that supports the stack function. The stacking function means that two or more Ethernet switches are connected through a stacking cable to form a stacking system, which provides unified network management externally, and the interface and hardware resources are the sum of the interfaces and hardware resources of multiple Ethernet switches. An Ethernet switch that supports the stacking function is called a stacking switch. A stacking system can consist of multiple stacking switches, and each switch is a member of the stacking system, called a stacking member switch, or a member switch for short. Member switches can be divided into stack master switches and stack standby switches according to their elected roles. Each stac...
