Embodiment 1

[0026] A method for power-on application configuration of a switch. The method sets up a TFTP server at the data center management end, and when the switch of the data center performs POAP startup, downloads and executes a POAP script file on the TFTP server to complete the internal monitoring of the data center. Batch deployment of switches.

[0027] TFTP, Trivial File Transfer Protocol or Small File Transfer Protocol (English: Trivial File Transfer Protocol), is a simplified file transfer protocol defined in 1980.

Embodiment 2

[0029] On the basis of Embodiment 1, the method described in this embodiment determines the name of the configuration file and downloads it according to the image file specified in the POAP script file included in the boot flash of the switch.

Embodiment 3

[0031] Such as figure 1 As shown, on the basis of embodiment 2, the implementation steps of the method described in this embodiment are as follows:

[0032] 1) Power on the switch;

[0033] 2) Determine whether the startup configuration exists, if it exists, the switch starts normally through the startup configuration;

[0034] 3) If the startup configuration does not exist, judge whether it is necessary to abandon the POAP (Power On Auto Provision, power-on automatic configuration) process. If the process is abandoned, the switch will start the interactive startup mode through the serial port;

[0035] 4) If the switch performs POAP startup, perform DHCP discovery and obtain the IP address and TFTP server address to obtain the POAP script file;

[0036] 5) The switch downloads the POAP script file and executes it;

[0037] 6) Determine whether the switch boot flash contains the image file specified in the script file, if not, the switch downloads the image file through the...

Abstract

The invention discloses a power on application provision method of a switch. According to the method, a TFTP (trivial file transfer protocol) server is set up at a management end, and when the switches perform POAP (power on automatic provision), batch deployment of the switches is completed by downloading a POAP script file from the TFTP server and executing the POAP script file. With the adoption of the method, complex manual one-by-one provision of the switches can be omitted, and batch deployment of the switches in a data center is realized by using one script file.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer software development, in particular to a method for power-on application configuration of a switch. Background technique [0002] A switch (English: Switch, meaning "switch") is a network device used for electrical signal forwarding. It can provide an exclusive electrical signal path for any two network nodes connected to the switch. The most common switches are Ethernet switches. Other common ones are telephone voice switches, fiber optic switches, etc. [0003] The switch works at the data link layer, and the switch has a high-bandwidth back bus and an internal switch matrix. All the ports of the switch are connected to this back bus. After the control circuit receives the data packet, the processing port will search the address comparison table in the memory to determine the NIC (network card) of the destination MAC (the hardware address of the network card). On which port, the data packet...
