Network interface testing method and equipment

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a network interface testing method and equipment. The network interface testing method comprises the steps that the electronic equipment acquires multiple link-layer discovery protocol (LLDP) messages sent by a switch, wherein multiple to-be-tested network interfaces of the electronic equipment are connected with ports of the switch respectively, differentto-be-tested network interfaces are connected with different ports, and each LLDP message comprises an identifier of the port sending the LLDP message; the electronic equipment determines network interface connection information according to all the LLDP message and the identifiers of the to-be-tested network interfaces receiving the LLDP messages, wherein the network interface connection information is used for indicating the connection relation of all the to-be-tested network interfaces and the ports of the switch; and the electronic equipment sends the network interface connection information to the main control equipment, and therefore the main control equipment can open or close the ports of the switch according to the network connection information to conduct performance testing on the to-be-tested network interfaces connected with the opened ports. Accordingly, manual intervention is not needed in network interface testing, testers are reduced, and the testing efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiment of the present invention relates to the technical field of network port testing, and in particular to a network port testing method and equipment. Background technique [0002] With the development of electronic device structures, many electronic devices have multiple network ports. During the performance test of the electronic device, it is necessary to perform a performance test on multiple network ports of the electronic device. For example, network connectivity status inspection (Network Controller Sideband Interface, NCSI), preboot execution environment (preboot executeenvironment, PXE) test, and the like. [0003] In the prior art, when performing a performance test on multiple network ports of an electronic device, the network ports of the electronic device may be connected to ports of a switch, and the switch may be connected to a main control device. When performing a performance test, at least one network port needs to be in ...
