MAC address aging method and device and electronic equipment

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides an MAC address aging method and device and electronic equipment. An MAC address table is saved in the electronic equipment. The method includes the steps of obtaining a conflict chain in the MAC address table, wherein the conflict chain includes at least a table item corresponding to a serial port with a same saving position in the MAC address table and a different target MAC address and outer-layer VLAN ID; adding a zone bit table item at a designated spot of the conflict chain, wherein a zone bit set of each table item in the conflict chain is saved in the zone bit table item; when an aging period comes, making an aging process scan the zone bit table item, and according to the zone bit set which corresponds to each table item in the conflict chain and is recorded in the zone bit table item, determining whether or not aging treatment is conducted on the table item. According to the MAC address aging scheme, by adding the zone bit table item, the zone bit table item can be directly scanned when aging is conducted, according to the aging-related zone bit set of each table item in the conflict chain in the zone bit table item, whether or notaging treatment is conducted on the table item is determined, and the aging efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of network equipment, in particular to a MAC address aging method, device and electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] The existing MAC address aging process needs to be realized by traversing the entire MAC address table. If there is a conflict chain in the MAC address table, when the aging period arrives, it needs to enter the conflict chain, and then find the correct one by comparing the non-key value fields. Entries are relatively poor in terms of aging speed and efficiency. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of this, the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a MAC address aging method, device and electronic equipment to solve the above problems. [0004] A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a MAC address aging method, which is applied to an electronic device storing a MAC address table, and the method includes: [0005] Obtai...
