Method and apparatus for aggregating links

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method and apparatus for aggregating links. A specific embodiment of the method comprises the following steps: if a link aggregation control protocol message sent by an opposite end that has implemented the link aggregation is detected, parsing the link aggregation control protocol message to generate an analysis result; recording a port identifier of aport receiving the link aggregation control protocol message, and generating an analysis result record comprising the analysis result and the port identifier; selecting a target analysis result recordin a analysis result record set based on the analysis result record and the pre-generated analysis result record set, and executing the following aggregation group creation steps: creating an aggregation group, and adding the port identifier and the port identifier in the target analysis result record to the created aggregation group; and if it is determined that the state of the added aggregation group is a dynamic aggregation state, generating information for characterizing aggregation group creation success. By adoption of the embodiment, errors caused by manual operation are reduced, andthe efficiency of link aggregation is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of computer technology, specifically to the field of Internet technology, and in particular to a method and device for link aggregation. Background technique [0002] Ethernet link aggregation is referred to as link aggregation for short. By bundling multiple Ethernet physical links together to form a logical link, the purpose of increasing link bandwidth is achieved. At the same time, the links that are bound together can effectively improve the reliability of the links through mutual dynamic backup. [0003] Link aggregation needs to configure an aggregation group at both ends of the physical connection. It is required that the physical ports at both ends are strictly corresponding, and wrong insertion is not allowed. In the large-scale operation and maintenance process of the Internet Data Center (IDC, Internet Data Center), the number of ports on the server is relatively small. General...

Problems solved by technology

In the large-scale operation and maintenance process of the Internet Data Center (IDC, Internet Data Center), the number of ports on the server is relatively small. Generally, dual network ports are used for aggregation, and the wiring is relatively simple. However, when the uplink is connected to a multi-port switch, the switch generally All are multi-port, such as 48 ports, connected to dozens of servers in the downlink. In this case, manual operation is more prone to errors. Once there is a wrong insertion, it will be cumbersome and complicated to eliminate, which will greatly affect the deployment. efficiency
