Description

网^^口模块的端口配置方法、装置及框式通信设备技术领域 Port configuration method, device and frame type communication device of network ^^ port module

本发明涉及网络通信技术领域，尤其涉及网络接口模块的端口配置方法、装置及框式通信设备。背景技术 The present invention relates to the field of network communication technologies, and in particular, to a port configuration method, a device, and a frame type communication device of a network interface module. Background technique

现有的框式通信设备（例如交换机、路由器、刀片服务器、网关等）中具有至少一个业务插槽及至少一个交换插槽。业务插槽中设置有业务板，用于根据框式通信设备的类型来执行特定业务的处理。例如：路由器和交换机的业务板，有的是处理路由协议运算，有的是做协议转换、封装 /解封装，有的做流量控制等；网关的业务板，有的是做信令处理，有的做语音分析等。交换插槽中设置有交换板，用于将业务板之间的信息交互进行集中式转发和交换。 Existing framed communication devices (eg, switches, routers, blade servers, gateways, etc.) have at least one service slot and at least one switch slot. A service board is provided in the service slot for performing processing of a specific service according to the type of the frame type communication device. For example: the service boards of routers and switches, some of which deal with routing protocol operations, some for protocol conversion, encapsulation/decapsulation, and some for traffic control; gateway service boards, some for signaling processing, and some for voice analysis. A switchboard is provided in the switch slot for centralized forwarding and exchange of information between service boards.

业务板与交换板之间的信息交互，是通过业务板上的网络接口模块与交换板上的交换模块进行信息交互来完成的。网络接口模块和交换模块分别是业务板和交换板上的功能实体。其中，网络接口模块可以是一个芯片、芯片的物理端口，或者是一个子卡；交换模块可以是一个芯片、多个芯片组成的阵列，或者是一个子卡。 The information exchange between the service board and the switch board is performed by the information exchange between the network interface module on the service board and the switch module on the switch board. The network interface module and the switch module are functional entities on the service board and the switch board, respectively. The network interface module may be a chip, a physical port of the chip, or a daughter card; the switch module may be a chip, an array of multiple chips, or a daughter card.

图 la为业务板上网络接口模块与交换板上交换模块连接的示意图。图 la中，交换板 11上的交换模块 111通过两条链路分别连接业务板 13 和业务板 14上的网络接口模块（ 131及 141 ) ；交换板 12上的交换模块 121通过两条链路分别连接业务板 13和业务板 14上的网络接口模块（ 131 及 141 ) 。链路两端的模块的功能类型必须是——对应的，功能类型指所传送数据的协议类型，例如 Ethernet (以太网）、 FC ( Fiber Channel, 光纤通道）、 PCIE ( PCI-Express , 总线接口 ) 、 SAS ( Serial Attached SCSI, 串行连接小型计算机***接口）等。如果交换模块为以太网交换机，则与其连接的可以为以太网卡，以保证链路两端的协议是相同的。 Figure la is a schematic diagram of the connection between the network interface module on the service board and the switch module on the switch board. In Figure la, the switch module 111 on the switch board 11 is connected to the network interface modules (131 and 141) on the service board 13 and the service board 14 through two links; the switch module 121 on the switch board 12 passes through two links. The network interface modules (131 and 141) on the service board 13 and the service board 14 are respectively connected. The function type of the modules at both ends of the link must be - corresponding, the function type refers to the protocol type of the transmitted data, such as Ethernet (Ethernet), FC (Fiber Channel, Fibre Channel), PCIE (PCI-Express, bus interface) , SAS (Serial Attached SCSI, Serial Attached Small Computer System Interface), etc. If the switch module is an Ethernet switch, then It can be connected to an Ethernet card to ensure that the protocols at both ends of the link are the same.

出于冗余备份或者业务流量负荷分担作用考虑，框式通信设备中相同功能的交换模块通常配置有两个，如图 la所示，交换模块 111与交换模块 121中任意一个作为主用模块，而另一个则为该主用模块的冗余模块或备用模块。这两个交换模块都支持第一功能，与它们连接的网络接口模块 131及网络接口模块 141也必须为支持第一功能的网络接口模块。 For the purpose of redundancy backup or service traffic load sharing, the switch module of the same function in the frame communication device is usually configured with two. As shown in FIG. 1a, any one of the switch module 111 and the switch module 121 serves as the main module. The other is the redundancy module or the standby module of the main module. Both switch modules support the first function, and the network interface module 131 and the network interface module 141 connected to them must also be network interface modules supporting the first function.

如果由于设备功能的需要，要将交换板 11与交换板 12分别更换为支持第二功能的交换板 15与交换板 16, 如图 lb所示，则根据上面描述的链路两端的模块的功能类型必须是——对应的，与两个交换模块（ 151及 161 ) 连接的网络接口模块必须更换为支持第二功能的网络接口模块（ 171 及 181 ) 。 If the switch board 11 and the switch board 12 are replaced with the switch board 15 and the switch board 16 that support the second function, as shown in FIG. 1b, the functions of the modules at both ends of the link are described above. The type must be - correspondingly, the network interface module connected to the two switching modules (151 and 161) must be replaced with a network interface module (171 and 181) that supports the second function.

如果网络接口模块以固定连接的方式设置在业务板上时，更换网络接口模块的功能也就是更换业务板（如图 lb 中，将业务板 13及业务板 14 分别更换为业务板 17及业务板 18 ) , 当连接被更换的交换模块的业务板个数较多时，手工更换不仅容易出错，还增加了框式通信设备的成本。当业务板上同时设置有多个功能不同的网络接口模块，以分别连接设备中多种功能的交换模块时，定制该业务板的成本较高，更换业务板会导致框式通信设备的成本增加得更多。 If the network interface module is installed on the service board in a fixed connection mode, the function of replacing the network interface module is to replace the service board. As shown in Figure lb, replace the service board 13 and the service board 14 with the service board 17 and the service board. 18) When the number of service boards connected to the replaced switch module is large, manual replacement is not only error-prone, but also increases the cost of the frame communication device. When the service board is configured with multiple network interface modules with different functions to connect to the switch modules of multiple functions in the device, the cost of customizing the service board is high. The replacement of the service board causes the cost of the frame communication device to increase. Got more.

如果网络接口模块以可拔插的扣板（或子卡）的方式设置在业务板上时，虽然不需要更换业务板，但更换网络接口模块时一样需要手工操作，也存在上述容易出错及成本高的问题，而且扣板或子卡的连接方式使链路经过了较多的连接器，引入了很多干扰和噪声，对设备的稳定性和高速信号的信号完整性造成不利影响。发明内容 If the network interface module is installed on the service board in the form of a pluggable daughter card (or daughter card), although the service board does not need to be replaced, the manual operation is required when the network interface module is replaced. The above-mentioned error-prone and cost are also present. The high problem, and the way the gusset or daughter card is connected, causes the link to pass through more connectors, introducing a lot of interference and noise, which adversely affects the stability of the device and the signal integrity of the high-speed signal.

It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

实施例 1 Example 1

本实施例提供一种网络接口模块的端口配置方法，该方法的执行主体为管理模块，用于对框式通信设备的整个***做设备管理，包括配置、软件加载、日志管理、环境监控等，其物理实体可以是一块独立的单板，也可以是拼合在别的单板（业务板或交换板）上的一个独立的功能模块（如芯片、芯片组或芯片内的部分电路），如图 2所示，该配置方法包括如下步骤。 The embodiment provides a method for configuring a port of a network interface module. The execution entity of the method is a management module, which is used to perform device management on the entire system of the frame communication device, including configuration, software loading, log management, and environment monitoring. The physical entity can be a separate board or a separate function module (such as a chip, chipset, or part of a chip) that is placed on another board (service board or switch board). As shown in 2, the configuration method includes the following steps.

201、接收配置指示，以指示需要进行配置的网络接口模块的第一端口。 201. Receive a configuration indication to indicate a first port of the network interface module that needs to be configured.

具体地，配置指示用于触发管理模块对网络接口模块的端口配置操作，配置指示可以是框式通信设备中的硬件（交换板或业务板）复位后产生的电信号，例如：交换插槽上更换或添加具有新功能的交换板时，交换板***交换插槽就会复位，从而产生配置指示。 Specifically, the configuration indication is used to trigger a port configuration operation of the management module to the network interface module, and the configuration indication may be an electrical signal generated after the hardware (switch board or service board) in the frame communication device is reset, for example: on the switch slot When a switch board with a new function is replaced or added, the switch board is inserted into the swap slot and reset, resulting in a configuration indication.

配置指示还可以是业务板复位时产生的配置指示，该复位包括业务板上电时的复位，或者故障时由管理模块控制的被动复位，上述交换板的复位也包括上电复位及被动复位；配置指示还可以是所述业务板及所述交换板所属的框式通信设备上电时复位产生的配置指示，或是其它触发网络接口模块配置操作的指示，如用户通过软件接口向管理模块发起的配置指示。 The configuration indication may also be a configuration indication generated when the service board is reset. The reset includes a reset when the service is powered on, or a passive reset controlled by the management module when the fault occurs. The reset of the switch board also includes a power-on reset and a passive reset. The configuration indication may also be a configuration indication generated by the resetting of the service board and the frame communication device to which the switch board belongs, or other indications that trigger the configuration operation of the network interface module, such as the user launching to the management module through the software interface. Configuration instructions.

管理模块接收到该配置指示后，能确定需要进行配置的网络接口模块的第一端口，此处的 "第一 "并不是对网络接口模块上端口位置和数量的限制，而是为了在名称上与下述的交换模块上的端口相区别。例如，当接收到交换板复位产生的配置指示后，管理模块能根据交换板及业务板之间的端口的固有连接关系，确定与该交换板上交换模块的各端口连接的各网络接口模块上的端口，从而将这些网络接口模块上的端口确定为需要进行配置的网络接口模块的第一端口。当收到业务板复位时产生的配置指示后，能确定该业务板上的网络接口模块的所有端口为需要进行配置的网络接口模块的第一端口。当收到框式通信设备上电时复位产生的配置指示后，能确定设备上所有业务板上的网络接口模块的所有端口为需要进行配置的网络接口模块的第一端口。 After receiving the configuration indication, the management module can determine the first port of the network interface module that needs to be configured. The "first" here is not a limitation on the port location and number on the network interface module, but in order to be on the name. It is different from the port on the switch module described below. For example, when receiving After the configuration of the switch is reset, the management module can determine the ports on the network interface modules connected to the ports of the switch module on the switch board according to the inherent connection relationship between the switch board and the service board. The ports on these network interface modules are determined to be the first ports of the network interface modules that need to be configured. After receiving the configuration indication generated when the service board is reset, it can be determined that all ports of the network interface module on the service board are the first ports of the network interface module that need to be configured. After receiving the configuration indication generated by the reset of the frame communication device, it can be determined that all ports of the network interface module on all service boards on the device are the first ports of the network interface module that need to be configured.

202、获取所述第一端口所支持的协议类型，并获取与所述第一端口物理连接的第二端口的协议类型，所述第二端口位于交换模块上，且所述第一端口所支持的协议类型包括至少两种协议类型。 202. Obtain a protocol type supported by the first port, and obtain a protocol type of a second port that is physically connected to the first port, where the second port is located on a switching module, and the first port supports The protocol type includes at least two protocol types.

具体地，本实施例采用了与现有技术不同的网络接口模块，该网络接口模块是一种功能融合型的模块，它的端口所支持的协议类型包括至少两种协议类型。例如 Ethernet, FC、 PCIE、 SAS等。本步骤中，管理模块会获取网络接口模块上第一端口所支持的协议类型，并获取与所述第一端口物理连接的、位于交换模块上的第二端口的协议类型。 Specifically, the embodiment adopts a network interface module different from the prior art. The network interface module is a function-integrated module, and the protocol types supported by the port include at least two protocol types. For example, Ethernet, FC, PCIE, SAS, etc. In this step, the management module obtains the protocol type supported by the first port on the network interface module, and obtains the protocol type of the second port located on the switch module that is physically connected to the first port.

203、如果所述第二端口的协议类型属于所述第一端口所支持的协议类型，则将所述第一端口的端口参数配置为与所述第二端口的端口参数相匹配。 203. If the protocol type of the second port belongs to a protocol type supported by the first port, configure a port parameter of the first port to match a port parameter of the second port.

具体地，网络接口模块的第一端口与交换模块的第二端口物理连接，从而在第一端口与第二端口间形成链路，该链路两端的端口进行通信时，必须具有相互匹配的端口参数，其中包括具有相同的协议类型以及与该协议类型相关的其它参数，因此，当第二端口的协议类型属于第一端口所支持的协议类型时，即第一端口支持第二端口上已配置好的协议类型时，管理模块将第一端口的端口参数配置为与第二端口的端口参数相匹配，使得链路两端的端口能正常通信。 Specifically, the first port of the network interface module is physically connected to the second port of the switch module, so that a link is formed between the first port and the second port, and the ports at both ends of the link must have matching ports when communicating. The parameter includes the same protocol type and other parameters related to the protocol type. Therefore, when the protocol type of the second port belongs to the protocol type supported by the first port, that is, the first port supports the configured on the second port. When a good protocol type is used, the management module configures the port parameters of the first port to match the port parameters of the second port, so that the ports at both ends of the link can communicate normally.

本实施例中，由于采用了功能融合型的网络接口模块，其上的端口能支持至少两种协议类型，且当与该网络接口模块上端口物理连接的、交换模块上的端口的协议类型，属于该网络接口模块上端口的协议类型时，管理模块通过设置该网络接口模块上端口的端口参数，使其与相连的交换模块上端口的端口参数相匹配，实现了网络接口模块功能的自动配置，从而降低更换不同功能的网络接口模块时的维护成本和设备成本。 In this embodiment, since the function fusion type network interface module is adopted, the port on the port can Supporting at least two types of protocols, and when the protocol type of the port on the switch module physically connected to the port on the network interface module belongs to the protocol type of the port on the network interface module, the management module is configured by setting the network interface module The port parameters of the port are matched with the port parameters of the port on the connected switch module, which implements the automatic configuration of the network interface module function, thereby reducing the maintenance cost and equipment cost when replacing the network interface module with different functions.

上述网络接口模块的端口配置方法中还可包括如下步骤。 The port configuration method of the foregoing network interface module may further include the following steps.

204、如果所述第二端口的协议类型不属于所述第一端口所支持的协议类型，则生成错误信息，以通知用户无法对所述第一端口的端口参数进行配置。 204. If the protocol type of the second port does not belong to a protocol type supported by the first port, generate an error message to notify the user that the port parameter of the first port cannot be configured.

具体地，错误信息可通过可视的方式通知用户无法对所述第一端口的端口参数进行配置，例如，使报警灯闪烁或将错误信息显示在与框式通信设备连接的显示器上，或是以本领域技术人员所知的其它方式通知用户无法对所述第一端口的端口参数进行配置。 Specifically, the error information may visually notify the user that the port parameters of the first port cannot be configured, for example, blinking the alarm light or displaying the error information on the display connected to the frame communication device, or The user is notified in other ways known to those skilled in the art that the port parameters of the first port cannot be configured.

上述的端口参数可包括端口模式及链路参数，其中端口模式就是端口的协议类型，链路参数可包括与该协议类型相关的物理端口的驱动能力、预加重、均衡等，链路参数具体包含的内容会根据端口的物理连接方式的变化而变化。由于网络接口模块所属的业务板在框式通信设备中的物理位置（插槽的位置）不同，因此，网络接口模块上端口与交换模块上端口间的链路长度也不同，使得不同网络接口模块上端口的链路参数值也不同。 The port parameters may include a port mode and a link parameter, where the port mode is a protocol type of the port, and the link parameter may include a driving capability, a pre-emphasis, an equalization, and the like of the physical port related to the protocol type, and the link parameter specifically includes The content will change depending on how the port is physically connected. Because the physical location (slot location) of the service board to which the network interface module belongs is different in the frame communication device, the link length between the port on the network interface module and the port on the switch module is different, so that different network interface modules are different. The link parameter values of the upper port are also different.

因此，所述将所述第一端口的端口参数配置为与所述第二端口的端口参数相匹配，这个步骤可具体包括：使所述第一端口的端口模式与所述第二端口的端口模式相同；根据所述第一端口与所述第二端口之间链路的长度，为所述第一端口配置相应的链路参数。 Therefore, the step of configuring the port parameter of the first port to match the port parameter of the second port, the step may specifically include: making a port mode of the first port and a port of the second port The mode is the same; the corresponding port parameter is configured for the first port according to the length of the link between the first port and the second port.

通过上述步骤能使端口参数配置更合理，更能满足网络接口模块的实际需求。 Through the above steps, the port parameter configuration can be more reasonable, and the actual requirements of the network interface module can be better met.

上述网络接口模块的端口配置方法中，管理模块获取网络接口模块上第一端口所支持的协议类型的方式有两种：第一种是网络接口模块主动向管理模块上报其所支持的协议类型，例如在其所属的业务板复位完成时主动向管理模块上报其所支持的协议类型，第二种是管理模块发命令，指示网络接口模块上报其所支持的协议类型。 In the port configuration method of the network interface module, the management module obtains the protocol types supported by the first port on the network interface module in two ways: The first one is that the network interface module actively The management module reports the type of the protocol it supports. For example, when the service board to which the service board belongs is reset, the management module reports the type of the protocol it supports. The second type is the management module sends a command to instruct the network interface module to report the supported version. agreement type.

第二种方式具体的实现步骤可包括：向所述网络接口模块下发第一请求消息，然后接收所述网络接口模块发送的第一响应消息，其中包括所述网络接口模块上所述第一端口所支持的协议类型。 The specific implementation step of the second mode may include: sending a first request message to the network interface module, and then receiving a first response message sent by the network interface module, where the first The type of protocol supported by the port.

另外，管理模块获取交换模块上第二端口的协议类型的方式类似的也有两种：第一种是交换模块主动向管理模块上报其协议类型，例如在其所属的交换板复位完成时主动向管理模块上报其协议类型，第二种是管理模块发命令，指示交换模块上报其协议类型。 In addition, the management module obtains the protocol type of the second port on the switch module in the same manner. The first type is that the switch module actively reports the protocol type to the management module, for example, when the switch board to which the switch belongs is actively managed. The module reports its protocol type, and the second is that the management module sends a command to instruct the switch module to report its protocol type.

第二种方式具体的实现步骤可包括：向所述交换模块下发第二请求消息，然后接收所述交换模块发送的第二响应消息，其中包括所述交换模块上所述第二端口的协议类型。下面举例对网络接口模块的端口配置方法进行详细说明。 The specific implementation step of the second mode may include: sending a second request message to the switching module, and then receiving a second response message sent by the switching module, where the protocol of the second port on the switching module is included Types of. The following describes the port configuration method of the network interface module in detail.

示例 1 Example 1

刀片服务器是一种框式通信设备，如图 3所示，其中包括：服务器板 31 (业务板 ) 及交换板 32及管理模块 33 , 管理模块 33与服务器板 31及交换板 32 连接。服务器板 31 上包括处理器 311、基板管理控制器 312 ( Baseboard Management Controller , 筒称为： BMC ) 及网卡控制器 313 , 其中，网卡控制器 313作为网络接口模块，交换板 32上的交换平面 321 (芯片 )作为交换模块，网卡控制器 313的第一端口 3131通过链路与交换芯片 321的第二端口 3211连接。本例中的网卡控制器支持 Ethernet、FC、 FCoE ( Fibre Channel over Ethernet , 以太网光纤通道）接口协议，交换芯片的协议类型为 FC协议。当然，此处描述的网卡控制器支持的协议类型及交换芯片的协议类型并不是对网卡控制器及交换芯片功能的限制，网卡控制器、交换芯片还可以支持 PCIE、 SAS等协议类型。在刀片服务器上电时复位产生配置指示，管理模块 33 收到该配置指示会读取交换板 32上交换芯片 321和服务器板 31上网卡控制器 313的信息，包括支持的功能和端口的协议类型或端口支持的协议类型等。服务器板自身复位，或者交换板自身复位，管理模块也会收到配置指示并重新获取它们的信息。 The blade server is a type of frame communication device. As shown in FIG. 3, the server includes a server board 31 (service board) and a switch board 32 and a management module 33. The management module 33 is connected to the server board 31 and the switch board 32. The server board 31 includes a processor 311, a baseboard management controller 312 (baseboard management controller, BMC), and a network card controller 313. The network card controller 313 functions as a network interface module, and the switching plane 321 on the switch board 32. (Chip) As a switching module, the first port 3131 of the network card controller 313 is connected to the second port 3211 of the switch chip 321 via a link. The NIC controller in this example supports Ethernet, FC, and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) interface protocols. The protocol type of the switch chip is FC. Of course, the type of protocol supported by the network card controller and the protocol type of the switch chip described herein are not limitations on the functions of the network card controller and the switch chip. The network card controller and the switch chip can also support protocol types such as PCIE and SAS. When the blade server is powered on, the reset generates a configuration indication, and the management module 33 receives the configuration indication to read the information of the switch chip 321 and the server board 31 network card controller 313 on the switch board 32, including the supported functions and the protocol type of the port. Or the type of protocol supported by the port, etc. The server board resets itself, or the switch board itself resets, and the management module also receives configuration instructions and reacquires their information.

管理模块 33获取到交换芯片 321的第二端口 3211的协议类型是 FC 协议，而且获取到网卡控制器 313的第一端口 3131支持 Ethernet, FC、 FCoE接口协议，由于第二端口 3211的协议类型（FC协议）属于第一端口 3131所支持的协议类型，因此网卡控制器 313可以与交换芯片 321建立 FC连接。 The protocol type of the second port 3211 of the switch chip 321 is obtained by the management module 33, and the first port 3131 of the network card controller 313 is supported by the Ethernet, FC, FCoE interface protocol, because of the protocol type of the second port 3211 ( The FC protocol belongs to the protocol type supported by the first port 3131, so the network card controller 313 can establish an FC connection with the switch chip 321.

管理模块 33把网卡控制器 313的端口模式（FC协议模式）和链路参数等参数，下发到网卡控制器 313 , 如果与交换板连接的业务板有多个，管理模块 33则把网络接口模块的端口模式（ FC协议模式 )和链路参数等参数分别下发到各个网络接口模块。由于各业务板在刀片服务器中的物理位置（插槽的位置）不一样，所以连接至交换芯片 321的不同的业务板上的网络接口模块虽然端口模式都是 FC协议模式，但相关的链路参数（例如 SerDes的驱动能力、预加重、均衡等）会存在不同，管理模块 33需要根据不同位置的网络接口模块下发不同的链路参数。 The management module 33 sends the parameters of the port mode (FC protocol mode) and the link parameters of the network card controller 313 to the network card controller 313. If there are multiple service boards connected to the switch board, the management module 33 sets the network interface. Parameters such as the port mode (FC protocol mode) and link parameters of the module are delivered to each network interface module. Since the physical location (slot location) of the service boards in the blade server is different, the network interface modules connected to the different service boards of the switch chip 321 are in the FC protocol mode, but the related links. The parameters (such as the driving capability of the SerDes, the pre-emphasis, the equalization, etc.) may be different. The management module 33 needs to deliver different link parameters according to the network interface modules of different locations.

服务器板 31的 BMC312接收到管理模块 33下发的端口模式和链路参数等参数后，转发给处理器 311 , 处理器 311通过软件接口对网卡控制器 313执行端口配置操作，把端口模式（ FC协议模式 )和链路参数配置到指定的网卡控制器 313上的第一端口 3131那里。 The BMC 312 of the server board 31 receives the parameters such as the port mode and the link parameters sent by the management module 33, and forwards the parameters to the processor 311. The processor 311 performs a port configuration operation on the network card controller 313 through the software interface, and sets the port mode (FC). The protocol mode) and the link parameters are configured to the first port 3131 on the designated network card controller 313.

网卡控制器 313上第一端口 3131 的端口模式和链路参数配置完后，重新初始化，并与交换芯片 321的第二端口 3211建立连接，实现通信。 After the port mode and the link parameters of the first port 3131 of the network card controller 313 are configured, the interface is re-initialized, and a connection is established with the second port 3211 of the switch chip 321 to implement communication.

上述对网卡控制器 313的端口模式和链路参数的配置可以分为两种情况： The above configuration of the port mode and link parameters of the network card controller 313 can be divided into two cases:

网卡控制器 313的端口默认设置为一种协议模式，例如 Ethernet。当管理模块 33下发的端口参数需要将该端口修改为别的端口模式，例如 FC , 则处理器 311对网卡控制器 313执行端口参数的修改，从而实现端口自动配置。 The port of the NIC controller 313 is set by default to a protocol mode, such as Ethernet. when The port parameter sent by the management module 33 needs to be modified into another port mode, such as FC, and the processor 311 performs port parameter modification on the network card controller 313 to implement port automatic configuration.

网卡控制器 313的端口不指定默认模式，每次进行端口配置时，处理器 311都需要根据管理模块 33下发的配置信息执行对网卡控制器的端口参数的修改。示例 2 The port of the network card controller 313 does not specify a default mode. Each time the port is configured, the processor 311 needs to perform the modification of the port parameters of the network card controller according to the configuration information sent by the management module 33. Example 2

Similarly, one switch board can include At least one switch module. In Figure 4, a switch module 41 is provided on the blade server, which supports both FC and FCoE protocols.

Next, the management module 44 obtains the protocol types supported by the ports on the two network interface modules (42 and 43), and obtains the protocol type of the port on the switch module that is physically connected to the port.

随后，根据交换模块 41 上各端口的协议类型，为网络接口模块（ 42 和 43 )上相应的端口配置端口参数，使得交换模块 41与网络接口模块（ 42 和 43 ) 间链路两端的端口的端口参数相匹配，即交换模块 41与网络接口模块 42间链路两端的端口连接使用 FC协议，交换模块 41与网络接口模块 43间链路两端的端口连接使用 FCoE协议。网络接口模块（ 42和 43 ) 的端口参数配置流程与示例 1相似，在此不再赘述。 Then, according to the protocol type of each port on the switch module 41, port parameters are configured for the corresponding ports on the network interface modules (42 and 43), so that the ports at both ends of the link between the switch module 41 and the network interface modules (42 and 43) The port parameters match, that is, the switch module 41 and the network interface The port connection between the two ends of the link between the modules 42 uses the FC protocol, and the ports on both ends of the link between the switch module 41 and the network interface module 43 use the FCoE protocol.
