As shown in Figure 2, another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for port configuration of a switch, which may include the following steps:

Step 201: define a data document template, the data document template contains key-value pairs, and determine the included ports, and divide the public buffer area;

The switch includes a plurality of ports, and each port is assigned a port number. In this step, dividing the public buffer area is mainly to divide an area in the memory of the switch as the public buffer area.

Step 202: Obtain a port list including information about each port;

Step 203: Create corresponding configuration data files for each port according to the data file template and the included key-value pairs;

In this step, the configuration data file can have a uniform format through the data file template, which facilitates the management of the configuration data file.

Step 204: Set the key value in the key value pair existing in the configuration data file as the default value;

For example: the key-value pairs contained in the data file: port number: ×××; port IP: ×××; basic port information: ×××, etc., in this step, avoid blank key values by setting default values , to facilitate modification in subsequent steps, such as: the default value of the port IP can be set to 0.0.0.0; the default value of the port number can be set to 000000 and so on.

Step 205: Write the port number of each port in the port list into the configuration data file corresponding to each port, and store the configuration data file;

In this step, the port number of the port is used as the key value to fill in the corresponding port number key-value pair. Then, when the user queries the configuration data file corresponding to the port, it can be determined according to the port number in the configuration data file. The configuration data document, in addition, in this step, the configuration data document may be stored in a MongoDB non-relational database.

Step 206: Determine all configuration information and the first port among the ports connected to the first node;

For example, if it is determined in the configuration information that the IP of port a is 112.168.0.1, then the default IP value 0.0.0.0 can be modified to 112.168.0.1 in the configuration data file corresponding to the port a.

The above steps are mainly the process of configuring data files for each port. When a port fails, the node connected to the faulty port needs to be reconnected to a free port or a standby port. Then, the migration method of the configuration data corresponding to the faulty port will be directly Affect the recovery of the network. In the embodiment of the present invention, by directly copying the key value in the configuration data file corresponding to the faulty port to the idle port or standby port that establishes a new connection with the node, the port configuration of the idle port or the standby port can be quickly completed, then The process from searching for idle ports or spare ports to migrating configuration data in the configuration data file can be completed through steps 209 to 216 .

Step 209: When the second port connected to the second node fails, determine the occupancy of each port, and provide an idle port or a spare port according to the occupancy;

In this step, when a port fails, the switch can issue a warning to notify the user. The user can obtain the occupancy status of each port by viewing the command of the port. For example, the user can enter showport in the command window, and the switch will provide the user with information about whether each port is occupied, faulty, or idle.

Step 210: Connect the second node to the third port in the idle port or the spare port;

In this step, the user can change the physical connection between the node and the port, so that the node can be connected to an idle port or a standby port.

Step 211: receiving a connection switching command;

When the user changes the physical connection between the node and the port, the change is notified to the switch in the form of a connection switching command through the command window.

Step 212: Parse the port numbers of the second port and the third port in the connection switching command;

Step 213: According to the port number, determine the configuration data file corresponding to the second port and the configuration data file corresponding to the third port;

Step 214: Store the key value in the configuration data file corresponding to the second port to the public cache, and restore the key value in the configuration data file corresponding to the second port to a default value;

Through the public buffer area, direct interaction between configuration files can be avoided, and data error or loss caused by direct data transmission between configuration data files can be avoided, which will affect network connections.

Step 215: read the key value corresponding to the second port in the public cache;

Step 216: Using the key value corresponding to the second port, update the key value pair in the configuration data file corresponding to the third port.
