Method and system for assigning a plurality of macs to a plurality of processors |
摘要 |
A bank of processing units (100a-100e) is connected to a number of LANs via a bank of MAC controllers (102a-102e). An interconnect switch (101) allows any of the processing units (100a-100e) to access any of the MAC controllers (102a-102e). A housekeeping processor (103, 104) periodically detects faults in the connectivity of the processing units (100a-100e) to the LANs. When a fault is detected, a redundant processing unit is assigned to be connected to the LAN. If a fault still exists, then a redundant MAC controller is assigned to the redundant processing unit. The MAC address of the previous MAC controller is reassigned to the redundant MAC controller.
