Method and device for allocating at least one routing identifier to at least one bridge in a network

摘要

The invention relates to a method for allocating at least one identifier known as routing identifier to at least one bridge (1002, 1008, 1009, 1010, 1012) of a network (1000), the said bridge comprising at least two interconnection equipment (1021, 1035) a first (1021) of which is connected to at least one first part (1014) of the said network, characterised in that each one of the interconnection equipment of the said bridge being in a "state" determined by reference to the allocation of an identifier to this interconnection equipment, the said method includes the following steps: determination (1041, 1042 ; 1051, 1052, 1053 ; 1056, 1057) of at least one "state" which corresponds to the "state" of the said at least one second interconnection equipment of the said bridge, deciding (1044 ; 1054 ; 1059) as to the allocation of an identifier to the at least one first interconnection equipment of the said bridge as a function of the said at least one determined "state".
