METHOD, TOR SWITCH, AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING PROTECTION SWITCHOVER BASED ON TRILL NETWORK

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for implementing a protection switchover based on a TRILL network. A top of rack (TOR) switch acquires protection group information. The protection group information includes first link information of a connection between the TOR switch and a first center of rack (COR) switch and second link information of a connection between the TOR switch and a second COR switch. The TOR switch establishes a first link with the first COR switch according to the first link information and establishes a second link with the second COR switch according to the second link information. The TOR switch switches a service carried over the first link to the second link when the first link is a master link and if the first link is faulty.
