Abstract
In an example, an aggregation router encapsulates a first Console command as a control packet in an Ethernet format, determines a target branch router of the control packet, and transmits the control packet to the target branch router via an Ethernet link between the aggregation router and the target branch router, so that the target branch router can decapsulate the control packet to obtain and execute the first Console command. The aggregation router receives a feedback packet from the target branch router via the Ethernet link between the aggregation router and the target branch router, wherein the feedback packet comprises an output result obtained by the target branch router through executing the first Console command.
Claims12
A router controlling method, to be implemented by an aggregation router, comprising:
- encapsulating a first Console command as a control packet in an Ethernet format;
- determining a target branch router of the control packet, transmitting the control packet to the target branch router via an Ethernet link between the aggregation router and the target branch router;
- and
- receiving a feedback packet from the target branch router via the Ethernet link between the aggregation router and the target branch router, wherein the feedback packet comprises an output result obtained by the target branch router through executing the first Console command.
A router controlling method, to be implemented by a branch router, comprising:
- receiving an Ethernet packet from an aggregation router via an Ethernet link between the branch router and the aggregation router, wherein a first Console command is encapsulated in the Ethernet packet;
- decapsulating the Ethernet packet to obtain the first Console command;
- executing the first Console command;
- and
- transmitting a feedback packet to the aggregation router via the Ethernet link between the branch router and the aggregation router, wherein the feedback packet comprises an output result executed by the branch router through executing the first Console command.
A router controlling apparatus implemented by an aggregation router, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory machine readable storage medium storing instructions to be executed by processor, the instructions comprising:
- a packet encapsulating instruction, to encapsulate a first Console command as a control packet in an Ethernet format;
- a packet transmitting instruction, to determine a target branch router of the control packet, transmit the control packet to the target branch router via an Ethernet link between the aggregation router and the target branch router;
- and
- a feedback receiving instruction, to receive a feedback packet from the target branch router via the Ethernet link between the aggregation router and the target branch router, wherein the feedback packet comprises an output result obtained by the target branch router through executing the first Console command.
A router controlling apparatus implemented by a branch router, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory machine readable storage medium storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions comprising:
- a packet receiving instruction, to receive an Ethernet packet from an aggregation router via an Ethernet link between the branch router and the aggregation router, wherein a first Console command is encapsulated in the Ethernet packet;
- a first command executing instruction, to decapsulate the Ethernet packet to obtain the first Console command, and execute the first Console command;
- and
- a feedback instruction, to transmit a feedback packet to the aggregation router via the Ethernet link between the branch router and the aggregation router, wherein the feedback packet comprises an output result executed by the branch router through executing the first Console command.
