METHOD FOR UPDATING ADDRESS TABLE OF ETHERNET RING NETWORK NODE AND CORRESPONDING ETHERNET RING NETWORK PROTECTION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention provides a method for updating an address table in an Ethernet ring network node and an Ethernet ring network node. When the Ethernet ring network node implements a port state switching operation and a port on the ring is switched from an unblocked state to a blocked state, the Ethernet ring network node updates its forwarding database. The method and the Ethernet ring network node of the present invention can accelerate update of the FDB in the node when a link fails or is recovered, thereby improving the convergence speed for the switching when the ring network fails.
