A method for searching network element device and establishing topology connection in network management system

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for searching network element equipment and establishing topologic connection in a network management system, which includes that any network element equipment discovers adjacent network element equipment by the communication protocol between equipment and stores the positioning information thereof; custom instruction launches searching, and the network management server (11) transmits the protocol packet in the fixed format to the network element equipment related to the custom instruction; the network element equipment queries the information and transmits the responsive protocol packet; the network management server (11) analyzes the responsive protocol packet and establishes the logically-corresponding entity of new network element equipment; new searching branches are established by the new network element equipment until that that the custom instruction finally presents the result at the client end (13) is accomplished. The method disperses the memory information, the information of automatic neighbor discovery of network element equipment and the information of adding memory topologic connection etc. within all network element equipment, realizes the rapid and efficient searching and enhances the reliability of the searching results, saves data processing time and memory space, and has a plurality of modes of entire network and designated network element equipment and a function of searching topologic connection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a network management system, in particular to an effective method for the network management system to automatically search for network element equipment and establish topology connections. Background technique [0002] As shown in Figure 1, the general network management system adopts C / S architecture, including four components, namely client GUI 13, server Server 11, database DB 14, network element device embedded module / network management agent Agent 12. Usually, to manage a network element device, the network management system needs to specify the necessary location information of the network element device, such as address, network element device name, network element device ID, device type, etc., so as to establish a manageable The logical corresponding entity represents the network element device. In this way, if the user does not know the location information of some network element devices, it is impossible to manage ...

Problems solved by technology

In the above method, since the information of adjacent network element devices is centrally placed in one network element device / gateway network element device, the searched network element devices can only be exchanged with this network element device / gateway network element device. Information network element equipment, the scalability is not strong

[0006] In addition, in the network element device search technology, ① the diversity of search methods, ② the ability to search the entire network, and ③ whether it has the ability to search for any network element device that already exists in the network management as the source network element device are also important indicators. The method does not have the ability to search the entire network, the search method is single, and only the gateway network element device can be used as the source network element device for searching

[0007] Furthermore, the above method and the current network element device search technology generally only search for network element devices, but lack the ability to discover topology connections
