A search method for network element device

Abstract

The invention relates to a searching method of network element equipment, which decentralizes stored adjacent network element equipment information in all the network element equipment in the communication network. The method comprises the following steps. The network element equipment initiates searching to the adjacent network element equipment through the fixed format protocol package containing target network element equipment according to the stored adjacent network element equipment information or directly finds the target network element equipment according to the stored adjacent network element equipment information. When the targeted network element equipment cannot be found with searching initiated by all the network element equipment of the network, failure is returned. The method can decentralize stored information, automatically find adjacent network element equipment and add stored topological connection information to realize quick and efficient searching and improve the reliability of searching result. Data processing time and storage room are both saved. Besides, whole network, appointed network and other network element equipment searching are available. The invention also has the ability of topological connection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a network management system, in particular to a method for searching network element equipment. Background technique [0002] Such as 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 these network element devices. [0003] The way to solve the above problems is to use the netwo...

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
