Method for implementing network appliance to automatically collocation install

Abstract

The invention provides a method for achieving automatic configuration and installation of network device, in particular to a network management system comprising a network management client terminal, a network management server, a software center, a configuration server and a DHCP server for an automatic configuration and installation of a blade server in an internet-based interactive television network. According to an overall network layout, the blade server is subjected to pre-configuration via the client terminal of the network management. According to physical location information of theblade server, a network interface configuration can be obtained via an extended DHCP and the configuration server and the software center is accessible to acquire a logic configuration and to download softwares to carry out automatic configuration and installation , thus achieving a plug-and-play characteristics of the blade server in network. The method avoids complicated installation and configuration operation of large amount and manual installation and configuration of the local computers one by one in the blade server, thus saving the maintenance and installation cost.

Description

A method for realizing automatic configuration and installation of network equipment technical field The invention relates to a method for automatic installation, in particular to a method for realizing the automatic deployment and configuration of a large number of blade servers in a telecommunication network based on the DHCP protocol and network planning information. Background technique The deployment and expansion of telecom networks often involve a large number of blade server (BLADE) installation configurations, which often require on-site personnel to do some tedious and repetitive work, including: Network interface configuration: IP address, gateway, DNS, host name and other network interface information; Firmware and basic service installation / upgrade: manually install / upgrade image / firmware components of the server; Configuration of basic services that application software depends on: time zone, NTP, SYSLOG and other basic service information; Network mana...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the existing methods usually solve the problem that the network equipment has been initialized, and the network management system automatically configures the parameters of the network equipment.

It is impossible to achieve plug-and-install and use only based on the physical location of network devices.
