A method and device for discovering device configuration information

Abstract

The invention discloses a detecting method for the device configuration information, comprising: comparing a basic data and a strategy application data in the device side configuration information to a basic data and a strategy application data corresponding to the device in a network management side respectively, and marking the data according to the comparative result, then determining whether each device side basic data and strategy application data will be saved in the network management side according to each marking result respectively, and saving the basic data and the device mark of the device side which is needed to be saved to the network management side in the network management side correspondingly and respectively, saving the strategy application data and the device mark of the device side which is needed to be saved to the network management side in the network management side correspondingly and respectively. The invention also discloses a device for detecting the device configuration information. The technical proposal in the invention avoids the situation that the configuration information of different devices cover each other in the course of detecting the device configuration information.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network management, in particular to a method and device for discovering equipment configuration information. Background technique [0002] The automatic discovery process of device configuration information refers to obtaining the configuration information on the network device, and then according to the obtained configuration information, a set of the same configuration information is faithfully established on the network management side for reuse in subsequent management and maintenance projects. [0003] Currently, each group of classification-based quality of service (CBQoS) configuration information of a device includes: policy application data, flow policy, flow classification, and flow behavior. figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the relational structure among various components of equipment CBQoS configuration information in the prior art. Such as figure 1 As shown in , the content inside ea...

Problems solved by technology

[0019] However, the above process of automatically discovering the CBQoS configuration information of the device has the following disadvantages: there may be CBQoS configuration information with the same name on different devices, but its data content is not Not exactly the same, which makes the CBQoS configuration information discovery process on different devices affect each other, and the CBQoS configuration information of one device may be overwritten by the CBQoS configuration information of another device

For example, the policy application data A of device A and the policy application data B of device B both correspond to the flow policy named "flow policy 1", but the data contents of the two "flow policy 1" belonging to devices A and B respectively are not Not exactly the same (for example, "Traffic policy 1" belonging to device A is associated with traffic behaviors 1, 2, and 3, while "Flow policy 1" belonging to device B is associated with traffic behaviors 4 and 5); if the network management side In the process of first discovering the CBQoS configuration information of device A, the CBQoS configuration information named "flow policy 1" of device A is saved, and the policy application data A and the address pointer of "flow policy 1" are saved at the same time, then the network management In the process of discovering the CBQoS configuration information of device B later, the CBQoS configuration information named "flow policy 1" on device B will be marked as "conflicting data". If the "ignore" policy is adopted at this time, device B The "flow policy 1" of device A will not be saved to the network management side, and if the "overwrite" policy is adopted, the "flow policy 1" of device A will be overwritten, that is, the configuration information of only one device can be saved anyway, and the The configuration information of another device is lost

[0020] To sum up, in the existing automatic discovery process of CBQoS configuration information, there is a situation that the CBQoS configuration information of different devices overlaps each other
