Network management equipment, method and system for acquiring network appliance configuration information

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a network management equipment, a method for obtaining configuration information of the network equipment and a system thereof. The method for obtaining the configuration information of the network equipment comprises the steps: reading the information summary of the configuration information of the network equipment, checking the information summary and determining whether the configuration information of the network equipment is changed, and reading the configuration information of the network equipment on condition that the configuration information of the network equipment has been changed. By adopting the embodiment of the invention, the polling times of network management equipment for the network equipment configuration information can be reduced, thus improving the polling efficiency and decreasing the network burden.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to network management technology, in particular to a network management device, a method and a system for obtaining configuration information of the network device. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of network technology, the scale of various network systems is constantly expanding, how to effectively manage and control network systems has become the key to network operation. [0003] A network management system generally includes three basic components: network equipment, management workstations and management protocols. Network devices refer to network nodes such as routers and servers that need to be managed. Each node runs an application process called a device agent, which is used to track and monitor the status of the managed device; the management workstation runs the management platform application system , to convert the network administrator's command into the monitoring and control of networ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] During the creation process of the present invention, the inventor found that the above-mentioned prior art has the following disadvantages: since the design of the MIB table in the SNMP protocol does not separate the configuration information and the operation information of the network equipment, the table-level time stamp is easy to follow the state information change , causing the network management equipment to frequently trigger the table polling action, resulting in relatively large network traffic; and because the time stamp method only records changes, the time stamp cannot express whether the content of the configuration information has changed, resulting in even if the configuration of the network device The data has not changed, and the network management still needs to poll, which increases the network burden
