Method for managing and setting a plurality of network devices

Abstract

The invention provides a managing and setting method of a plurality of network devices, wherein, the setting method of the network devices is applied in a network management system combined with a management server and a plurality of network devices. Firstly, the management server seeks out the network device connected with the server, and appoints one of the network device connected with the management server as a main control network device. Secondly, the main control network device seeks out all network devices connected with the main control network device, and the sought network device is set as a candidate network device. Finally, at least one candidate network device is appointed as a sub-network device of the main control network device. Consequently, the management server can manage all sub-network devices connected with the main control network device only needing use single network address (IP Address) after setting is completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for setting multiple network devices, especially a method for enabling a management server to manage multiple slave network devices through the master network device by only using a single network address of a master network device. Specifically, it is a management and configuration method for a plurality of network devices. Background technique [0002] In recent years, due to the vigorous development of the network world, various network devices have been continuously developed and widely used in their living and working environments by all walks of life. This development trend not only accelerates the speed of information circulation and Efficiency, and bring great convenience to people's life and work. Many enterprises today use local area networks or the Internet to transmit internal or external information. However, a large number of various network devices also brings many management problems to networ...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] 1. All managed network devices need to have their own independent network address (IP Address), and any network device cannot have the same network address as another network device;

[0009] 2. The management personnel must know the network address of each network device in order to correctly log in to the setting screen of each network device. From the above description, it can be seen that the network management personnel not only need to know the default network address of each network device, It is still necessary to have the concept and ability of network address setting and management;

[0010] 3. When actually setting or modifying each network device, it is necessary to first find out the network address of the first network device, log in to the setting screen, set it, and then leave; then find out the network address of the next network device The network address of the device, log in, set up, and then leave; in this way, execute repeatedly until all network devices are set up. Therefore, if there are ten network devices, the administrator must perform similar settings ten times Once the settings are changed in the future, the above-mentioned setting actions (including the management terminal and the user terminal) must be performed again, which is a very labor-intensive and time-consuming project;
