Method and device for managing network topology

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for managing network topology, which comprises the following steps: abstracting out equipment base classes from network equipment, deriving equipment derived classes from the equipment base classes, and forming an equipment class derivation tree by the equipment base classes and the equipment derived classes; selecting an equipment class on the equipment class derivation tree according to the objective network topology to be described, and instantiating the equipment class to acquire a logical equipment object; configuring an attribute value for the attribute of the logical equipment object acquired through instantiation; and establishing a topological relationship for the logical equipment object finishing attribute value configuration to acquire the logical topology of the mapping objective network topology. The invention also discloses a device for managing the network topology. By adopting the method and the device, the description of the logical topology for the network topology can be simplified, and the level of network topology management can be embodied.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network topology, in particular to a network topology management method and device. Background technique [0002] Network topology refers to the architecture of network devices and the form of networking between network devices in a communication network environment. With the development of science and technology, there are more and more types of network devices, and the network scale and network layers are also becoming larger and larger, which makes the management of network topology more and more difficult. How to deal with the network topology and how to describe the topology to facilitate maintenance is a concern in network management. [0003] Generally, in network topology processing, corresponding logical devices are created for different network devices in a communication network environment, and these logical devices are used to describe network devices and network topology. Since there are many network...

Problems solved by technology

When it comes to graphics, you have to consider the hierarchical and classified management of logical devices, and when logical devices describe network devices, many attributes will be introduced; Graphically display the associated attributes, so the attributes will expand rapidly, so if there is no good management strategy, the management and maintenance of attributes will become more and more difficult
