Network management system and method using same for testing network equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to a network management system and a method using the same for testing network equipment. The network management system comprises a setting module, a schedule module, an on-linemodule and a sensing module, wherein the setting module is used for setting the information of network equipment to be tested, the schedule module is used for arranging test operations for at least one network device , the on-line module is used for linking the network devices at a first test time, and the sensing module senses whether the network devices are in an idle state or not after linkingand delivers test instructions to obtain the test result of the network devices when the network devices are in the idle state.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a network management system and a method for testing network equipment, in particular to a network management system capable of testing multiple network equipment and a method for using the system to test network equipment. Background technique [0002] With the development of telecommunication services, a large number of diverse network devices are constantly being used to meet user needs. However, due to the increasing number of users and the increasingly complex functions performed by users, network equipment may encounter various types of failures at any time, so it is generally necessary to monitor network equipment in real time during its working process , so that it can be eliminated as soon as possible when a network device fails. [0003] In order to achieve the function of real-time monitoring of network devices, in the prior art, network administrators can use a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to detect th...

[0004] However, in the prior art, the NMS can generally only detect the status of a single network module through the instructions in the SNMP protocol

For example, when it is necessary to use the NMS to test whether the public switched telephone network (PSTN) module in a network device is operating normally, it can only send an SNMP command to the PSTN module, and the work efficiency is very low

Therefore, this prior art is only suitable for use as a means of debugging during emergencies. If it is necessary to simultaneously detect several network modules at one time, it must be considered whether the network module is in a busy state at this time. If the network module If you are in a busy state and must reply to SNMP commands, it is likely to cause a decline in network service quality
