Network equipment configuration method, client, server and network system

Abstract

The invention discloses a network equipment configuration method, a client, a server and a network system, which belong to the field of network communication. The method comprises the following steps of: receiving a configuration submission request from the client, and caching configuration information in the configuration submission request; submitting the configuration information into a candidate dataset, and running and validating the configuration information to a running configuration database by using the candidate dataset; in a configuration conflict, updating a fundament dataset based on the current running configuration dataset; and acquiring the cached configuration information, re-executing the cached configuration information on the new fundamental dataset, running and validating the re-executed configuration information to the running configuration data set; and returning an execution result to the client. By the method, the client, the server and the network system, the requirements of concurrent configuration of a plurality of users are met, the operation concurrency of the plurality of users is improved, and the problems of low user concurrency and deadlock produced in overall locking or partial locking processing in the prior art are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network communication, in particular to a method for configuring network equipment, a client, a server and a network system. Background technique [0002] Configuring network devices refers to configuring switches, routers and other network devices to meet the networking needs of users and ensure smooth network communication. NETCONF (Network Configuration Protocol, Network Configuration Protocol) is a mechanism for managing network devices. Users can use this mechanism to obtain configuration and status information of network devices, and to add, modify and delete network devices. The client sends a configuration request to the server and submits the configuration information. After receiving the configuration information sent by the client, the server submits the configuration information to the candidate data set. The candidate data set is the running configuration data set when the user sends the configuration ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] When configuring network devices, it often happens that multiple users configure at the same time. When these users operate the running configuration data set of the same device at the same time, after one of the users configures successfully, the running configuration data set changes, while the other The candidate data set when the user submits the configuration is still the same as the running configuration data set before the change. At this time, when the candidate data set takes effect to run the configuration data set, the candidate data set is the same as the current running configuration data that has changed. The set does not match, the semantic check of the previous configuration information on the original candidate data set is invalid, resulting in a configuration conflict

[0004] In order to avoid configuration conflicts caused by multiple users configuring at the same time, the existing technology adopts an overall lock or a partial lock to avoid configuration conflicts, but whether it is locking the entire running configuration data set or locking the running configuration data set that needs to be protected in this operation Data sets, all make other clients unable to operate the locked data sets, resulting in configuration conflicts, reducing the concurrency of multi-user operations on the device, so that different users cannot configure at the same time; at the same time, when multiple users use partial locks at the same time to lock the same A data set is prone to deadlock problems
