Automatic configuration method of network device and management server

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic configuration method of a network device and a management server. The automatic configuration method includes that: the management server builds corresponding relation between a gateway device downlink interface and configured contents of the network device; when the network device is powered on to be connected into the network, the management server receives alarming information of a downlink interface UP sent by a gateway device, generates a network device configuration state list according to the alarming information and receives request message sent by the network device and used for requesting configuration contents; the management server obtains the gateway device which is directly linked with the downlink interface and in untreated network configuration state from the network device configuration state list, and obtains the downlink interface of the gateway device used for acquiring the request message and directly linked with the network device from an address resolution protocol (ARP) list of the gateway device; and the management server sends corresponding configuration contents of the downlink interface of the gateway device to the network device to finish configuration. The method and the management server can achieve automatic configuration of the network device connected into the network based on the position of the downlink interface of the gateway device where the network device is located when the network device is connected into the network.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication networks, in particular to an automatic configuration method of network equipment and a management server. Background technique [0002] When a network device is connected to the network, it needs to configure the network device locally through command configuration, so that the network device can run normally in the network. However, the current data centers and wide-area branch networks have a huge amount of network layer devices. If the network devices are configured every time, not only the workload is huge, but also the network management is complicated. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of this, the present invention provides an automatic configuration method of network equipment, which can realize automatic configuration of the network equipment connected to the network based on the downlink interface position of the gateway equipment where the network equipment is connecte...
