Method and system for network element data management

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention discloses a method for network element data management, which includes the following steps: a management information base (MIB) tree directory is established in advance according to management requirements, and the MIB tree directory comprises at least one MIB node; the MIB tree directory is converted to a corresponding extensive makeup language (XML) file, and the XML file comprises a defined object identifier (OID) of each MIB node; network element data corresponding to each MIB node are obtained respectively from each network element within the range of management and saved in a data base through a cache. The embodiment of the invention further discloses a system for network element data management. By means of the system, once an MIB node is changed, the changes of the MIB node can be updated to the XML file only by generating the XML file again so that unnecessary object expenses can be avoided. In addition, due to the fact that most network element data maintain unchanged, network element data can be directly queried on the network management side through a data base cache mechanism, querying speed is greatly quickened, and network management performance is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network data management, in particular to a network element data management method and system. Background technique [0002] According to the recommendation of IAB (Internet Architecture Board, Internet Architecture Board), all network (IP / TCP) devices must be manageable, and the premise of being manageable is to implement the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol, Simple Network Management Protocol) protocol. In order to support SNMP, we first need to define MIB (Management Information Base, Management Information Base) according to management requirements, and then load the defined MIB information into NMS (Network Management System, Network Management System), where MIB defines the managed objects A series of properties, such as the name of the object, the access rights of the object, the data type of the object, and so on. In this way, the NMS can use the SNMP protocol to manage and monitor network devices....

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The data on the NE side is managed through the MIB on the Agent side. Due to the tree hierarchy structure of the MIB, the traditional network element data management method is to encapsulate each directory node in the MIB tree into an object, and each leaf node under the directory node As an attribute of an object, once the MIB structure is complex, many objects will be generated, which is extremely difficult to maintain and change later.

Moreover, it is inefficient to store all network element side data in a database table for the management of millions of network elements, so this solution is only suitable for small and medium-sized network element management

[0004] In addition, the traditional management method must obtain data from the network element side through the SNMP protocol every time data query is performed, which is very inefficient
