Configuration management method and configuration management device of network equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to network management technology, and discloses a configuration management method and a configuration management device of network equipment. The method comprises the steps that configuration items needed for realizing service functions are screened out from each management information base (MIB) table in advance by the configuration management device according to the characteristics of various services supported by the network equipment; corresponding service templates are respectively defined by aiming at the various services; and when the network equipment is configured, the established service templates are issued according to the service type supported by each network equipment, so that each network equipment can configure related services according to the obtained service template. Therefore, when the services are fulfilled, the execution tediousness degree of the service configuration flow is greatly reduced, the execution time of the service configuration flow is shortened, the service fulfillment efficiency is improved, and furthermore, configuration errors caused by a great quantity of repeated operation can be effectively avoided, thereby guaranteeing the running performance of the network equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to network management technology, in particular to a configuration management method and device for network equipment. Background technique [0002] Usually, network devices are managed through a network element management system. refer to figure 1 As shown, there is an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol, Simple Network Management Protocol) Agent on the network device, and the SNMP Agent includes MIB (Management Information Base, Management Information Base); there is an SNMP management station on the network element management system, and the network element management system and Network devices communicate through the SNMP protocol, using the get (acquire) and set (send) operations defined by the SNMP protocol. [0003] The provisioning of network device services often requires the configuration of multiple configuration items, and these configuration items are often scattered in different MIB tables. For example, see ...

Problems solved by technology

Obviously, this configuration method is too cumbersome and complicated, and the execution efficiency is not high, and with the increase of business complexity (for example, the number of MIB nodes contained in a single business increases, the number of services supported by network equipment increases, etc.), now The disadvantages of some configuration methods are more obvious, especially when there are a large number of network devices to be configured, the tedious and complicated multiple configuration process will not only waste a lot of time, but also increase the configuration error rate, thus affecting the operating performance of network devices
