Method and system for realizing automatic configuration and installation of network equipment

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a system for implementing automatic configuration and installation of network equipment. The method includes the steps: monitoring neighbor discovery messages sent by other directly connected network equipment and establishing and maintaining a neighborhood table; monitoring network equipment information messages, searching the neighborhood table according to a message source address and updating a software forwarding information base so that creation of an indirect management channel is completed; receiving equipment configuration messages, searching a software forwarding table by configuring a message destination as an index to forward the messages so that creation of a direct management channel is completed; and completing required configuration for the network equipment through the direct management channel. By the method and the system, high intelligentization of network configuration is achieved, and when a network is constructed and updated, complex installation and configuration can be avoided while maintenance cost of the network is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method and system for realizing automatic configuration and installation of network equipment. Background technique [0002] Existing network management structures such as figure 1 As shown, the network management system (NMS) exchanges configuration protocols with network devices through the network management channel to complete various configuration tasks for network devices. When building a network or changing the topology of the network, the following steps are generally required: [0003] Separately configure network nodes: configure the network identifier of the network device, configure the network interface, and start the corresponding network configuration protocol; [0004] Create a direct management channel: configure the entire network, create a management channel, and ensure that network devices can communicate correctly with the network management...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the steps of separately configuring network nodes and creating direct management channels are mainly completed through complex manual configuration, which will make the work of network construction too complicated, and the maintenance of network expansion or network changes is also quite difficult.
