Network management device and method

Abstract

The invention provides a network management device and method. The network management device comprises a simple network management protocol (SNMP) management end module, a network information managing module, a network topology managing module and a network configuration managing module, wherein the SNMP management end module is connected with an SNMP agent end module of a managed device and used for building an SNMP channel with the managed device, the network information managing module is connected with the SNMP management end module and used for obtaining a link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) neighbor table item of the managed device through the SNMP channel, the network topology managing module is connected with the network information managing module and used for obtaining topology information of a current network according to the LLDP neighbor table item of the managed device, and the network configuration managing module is respectively connected with the SNMP management end module and the network topology managing module and used for calculating and obtaining configuration information, corresponding to the managed device, in the current network according to the topology information of the current network and an obtained user command. The configuration information, corresponding to the managed device, in the current network is sent down to the corresponding managed device through the SNMP channel so that the managed device can execute configuration processing according to the corresponding configuration information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to Ethernet technology, in particular to a network management device and method. Background technique [0002] At present, network management methods are generally divided into three categories, namely: black box management method, professional network management software management method, and network management function management method integrated in equipment. Specifically, the black box management method means that the management of the entire network environment is opaque and uncontrollable, that is, without using any management software or management tools, but requires network administrators to deploy roles in the entire network environment for each network device and maintenance. Professional network management software management refers to the management of the entire network through professional network management software. The network management function management method integrated in the device refers to em...
