Method and device for automatically configuring and managing equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for automatically configuring and managing equipment. The method comprises the following steps that the TELNET service of the equipment is configured; and a configuration file used by a NC (netcat) tool is configured, and the equipment can be automatically configured and managed according to the configuration file used by the NC tool. The invention also discloses a device for automatically configuring and managing the equipment. Through the method and the device disclosed by the invention, the configuration work of network managers is greatly reduced, and the work efficiency is improved. In addition, the technical scheme has the advantages that on the basis of the original TELNET service, the ordinary interactive TELNET connection and the automatic TELNET connection of the NC tool are simultaneously supported, and the access flexibility is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer network communication, in particular to a method and device for automatically configuring and managing equipment. Background technique [0002] Netcat (Netcat or NC) is a toolkit for debugging and checking the network under Linux. It can be used to create TCP / IP connections, and the biggest use is to handle TCP / UDP sockets. It is designed as a reliable back-end tool that can be directly or easily driven by other programs or scripts, and it is also a feature-rich network debugging and development tool. [0003] This tool can be used to realize the configuration management of the switch. By introducing the pre-configured text file through the NC tool, the switch can be automatically configured. It is a very useful automatic management tool. [0004] The remote login (TELNET) protocol is a member of the TCP / IP protocol family, and it is the standard protocol and main method of Internet remote logi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] When using NC tools to manage the switch, it is generally connected to the remote login protocol (TELNET) server in the switch through TELNET, but the TELNET command does not support input and output redirection, so it is difficult to call the TELNET command to automatically log in to the network device. Automatic configuration (execute predefined commands), the TELNET server in the switch generally only supports interactive input, and the user name and password must wait until the prompt information of the switch returns before inputting

However, if all the data is input to the switch at one time through the NC tool TELNET, the switch will not be able to process it, resulting in failure to configure the switch through the NC tool.
