Embodiment Construction

[0019] It will be understood that for conciseness and clarity of the example, the units shown in each figure are not necessarily drawn to scale. For example, the dimensions of some of the elements may be exaggerated relative to other elements for clarity. In addition, when deemed appropriate, reference numerals may be repeated in each figure to indicate corresponding or similar features.

[0020] In the following detailed description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can still be implemented without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the present invention.

Abstract

Method and system are provided for network device configuration management. The method includes: receiving a set of user commands for configuration of a network device; retrieving a syntactic model of a network device configuration interface for a network device type and generating a modelled configuration of a current configuration of the network device; predicting the effect of the user command on the modelled configuration to generate a predicted modelled configuration; and applying rules for a user and / or network device type to determine if the command is permitted based on the predicted modelled configuration of the network device. Predicting the effect of the user command predicts in near real-time the effect on the network device configuration of a command that the user enters.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network equipment configuration management. Specifically, the present invention relates to the management of command updates for network device configuration. Background technique [0002] Research indicates that more than 60% of network interruptions are caused by mistakes made by users when changing the configuration of network elements. This is exacerbated by the syntactically complex command line interface used by many network elements. Existing ways to reduce user errors include: providing help text within the interface itself; automatically completing commands when the user types on the interface; and restricting the set of commands that users can issue based on their security permissions. However, these methods are not thorough and errors are still common, so additional mechanisms that can further reduce the number of errors are needed. [0003] An example network configuration manager is IBM Tivoli Netcool Conf...
