Active device automatic deployment method, device and system

Abstract

An auto-deployment server may receive, from a TFTP server, a notification message carrying a temporary IP address and a name of a basic configuration file obtained by the device from a DHCP server. The auto-deployment server may obtain the basic configuration file corresponding to the name of the basic configuration file from basic configuration files stored in the auto-deployment serve, may obtain a MAC address of the device according to the basic configuration file and the temporary IP address, may obtain a baseline startup configuration file of the device according to the MAC address, may deploy the baseline startup configuration file to the device, and may trigger the device to execute the baseline startup configuration file.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method, device and system for automatic deployment of active equipment. Background technique [0002] A bare-metal device refers to a device without any configuration. From leaving the factory to running in an actual production network environment, a bare-metal device needs to undergo a series of processing: including racking, powering on, and configuring basic access through the Console (console) configuration interface. Parameters, including telnet (remote login) parameters, SNMP (SimpleNetwork Management Protocol, Simple Network Management Protocol) parameters, etc., upgrade to the specified version, deploy the baseline startup configuration file, so as to achieve the available and planned state of the production network. These steps need to be manually carried out from each device to the device site. There are a large number of access devices in the network and the...

Problems solved by technology

[0032] 1. The above process needs to bind the MAC address and IP address for each device on the DHCP server. Some DHCP servers on the network do not have the function of batch import, and the single input workload is heavy. If there are multiple DHCP servers in the network, each All DHCP servers need to do this configuration, and the DHCP server does not have the function of binding MAC addresses and IP addresses, so this technical solution cannot be realized

[0033] 2. Create a configuration file for each device. The file name must be the same as the host name corresponding to the device IP in network.cfg, and the information such as the IP address in the configuration file is different. It needs to be manually modified and cannot be processed automatically. In a large-scale network Time-consuming, laborious, error-prone
