Testing device and method for managing cross-platform network alarms and events

Abstract

The invention provides a testing device and method for managing cross-platform network alarms and events and relates to the technical field of device alarm testing. The testing device comprises a hardware platform, an SNMP agent module, a management module, an alarm storage module, a control module and an operating system, wherein the SNMP agent module, the management module, the alarm storage module, the control module and the operating system are installed on the hardware platform. The control module is responsible for carrying out systemized management, coordinating all the modules, carrying out system analysis on management activities, and optimizing all alarm interfaces. The operating system is responsible for receiving testing requirements input by users. The management module is responsible for converting the testing requirements input by the users into order codes. The alarm storage module is responsible for collecting and gathering the alarms of various devices, and enabling the alarm codes to form an alarm bank for being stored in a programming mode. The SNMP agent module is responsible for reporting the alarms or the events to a network management system. According to the device and the method, the alarms and events of the different device types can be simulated and generated, and alarm and event testing can be carried out efficiently.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of equipment alarm testing, in particular to a testing device and method for cross-platform network alarm and event management. Background technique [0002] OTN (Optical Transport Network, Optical Transport Network) is based on wavelength division multiplexing technology and organizes the network at the optical layer. It is the backbone transport network of the next generation. OTN is a new generation of "digital transmission system" regulated by a series of ITU-T (ITU-T for ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector, International Telecommunication Union Telecommunications Standardization Organization) recommendations such as G.872, G.709, and G.798 And "optical transmission system", will solve the problems of traditional WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing, wavelength division multiplexing) network without wavelength / sub-wavelength business scheduling ability, weak networking ability, weak protection ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

According to the above classification, the types of alarms on a single device can reach hundreds or even thousands, and there will be more alarms in a network system composed of multiple devices, so it can be seen that the range of "alarms" is wide and numerous. Therefore, the test method of manufacturing real faults cannot meet the requirements of network management alarm testing.

[0008] 2. The generation of alarms is limited by real devices, and real faults need to be created in different network environments

With the large-scale application of unified network management, a network management system will manage devices in different network environments at the same time, so testing the network management alarm function will require building a variety of complex device environments, with a huge workload

[0009] 3. Impact on normal business

For example, when testing the "hot start" alarm of the access device under the unified network management, the device will be powered off and restarted, and the running data service, voice service, IPTV service, etc. will be interrupted, resulting in communication interruption and poor user experience, etc. Negative Effects

[0010] 4. The alarm test time is limited by human factors, the test work time is short, and it is impossible to achieve all-weather (24*7 hours) test time

[0011] 5. The alarm capacity generated by the way of creating alarms in the laboratory environment cannot match the actual engineering alarm quantity level
