Middle domain name-based system and method for achieving automatic discovery of network equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to a middle domain name-based system and method for achieving automatic discovery of network equipment. The system comprises more than one piece of network equipment, more than one piece of network management equipment, a DNS and a middle domain name server, wherein the DNS is used for analyzing a middle domain name and converting the analyzed middle domain name into an IP address; the middle domain name server is used for dynamically distributing the address of network management equipment for the network equipment; the network equipment also comprises an agent for finishing information interaction of the network equipment and the middle domain name server and information interaction of the network equipment and the network management equipment, and the network equipment is communicated with the middle domain name server by a communication port. The system and the method have the beneficial effects that the network equipment can automatically discover the network management equipment, the network management equipment can add and manage the network equipment automatically, the manual adding operation of the network equipment is reduced and the working efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a system and method for realizing automatic discovery of network equipment based on an intermediate domain name. Background technique [0002] Ethernet (Ethernet) is a computer local area network networking technology. In the Ethernet, network devices can be managed through network management devices, and each network device corresponds to a network management device or a network management device cluster. The way that the network management device usually uses to discover network devices is: run the network management device, set up to scan the IP segment, discover the network device, add the network device to management, and repeat the above steps when the network device needs to be changed; The device-to-network device management method is a passive management method. The biggest defect of this method is that the network management equipment maintenance personnel need to pay attentio...

The way that the network management device usually uses to discover network devices is: run the network management device, set up to scan the IP segment, discover the network device, add the network device to management, and repeat the above steps when the network device needs to be changed; The device-to-network device management method is a passive management method. The biggest defect of this method is that the network management equipment maintenance personnel need to pay attention to whether there are new devices joining the network at all times. When changing the address of the network management device, each device needs to be added to the management manually. , its process is as follows figure 1 shown
