Equipment management method and equipment management device

Abstract

The invention provides an equipment management method and an equipment management device. The equipment management method comprises the following steps of: monitoring the operation condition of a first service terminal connected with a first firewall by means of the first firewall; and when determining that the state of the first service terminal is online for the first time, allocating a first public network address to the first service terminal, recording a corresponding relationship between the first public network address and a first private network address of the first service terminal, and transmitting the corresponding relationship to the first firewall through using a first message. By means of the equipment management method, linkage between asset management device and the firewall can be achieved, the asset management device automatically allocates the public network address to the service terminal and informs the firewall, the firewall can automatically configure the processing strategy for the service terminal, an administrator does not need to conduct manual configuration any more, and the configuration work of the administrator is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a device management method and device management device. Background technique [0002] At present, most networks, such as enterprises, campuses, and data centers, need to deploy firewalls at the egress border to ensure asset security. At the same time, it will be equipped with an asset management system for data collection and equipment management of assets. [0003] In the existing asset security management system, in the overall solution of the enterprise network or data center, it is not enough to organize and analyze the assets themselves, and it is also necessary to perform access control, NAT conversion, attack protection, etc. on the assets. Usually this is done through a firewall. For example, a data center has a server with a private network address of 10.1.1.1 that uses the public network address 1.1.1.1 to provide FTP services to the outside wo...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Currently, when an asset goes online, the network administrator needs to manually configure the policy on the firewall. When the status of the asset changes or goes offline, the policy also needs to be manually modified or deleted on the firewall, which increases the workload of the network administrator. When configuring policies, it is extremely easy to make mistakes

And the asset management system cannot perceive and link

In this way, some assets may have been changed or offline, but the old policy on the firewall has been kept, which will not only cause the firewall to process wrong packets due to the old policy, but also occupy the resources of the firewall
