Method and system for automatically managing IP (Internet Protocol) of DCN (Data Communication Network)

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a system for automatically managing an IP of a DCN. The method is performed by an IP management system, comprising: receiving a host information packet from an agent installed on a host, the host information packet containing first host information associated with the host; acquiring a DCN IP (Internet Protocol) used by the host; retrieving second host information corresponding to the DCN IP from an IP resource management system based on the DCN IP; comparing the first host information with the second host information; based on a comparison of the first host information and the second host information, the IP resource management system is updated to contain the first host information and correspond to the DCN IP.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of communications, and more particularly to methods and systems for automatically managing IP of a data communications network (DCN). Background technique [0002] A network manager (for example, an operator or a service provider) assigns corresponding IPs to hosts accessing the data communication network (DCN), and manages these IPs. Typically, network managers use IP resource management systems to record the allocation of IP resources and the information associated with each IP allocated. However, existing IP resource management systems have defects in IP management. [0003] For some group businesses accepted by CRM, the system may allocate multiple IPs in the form of IP blocks. In this case, the IP resource management system cannot timely and accurately record the specific use of each IP in the IP segment. The information of the IP resource management system about each IP in the IP section ma...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the IP resource management system cannot obtain IP usage data, resulting in the inability to manage these IPs normally

[0004] In addition, the existing IP resource management system may only record the corresponding information when the IP is assigned to the host

In daily operation, business changes, system expansion or shrinkage may lead to changes in the information associated with IP, which will cause the information recorded in the IP resource management system to be not timely and accurate enough

[0005] Moreover, the existing IP resource management system cannot dynamically identify and process risky IPs, which is not conducive to improving network security
