DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the implementation of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0020] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail with specific embodiments below. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0021] Currently, common network device configuration technologies mainly rely on CLI or SNMP-based management methods. The disadvantages of these technologies are: Lack of standardized interfaces: CLI interfaces vary from vendor to vendor, making it difficult to reuse configuration scripts across devices. Difficulty recovering from configuration errors: When a configuration error occurs, restoring the device to its original state often requires manual operations by maintenance personnel, increasing the risk of human error and recovery time. Configuration comparison and analysis are complex: Existing technologies lack an efficient configuration comparison mechanism, making it difficult to accurately detect configuration differences, making it difficult to discover and repair configuration inconsistencies.

[0022] Based on the above problems, an OTN, IPRAN or PTN communication equipment configuration method is provided in an embodiment of the present application, that is, the method can be applied to OTN communication equipment, IPRAN communication equipment or PTN communication equipment, and the configuration information configured based on the YANG model is converted into a configuration file in XML format, and sent to the communication equipment through the configuration protocol, and the first response message returned by the communication equipment when executing the configuration file to obtain the execution result is matched with the set first expected message to determine whether the configuration is successfully sent. If so, the configuration is sent and the relevant information of the configuration is stored; otherwise, a report on the configuration information configuration error is output, and the communication equipment is notified to roll back. This solution can realize automatic configuration, automatically analyze whether the configuration is successful, and can automatically roll back if the configuration is unsuccessful.

[0023] The communication device in the embodiment of the present application may be an OTN device, an IPRAN device or a PTN device, and the implementation methods thereof are the same.

[0024] The following is a detailed description of the configuration process of OTN, IPRAN or PTN communication equipment implemented in the embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Before implementing the configuration of OTN, IPRAN or PTN communication equipment in the embodiment of the present application, it is necessary to pre-configure different configuration information for different networking modes, and configure the first expected message and the second expected message. The first expected message is used to determine whether the configuration of the configuration information is successful; the second expected message is used to determine whether the acquired configuration information meets expectations. When the first expected message and the second expected message are specifically implemented, they can also be implemented by saving relevant fields in XML format. In the embodiment of the present application, the method of pre-setting the content for example is not limited.

[0026] Configuration information is configured based on the YANG model. YANG is a data model language that can efficiently describe device configuration information when combined with the Network Configuration (NETCONF) protocol. Through the YANG model, the system can flexibly define the configuration structure of communication devices, provide precise configuration management and automation support, and avoid the limitations of traditional CLI interfaces.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, the device for configuring the configuration information of the communication device can be deployed on a server, or can be any device that can communicate with the communication device, such as a PC.

[0028] The network configuration protocol is a standard network device configuration information used to interact with communication devices through a secure communication channel. In the embodiment of the present application, after establishing a connection with the communication device through the network configuration protocol, device information is obtained based on the network configuration protocol, configuration information is automatically issued, performance anomalies are monitored, and alarm monitoring is performed.

[0029] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of obtaining device information of a communication device in an embodiment of the present application. The specific steps are: Step 101: Establish a connection with a communication device through a network configuration protocol.

[0030] During the connection establishment process, if the connection is not established successfully, a connection establishment request is initiated to the communication device again until the connection is established successfully, or the establishment request is terminated when the number of establishment times reaches a preset number.

[0031] In subsequent communications with the communication device, interactions are performed through the established connection, and messages are transmitted through the network configuration protocol.

[0032] Step 102: Send a device information acquisition request to the communication device.

[0033] The communication device receives the device information acquisition request and responds with the corresponding device information of the request through a second response message.

[0034] In specific implementation, the device information includes multiple contents, which can be requested through one request message or through multiple messages.

[0035] Step 103: In response to the communication device sending a second response message, the second response message is matched with a configured second expected message.

[0036] The second expected message is pre-configured and used to determine whether the second message of the response meets the expectations; the second expected message includes a second specified field, and the second specified field includes any one or any combination of the following: network element name, UUID of the network element, operating status of the network element, product name, software version, hardware version, network protocols supported by the network element, the number of boards supported by the device, gateway information, and alarm information.

[0037] In this step, matching the second response message with the configured second expected message includes: Respectively obtain field values ​​corresponding to the second specified field in the second response message and the second expected message; If the second designated field includes: product name, software version, hardware version; then obtain the field values ​​of the three fields of product name, software version and hardware version in the second response message, such as T1, M1 and N1 respectively; obtain the field values ​​of the three fields of product name, software version and hardware version in the second expected message, such as T2, M2 and N2 respectively; Match the obtained field values ​​corresponding to the same second specified field one by one respectively; Match T1 and T2; match M1 and M2, and match N1 and N2; If all second designated fields match, it is determined that the match is successful; otherwise, it is determined that the match is unsuccessful.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, there is no restriction on the configuration of the matching rule. For example, the matching rules may be completely identical, or the matching rules may be determined to be matched if the similarity reaches a preset similarity value.

[0039] Step 104: If the matching fails, a report indicating a device information acquisition error is output, and this process ends.

[0040] Output device information acquisition error reports so that managers can promptly learn the specific causes of errors and solve the problems.

[0041] Step 105: If the match is successful, the second association information is stored; wherein the second association information includes: a communication device identification and device information, and the second association information is used to query the device information of the communication device.

[0042] Storing the device information of the communication device locally can be used to directly obtain the required device information locally and subsequently compare whether the device information has changed.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the device information of the communication device can be automatically obtained, and when a failure to obtain the device information occurs, the cause of the failure can be promptly understood and then modified in a timely manner to avoid affecting subsequent communications of the communication device.

[0044] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a configuration process of an OTN, IPRAN or PTN communication device in an embodiment of the present application. The specific steps are: Step 201, select a networking mode for a communication device, and determine configuration information corresponding to the selected networking mode.

[0045] Different configuration information corresponding to different networking modes is pre-configured. After a networking mode is selected for a communication device, the configuration information of the communication device can be determined according to the networking mode.

[0046] Step 202: Generate a configuration file in XML format using the determined configuration information, and send it to the communication device through a network configuration protocol so that the communication device executes the configuration file.

[0047] When the communication device receives the configuration file, it automatically performs configuration based on the configuration file and returns the configuration result through the first response message.

[0048] Step 203: In response to a first response message returned by the communication device when executing the configuration file to obtain an execution result, the first response message is matched with a configured first expected message.

[0049] The first expected message is pre-configured and used to determine whether the first response message meets expectations; the first expected message includes a first specified field, and the first specified field includes any one or any combination of the following: service bandwidth information, VLAN information, port information, and network protocol.

[0050] In this step, the first response message is matched with the configured first expected message, including: Respectively obtain field values ​​corresponding to the first specified field in the first response message and the first expected message; If the first designated field includes: port information and network protocol, then obtain the field values ​​of the port information and network protocol fields in the first response message, such as A1 and B1 respectively; obtain the field values ​​of the port information and network protocol fields in the first expected message, such as A2 and B2 respectively; Match the obtained field values ​​corresponding to the same first specified field one by one respectively; Match A1 and A2; Match B1 and B2; If all first designated fields match, it is determined that the match is successful; otherwise, it is determined that the match is unsuccessful.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, there is no restriction on the configuration of the matching rule. For example, the matching rules may be completely identical, or the matching rules may be determined to be matched if the similarity reaches a preset similarity value.

[0052] Step 204: If the match fails, a report of configuration information error is output, and a rollback instruction is sent to the communication device, so that the communication device rolls back the configuration information. This process ends.

[0053] Output configuration information configuration error reports so that managers can promptly learn the specific causes of errors and solve the problems.

[0054] Step 205: If the match is successful, the first association information is stored; wherein the first association information includes: communication device identification, networking mode and configuration information; the first association information is used to query the configuration information and networking mode of the corresponding communication device.

[0055] In this embodiment, the configuration information configured based on the YANG model is converted into a configuration file in XML format, and sent to the communication device through the configuration protocol, and the first response message returned by the communication device when executing the configuration file to obtain the execution result is matched with the set first expected message to determine whether the configuration is successfully sent. If so, the configuration is sent and the relevant information of the configuration is stored; otherwise, a report on the configuration information configuration error is output, and the communication device is notified to roll back. This solution can realize automatic configuration, automatically analyze whether the configuration is successful, and automatically roll back if the configuration is unsuccessful.

[0056] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is another OTN, IPRAN or PTN communication equipment configuration flow diagram in the embodiment of the present application. The specific steps are: Step 301: Select a networking mode for a communication device and determine configuration information corresponding to the selected networking mode.

[0057] Different configuration information corresponding to different networking modes is pre-configured. After a networking mode is selected for a communication device, the configuration information of the communication device can be determined according to the networking mode.

[0058] Step 302: Generate a configuration file in XML format using the determined configuration information, and send it to the communication device through a network configuration protocol so that the communication device executes the configuration file.

[0059] When the communication device receives the configuration file, it automatically performs configuration based on the configuration file and returns the configuration result through the first response message.

[0060] Step 303: In response to a first response message returned by the communication device when executing the configuration file to obtain an execution result, the first response message is matched with a configured first expected message.

[0061] The first expected message is pre-configured and used to determine whether the first response message meets expectations; the first expected message includes a first specified field, and the first specified field includes any one or any combination of the following: service bandwidth information, VLAN information, port information, and network protocol.

[0062] In this step, the first response message is matched with the configured first expected message, including: Respectively obtain field values ​​corresponding to the first specified field in the first response message and the first expected message; Match the obtained field values ​​corresponding to the same first specified field one by one respectively; If all first designated fields match, it is determined that the match is successful; otherwise, it is determined that the match is unsuccessful.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, there is no restriction on the configuration of the matching rule. For example, the matching rules may be completely identical, or the matching rules may be determined to be matched if the similarity reaches a preset similarity value.

[0064] Step 304 , if the match fails, determine whether the device state is a dangerous state; if so, execute step 305 ; otherwise, execute step 308 .

[0065] In specific implementation, it is possible to pre-configure which states are dangerous states, such as an alarm not being restored, a performance indicator exceeding a threshold, etc., which are determined as dangerous states; but it is not limited to this.

[0066] The alarm status is usually also carried in the first response message and can be directly obtained. If there is no way to carry it, the device status of the communication device is obtained from the communication device again.

[0067] Step 305: Output emergency status notification.

[0068] The emergency status notification here enables the administrator to promptly understand the dangerous status of the communication equipment and provide a timely solution.

[0069] Step 306: If the dangerous state is not eliminated within the preset time, a rollback instruction is sent to the communication device so that the communication device rolls back the configuration information. This process ends.

[0070] Step 307: If the dangerous state has been eliminated within the preset time, the first associated information is stored and the process ends.

[0071] This dangerous state-based processing is to prevent the dangerous state of the device due to hardware abnormalities such as fiber disconnection and optical module damage after the configuration information is issued. This kind of dangerous state can be solved by manually replacing the hardware. If the dangerous state is eliminated, there is no need to roll back.

[0072] Step 308: Output a report of configuration information configuration error, and send a rollback instruction to the communication device, so that the communication device rolls back the configuration information. This process ends.

[0073] Step 309: If the match is successful, the first association information is stored.

[0074] The first associated information includes: communication device identification, networking mode and configuration information; the first associated information is used to query the configuration information and networking mode of the corresponding communication device.

[0075] In this embodiment, the configuration information configured based on the YANG model is converted into a configuration file in XML format, and sent to the communication device through the configuration protocol, and the first response message returned by the communication device when executing the configuration file to obtain the execution result is matched with the set first expected message to determine whether the configuration is successfully sent. If so, the configuration is sent and the relevant information of the configuration is stored; otherwise, the device status of the communication device is first determined, and different processing methods are performed; if the dangerous state is eliminated, the configuration information is not rolled back; if it is not eliminated, or the configuration failure is not caused by the dangerous state itself, a report on the configuration error of the configuration information is output, and the communication device is notified to roll back. This solution can realize automatic configuration, automatically analyze whether the configuration is successful, and can automatically roll back if the configuration is unsuccessful.

[0076] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the performance abnormality monitoring process in the embodiment of this application. The specific steps are: Step 401: Send a performance reporting notification to a communication device; the performance reporting notification carries performance indicators that need to be reported.

[0077] The performance indicators include one or any combination of the following: network bandwidth, device port status, number of error packets, error seconds, and bit error rate.

[0078] The number of error packets can be the number of CRC error packets at the Ethernet layer, the errored seconds can be the errored seconds of the regeneration section of the SDH layer, the errored seconds of the multiplexing section, the errored seconds of the ODUK_PM layer, the errored seconds of the ODUK_SM layer, and the bit error rate can be the front and back error correction FEC bit error rate.

[0079] The above performance indicators are just examples and are not limited to them in specific implementation.

[0080] Step 402: In response to the performance abnormality notification reported by the communication device, obtain the performance indicator and the performance indicator value in the performance abnormality notification; and store them.

[0081] Step 403: Analyze the stored performance indicators and corresponding performance indicator values, obtain the causes of performance anomalies, and output a performance anomaly report.

[0082] The timely reporting of abnormal performance indicators in the embodiment of the present application can obtain the abnormal cause through the analysis of the performance indicators, so as to notify the management personnel, timely discover the abnormality of the communication equipment, and thus solve the problem. See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the alarm monitoring process in the embodiment of this application. The specific steps are: Step 501: Send an alarm reporting notification to a communication device.

[0083] Step 502: In response to the alarm notification reported by the communication device, the alarm content and alarm time carried in the alarm notification are obtained and stored.

[0084] Step 503: Analyze the stored alarm content and alarm time, obtain the frequency, duration and severity of the alarm, and output an alarm analysis report.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, by monitoring the alarms, the frequency, duration and severity of the alarms can be analyzed in a timely manner, and an alarm analysis report can be output to the management personnel, so that the management personnel can understand the alarm status of the communication equipment in a timely manner and facilitate problem solving.
