[0021] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0022] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0023] The main solution of this application is to receive configuration instructions from the requesting end; call the management function through the representational state transfer interface, execute the configuration instructions on the network switch, and return the operation results to the requesting end; obtain the operating status data of the network switch through the representational state transfer interface and generate a historical report; and periodically verify the consistency of the configuration status of the network switch through the representational state transfer interface.

[0024] Currently, many network switches, especially in high-performance network environments, rely on traditional network management protocols such as SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and CLI (Command Line Interface). While these protocols provide basic network management and configuration capabilities, they have key shortcomings. Protocols like CLI and SNMP lack support for the unified management of large-scale network devices, resulting in low maintenance and management efficiency, especially in large-scale switch clusters. Therefore, improving the efficiency of network device management remains an unresolved issue.

[0025] This application uses the representational state transfer interface to call the management function to uniformly manage network switch declarations, thereby improving the efficiency of network device management. Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a network switch management method based on a representational state transfer interface, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the first embodiment of the network switch management method based on the representational state transfer interface of the present application.

[0026] In this embodiment, the network switch management method based on the representational state transfer interface includes steps S10 to S40: Step S10: receiving configuration instructions from the requesting end; It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of implementing the above functions, a network switch management device based on the representational state transfer interface, etc. The following describes this embodiment and the following embodiments using a network switch management device based on the representational state transfer interface as an example.

[0027] It is understood that configuration instructions include instructions for adding, deleting, checking, and modifying devices. Administrators send requests to add or delete devices, view device status, or modify device configuration.

[0028] Step S20: calling the management function through the representational state transfer interface, executing the configuration instruction on the network switch, and returning the operation result to the requesting end; The Representational State Transfer API (RESTful API) is a network service interface designed based on the REST architectural style. Through RESTful APIs, it provides a unified and concise data exchange method, facilitating integration with various operating systems and device management platforms. All API interfaces adhere to the RESTful style and utilize the HTTP protocol. The interface design follows a "resource + operation" model. Data is formatted in JSON or XML for easy parsing and processing. Response data includes device status information, configuration data, or operation results. During API design, appropriate HTTP status codes are used to represent different request statuses, such as 200 (success), 400 (request error), and 500 (server error). The Representational State Transfer API utilizes the HTTP-based RESTful API for data transmission. Administrators use GET requests to query device status, POST requests to add new devices, PUT requests to update device information, and DELETE requests to delete devices.

[0029] In a feasible manner, the steps of calling the management function through the representational state transfer interface, executing the configuration instructions on the network switch, and returning the operation results to the requesting end include: executing a device addition request through the representational state transfer interface and creating a new switch entity to obtain an addition operation result; executing a device deletion request through the representational state transfer interface and removing the specified switch entity to obtain a deletion operation result; executing a device query request through the representational state transfer interface and returning the current device parameter set to obtain a query operation result; executing a device modification request through the representational state transfer interface and updating the configuration parameters of the target switch to obtain a modification operation result; returning the addition operation result, the deletion operation result, the query operation result, and the modification operation result to the requesting end.

[0030] As you can see, the device management system, upon receiving the request, invokes the internal management functions of the Sonic switch system, performs the corresponding device operation, and returns the operation results to the administrator in JSON format. Device addition, deletion, modification, and query operations are all completed through a unified API interface, simplifying management operations.

[0031] In a feasible embodiment, after receiving the configuration instruction from the requesting end, it also includes: verifying the digital certificate and access token of the requesting end; parsing the operating authority scope of the access token; when the configuration instruction exceeds the operating authority scope, intercepting the configuration instruction and returning an error code through the representational state transfer interface.

[0032] It is understandable that the purpose of verifying the digital certificate and access token of the requesting end is to ensure the security of the API through encrypted communication and permission management to prevent external attacks and data leakage. All API requests use the HTTPS protocol for encrypted communication to ensure the security of the data transmission process and prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and data leakage. An authentication mechanism based on the I key is implemented in the API interface to ensure that only authenticated users can access the management interface. When accessing the API, the administrator needs to authenticate with the key. Permission control: By setting user roles and permission control (such as administrators, ordinary users, etc.), ensure that users of different roles can only access functions within their authorized scope.

[0033] In a feasible manner, after receiving the configuration instruction from the requesting end, it also includes: parsing the batch operation parameters in the configuration instruction; splitting the batch operation parameters into atomic configuration tasks; adding the atomic configuration tasks to the asynchronous execution queue; executing the configuration tasks in the asynchronous execution queue in sequence; and automatically rolling back to the previous valid configuration state when an abnormality in the execution of the configuration task is detected.

[0034] It is understandable that task queue management is implemented in the API interface, and requests are queued and executed in order to ensure the smooth progress of configuration tasks. At the same time, the rollback operation of configuration tasks is supported to restore the original configuration in case of problems.

[0035] Step S30: obtaining the operating status data of the network switch through the representational state transfer interface and generating a history report; It is understandable that the real-time operating status of network switches, including device traffic, port status, CPU and memory usage, can be obtained through the RESTful API, helping administrators understand device performance in real time and perform troubleshooting as needed. The specific steps are to regularly request device performance data through the API. GET requests are used to obtain device status data, including the status of switch ports, network traffic, CPU and memory usage, etc. The data is generated by the monitoring module within the switch system and returned to the administrator through the API. The data format is usually JSON or XML, which facilitates further processing and display on the management platform. A scheduled task is implemented within the system to periodically request device status data and store this data in the database for generating historical reports or analysis.

[0036] In a feasible embodiment, the step of obtaining the operating status data of the network switch through the representational state transfer interface and generating a historical report includes: obtaining a collection frequency and a collection index; obtaining the operating status data of the network switch according to the collection frequency and index through the representational state transfer interface; sorting the operating status data by time to obtain a sorting result; and generating a historical report based on the sorting result.

[0037] As you can understand, the collection frequency determines the interval between data collection, while the collection metric determines the content of the device data collected. Users can define the collection frequency and metrics based on their needs. Collected operating status data can be displayed in chronological order. For numerical data such as CPU usage and memory usage, historical reports can reflect changing trends and more clearly display switch status.

[0038] Step S40: Periodically verifying the consistency of the configuration state of the network switch through the representational state transfer interface.

[0039] It is understandable that the configuration items of the network switch can be periodically obtained through the RESTful API, and the consistency of the configuration status of the network switch can be verified based on the comparison of the configuration items before and after.

[0040] It's understandable that by defining clear interface standards, new devices or new functions can be implemented by expanding existing APIs. For example, if support for new switch hardware or new management functions is needed in the future, simply expand the interface and integrate the functions within the existing system without modifying the existing interface design. Compatibility with multiple operating systems and device management platforms is supported, and standardized APIs enable seamless integration with other devices and management platforms, forming a unified device management and operations platform.

[0041] This embodiment provides a network switch management method based on a representational state transfer interface. The present application receives configuration instructions from a requesting end; calls a management function through the representational state transfer interface, executes the configuration instructions on the network switch, and returns the operation results to the requesting end; obtains the operating status data of the network switch through the representational state transfer interface and generates a historical report; and periodically verifies the consistency of the configuration status of the network switch through the representational state transfer interface.

[0042] In summary, this embodiment uniformly manages network switch declarations by calling management functions through the representational state transfer interface, thereby improving the efficiency of network device management.

[0043] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction and will not be described in detail later. Figure 2 , step S40 further includes steps S401 to S404: Step S401: Acquire a set of baseline configuration parameters of the network switch; It is understandable that the baseline configuration parameter set refers to a standard configuration preset by an administrator.

[0044] Step S402: collecting a real-time configuration parameter set of the network switch in real time through the representational state transfer interface; It is understandable that the real-time configuration parameter set is the real-time configuration data of the network switch, and the real-time configuration parameter set can be obtained regularly through the representational state transfer interface.

[0045] Step S403: comparing the deviation value between the reference configuration parameter set and the real-time configuration parameter set; By comparing the baseline configuration parameter set with the real-time configuration parameter set, a deviation value can be obtained, and the deviation value can reflect the gap between the state of the network switch and the ideal state.

[0046] Step S404: Verify the consistency of the configuration state of the network switch according to the deviation value.

[0047] As you can understand, the deviation value can be used to determine the configuration status of the network switch and determine its consistency with the preset state. The API interface enables automated device configuration and operation and maintenance. Administrators can write scripts to batch configure parameters for multiple devices through the API, reducing manual operations. Device configuration parameters can be sent to the server in the form of a script via a POST request, automating configuration tasks. For example, an administrator can write a script to batch update the configuration, IP addresses, or security settings of network devices.

[0048] In a feasible embodiment, after verifying the consistency of the configuration status of the network switch according to the deviation value, it also includes: when the consistency meets the requirements, generating a verification report; when the consistency does not meet the requirements, modifying the configuration parameters of the network switch according to the benchmark configuration parameter set, and generating alarm information according to the deviation value.

[0049] It is understandable that when the gap between the network switch and the baseline configuration parameters is too large, the RESTful API can be used to perform configuration update operations on the network switch to maintain the consistency of the network switch configuration.

[0050] This embodiment obtains a baseline configuration parameter set of the network switch; collects a real-time configuration parameter set of the network switch in real time through the representational state transfer interface; compares a deviation value between the baseline configuration parameter set and the real-time configuration parameter set; and verifies the consistency of the configuration state of the network switch based on the deviation value.

[0051] This embodiment verifies the consistency of the configuration state of the network switch through the representational state transfer interface, which can keep the network switch in an ideal state and improve the efficiency of network device management.
