[0002] 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 functions, they have key shortcomings. Protocols like CLI and SNMP lack support for unified management of large-scale network devices, resulting in low maintenance and management efficiency, particularly in large-scale switch cluster environments. Therefore, improving the efficiency of network device management remains a problem that needs to be addressed.

[0003] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this application and does not represent an admission that the above content is prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this application is to provide a network switch management method, apparatus, device, and storage medium based on a descriptive state transition interface, aiming to solve the technical problem of how to improve the efficiency of network device management.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes a network switch management method based on a representational state transition interface. The method includes: receiving a configuration instruction from a requesting end; invoking a management function through the representational state transition interface to execute the configuration instruction on the network switch and returning the operation result to the requesting end; obtaining the operating status data of the network switch through the representational state transition interface and generating a historical report; and periodically verifying the consistency of the configuration status of the network switch through the representational state transition interface.

[0006] In one embodiment, the step of invoking the management function through the descriptive state transition interface to execute the configuration command on the network switch and returning the operation result to the requesting end includes:

[0007] The device add request is executed through the descriptive state transition interface, and a new switch entity is created, resulting in the add operation.

[0008] The device deletion request is executed through the descriptive state transition interface, and the specified switch entity is removed to obtain the deletion operation result.

[0010] The device modification request is executed through the descriptive state transition interface, and the configuration parameters of the target switch are updated to obtain the result of the modification operation.

[0011] The results of the add operation, the delete operation, the query operation, and the modify operation are returned to the requesting client.

[0012] In one embodiment, the step of obtaining the network switch's operational status data through the expressive state transition interface and generating a historical report includes:

[0014] The network switch's operating status data is obtained through the descriptive state transition interface according to the acquisition frequency and the acquisition indicators;

[0015] The running status data is sorted by time to obtain the sorting result;

[0016] A historical report is generated based on the sorting results.

[0017] In one embodiment, the step of periodically verifying the consistency of the configuration state of the network switch through the expressive state transition interface includes:

[0018] Obtain the set of baseline configuration parameters for the network switch;

[0019] The network switch's real-time configuration parameter set is collected in real time through the expressive state transition interface;

[0020] Compare the deviation values ​​between the baseline configuration parameter set and the real-time configuration parameter set;

[0021] The consistency of the network switch's configuration status is verified based on the deviation value.

[0022] In one embodiment, after verifying the consistency of the network switch's configuration state based on the deviation value, the method further includes:

[0024] When the consistency requirement is not met, the configuration parameters of the network switch are modified according to the baseline configuration parameter set, and an alarm message is generated based on the deviation value.

[0025] In one embodiment, after receiving the configuration instruction from the requesting end, the method further includes:

[0026] Verify the digital certificate and access token of the requesting party;

[0027] The access token's operation permission scope is parsed;

[0028] When the configuration instruction exceeds the scope of the operation permission, the configuration instruction is intercepted and an error code is returned through the expressive state transition interface.

[0029] In one embodiment, after receiving the configuration instruction from the requesting end, the method further includes:

[0030] Parse the batch operation parameters in the configuration instructions;

[0031] The batch operation parameters are split into atomic configuration tasks;

[0033] Execute the configured tasks in the asynchronous execution queue in sequence;

[0034] When an abnormality is detected in the execution of the configuration task, it will automatically roll back to the previous valid configuration state.

[0052] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0053] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0054] The main solution of this application is to receive configuration instructions from the requesting end; to call management functions through a descriptive state transition interface to execute the configuration instructions on the network switch and return the operation results to the requesting end; to obtain the operating status data of the network switch through the descriptive state transition interface and generate historical reports; and to periodically verify the consistency of the configuration status of the network switch through the descriptive state transition interface.

[0055] 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 functions, they have key shortcomings. Protocols like CLI and SNMP lack support for unified management of large-scale network devices, resulting in low maintenance and management efficiency, particularly in large-scale switch cluster environments. Therefore, improving the efficiency of network device management remains a problem that needs to be addressed.

[0056] This application uses a descriptive state transition interface to call management functions to uniformly manage network switch applications, thereby improving the efficiency of network device management.

[0057] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a network switch management method based on a descriptive state transition interface, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the network switch management method based on the descriptive state transition interface of this application.

[0058] In this embodiment, the network switch management method based on the representational state transition interface includes steps S10 to S40:

[0059] Step S10: Receive configuration instructions from the requesting end;

[0060] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an electronic device capable of implementing the above functions, a network switch management device based on a representational state transition interface, etc. The following description uses a network switch management device based on a representational state transition interface as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.

[0061] Understandably, configuration commands include instructions for adding, deleting, querying, and modifying devices. Administrators send requests to add or delete devices, view device status, or modify device configurations.

[0062] Step S20: Invoke the management function through the descriptive state transition interface to execute the configuration command on the network switch and return the operation result to the requesting end;

[0063] Understandably, the Representational State Transfer API (RESTful API) is a web service interface designed based on the REST architectural style. Through this RESTful API, a unified and concise data exchange method is provided, facilitating integration with different operating systems and device management platforms. All API interfaces adhere to the RESTful style, use the HTTP protocol, and follow a "resource + operation" model in their design. Data is formatted using JSON or XML for easy parsing and processing. Response data includes device status information, configuration data, or operation results. Appropriate HTTP status codes are used to represent different request statuses in the API design, such as 200 (success), 400 (error), and 500 (server error). The Representational State Transfer API uses 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.

[0064] In one feasible approach, the step of invoking management functions through a descriptive state transition interface to execute the configuration command on the network switch and returning the operation result to the requesting end includes: executing a device add request and creating a new switch entity through the descriptive state transition interface, obtaining an add operation result; executing a device delete request and removing the specified switch entity through the descriptive state transition interface, obtaining a delete operation result; executing a device query request and returning the current device parameter set through the descriptive state transition interface, obtaining a query operation result; executing a device modify request and updating the configuration parameters of the target switch through the descriptive state transition interface, obtaining a modify operation result; and returning the add operation result, the delete operation result, the query operation result, and the modify operation result to the requesting end.

[0065] Understandably, the device management system, upon receiving a request, invokes the internal management functions of the Sonic switch system to execute the corresponding device operations and returns the results to the administrator in JSON format. Adding, deleting, modifying, and querying devices are all performed through a unified API interface, thus simplifying management operations.

[0066] In one feasible approach, after receiving the configuration instruction from the requesting end, the method further includes: verifying the digital certificate and access token of the requesting end; parsing the operation permission range of the access token; and when the configuration instruction exceeds the operation permission range, intercepting the configuration instruction and returning an error code through the expressive state transition interface.

[0067] Understandably, verifying the digital certificate and access token of the requesting end aims to ensure API security through encrypted communication and access control, preventing external attacks and data leaks. All API requests use HTTPS for encrypted communication, ensuring secure data transmission and preventing man-in-the-middle attacks and data leaks. An I-key-based authentication mechanism is implemented in the API interface to ensure that only authenticated users can access the management interface. Administrators need to authenticate using a key when accessing the API. Access control: By setting user roles and access controls (such as administrators, regular users, etc.), it is ensured that users with different roles can only access functions within their authorized scope.

[0068] In one feasible approach, after receiving the configuration instruction from the requesting end, the method further 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 an 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 execution error of the configuration task is detected.

[0069] Understandably, the API interface implements task queue management, adding requests to the queue and executing them sequentially to ensure the smooth execution of configuration tasks. It also supports rollback operations for configuration tasks, allowing restoration to the original configuration in case of problems.

[0070] Step S30: Obtain the operating status data of the network switch through the expressive state transition interface and generate a historical report;

[0071] Understandably, a RESTful API allows administrators to obtain real-time operational status data for network switches, including device traffic, port status, CPU and memory usage, helping them understand device performance and troubleshoot as needed. The specific steps involve periodically requesting device performance data via the API. GET requests are used to retrieve device status data, including switch port status, network traffic, CPU and memory usage. This data is generated by the switch system's internal monitoring module and returned to the administrator via the API. The data format is typically JSON or XML, facilitating further processing and display on the management platform. A scheduled task is implemented within the system to periodically request device status data and store it in a database for generating historical reports or conducting analysis.

[0072] In one feasible approach, the step of obtaining the network switch's operational status data through the expressive state transition interface and generating a historical report includes: obtaining the collection frequency and collection indicators; obtaining the network switch's operational status data through the expressive state transition interface according to the collection frequency and collection indicators; sorting the operational status data by time to obtain a sorting result; and generating a historical report based on the sorting result.

[0073] Understandably, the sampling frequency determines the data collection interval, and the sampling metrics determine the content of the collected device data. Users can define the sampling frequency and sampling metrics according to their needs. The collected operational status data can be displayed in chronological order. For numerical data, such as CPU utilization and memory utilization, historical reports can show the changing trends and more clearly display the switch status.

[0074] Step S40: Periodically verify the consistency of the configuration state of the network switch through the expressive state transition interface.

[0075] Understandably, the configuration items of the network switch can be retrieved periodically through the RESTful API, and the consistency of the network switch's configuration status can be verified by comparing the configuration items before and after.

[0076] Understandably, by defining clear interface standards, new devices or functions can be implemented by extending existing API interfaces. For example, if support for new switch hardware or new management functions is needed in the future, only the interfaces need to be extended and the functions integrated on the existing system, without modifying the existing interface design. It supports compatibility with multiple operating systems and device management platforms, and through standardized API interfaces, it can seamlessly interface with other devices and management platforms to form a unified device management and operation and maintenance platform.

[0077] This embodiment provides a network switch management method based on a representational state transition interface. The method involves receiving a configuration command from a requesting end; invoking a management function through the representational state transition interface to execute the configuration command on the network switch and returning the operation result to the requesting end; obtaining the network switch's operating status data through the representational state transition interface and generating a historical report; and periodically verifying the consistency of the network switch's configuration status through the representational state transition interface.

[0078] In summary, this embodiment improves the efficiency of network device management by using the descriptive state transition interface to call management functions and uniformly manage network switch applications.

[0079] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the second embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to that in the first embodiment described above can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 2 Step S40 also includes steps S401 to S404:

[0080] Step S401: Obtain the set of baseline configuration parameters for the network switch;

[0081] Understandably, the baseline configuration parameter set refers to the standard configuration preset by the administrator.

[0082] Step S402: Collect the real-time configuration parameter set of the network switch in real time through the expressive state transition interface;

[0083] Understandably, the real-time configuration parameter set refers to the network switch's real-time configuration data. This real-time configuration parameter set can be obtained periodically through the aforementioned descriptive state transition interface.

[0084] Step S403: Compare the deviation values ​​between the baseline configuration parameter set and the real-time configuration parameter set;

[0085] By comparing the baseline configuration parameter set with the real-time configuration parameter set, the deviation value can be obtained. The deviation value can reflect the difference between the state of the network switch and the ideal state.

[0086] Step S404: Verify the consistency of the configuration status of the network switch based on the deviation value.

[0087] Understandably, the deviation value can be used to determine the configuration status of the network switch and verify its consistency with the preset status. Automated configuration and maintenance of devices are achieved through API interfaces. Administrators can write scripts to configure parameters of multiple devices in batches via the API, reducing manual operations. It supports sending device configuration parameters as scripts to the server via POST requests, automating configuration tasks. For example, an administrator can write a script to update network device configurations, IP addresses, or security settings in batches.

[0088] In one feasible approach, after verifying the consistency of the network switch's configuration status based on the deviation value, the method further includes: generating a verification report when the consistency meets the requirements; and modifying the network switch's configuration parameters according to the baseline configuration parameter set and generating alarm information based on the deviation value when the consistency does not meet the requirements.

[0089] Understandably, when the network switch configuration parameters differ significantly from the baseline configuration parameters, a RESTful API can be used to update the network switch configuration and maintain consistency.

[0090] This embodiment obtains the baseline configuration parameter set of the network switch; collects the real-time configuration parameter set of the network switch in real time through the expressive state transition interface; compares the 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.

[0091] This embodiment verifies the consistency of the network switch's configuration state through a descriptive state transition interface, which can keep the network switch in an ideal state and improve the efficiency of network device management.
