Network management interface information collection controlling point system and its controlling method

Abstract

An architecture of a network management interface information collection control point, comprising a root interface information collection control point, one or more level connection interface information collection control points, one or more device interface information collection control points, and a root interface information collection control point. The control points are respectively connected with the level connection port information collection control point, and the level connection port information collection control point is respectively connected with the equipment interface information collection control point, thereby forming a tree structure. By adopting the invention, the problems of performance bottleneck and information redundancy caused by the single setting of the original network management interface information collection point can be solved, and the load of the network management system and the interface information collection control point can be reduced; the backup strategy also improves the reliability of the network management interface data; The information collection control point can not only be used to access network elements (agents) from the network management system or the northbound network management interface of the network element management system, but also be used between network management systems at different management levels and performing different management responsibilities that are connected through the interface. .

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a network management system in the communication field, in particular to a system structure and a control method for implementing centralized management of network management interface information of a managed system under a network management environment. Background technique [0002] In a complex network management environment with multiple management levels and systems, management resource elements at different management levels, such as managers in the management system and agents in the managed system, need to manage information through the network management interface in order to achieve management goals. interaction, figure 1 Describes the interface relationship between the network management system (manager) and the managed system (agent). [0003] Network management systems at different management levels and performing different management responsibilities need to obtain relevant managed system interface information b...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In this case, the interface information collection control point is actually a part of the network management interface connected to the network element management system or the network element and the upper-level network management. As a result, the controllability of the quality of the network management interface is reduced, which brings hidden dangers to the quality

[0010] Second, the performance bottleneck of the interface information collection control point

like Figure 4 As shown, adopting the method of uniquely setting interface information collection control points will lead to multiple network management systems with multi-level interconnection sharing one interface information collection control point, which will lead to performance bottlenecks and connection complex problems of interface information collection control points

[0011] Third, interface information redundancy and security issues

In this way, a secondary network management system will obtain all the interface information in the interface information collection control point, but in fact, a secondary network management system does not need to obtain the interface information of other secondary networks. The management system is invalid information, so the system has to filter it, which increases the burden on the network management system and increases security risks

[0012] Fourth, reliability issues

The existing interface information collection control point method does not consider the data backup strategy, and the reliability of the interface data needs to be further improved

[0013] Fifth, the scope of application

However, the existing interface information collection control point cannot be applied between any two network management systems that are connected through the network management interface and exchange management information
