Problems solved by technology

Especially for the configuration of BIOS, the system administrator needs to go to the client to configure in person, which increases the workload of the administrator and affects the work efficiency
[0007] No literature has been retrieved on management extensions and implementations to BIOS

Embodiment Construction

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Referring to FIG. 1 , the method of the present invention can run in a network system, and the system includes a control terminal and a client terminal, both of which are connected through Ethernet. in:

[0028] The client runs on the monitored computer, and its implementation depends on the following hardware devices: network card, control chip located on the network card, EEPROM, BIOS, and ACPI of the network card. The software it relies on for its realization includes: network card driver, client software Agent SW running on the operating system. The control terminal runs on the remote monitoring machine, realizes the management of the client BIOS by sending commands to the client, and can obtain the POST alarm information and BIOS information sent by the client at the same time. It realizes the ultimate human-computer int...

Abstract

The invention relates to a basic input / output system information acquiring method through the remote configuration. It is composed of the following steps. The client writes the IP address of the controlling terminal into the memory of the network interface card. The controlling terminal then transfers the control command to the network interface card of the client. The client's network interface card filters the control command, which belongs to the ASF, and transfers the command to the control chips of the network interface card. Having received the command, the control chips make the determination. As for the BIOS command, it is stored to the specific memory in a certain format. When the client BIOS is set up, it acquires the BIOS configuration command from the specific memory. According to the fixed BIOS format, the BIOS information needed is transferred to the control chips of the network interface card, which processes the received BIOS information for the second time and packages the information into the warning packages transferred to the control terminal. The invention realizes the remote BIOS configuration. The administrator of the system can help the client to configure the BIOS remotely, which improves the work efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer network management technology, in particular to a method for obtaining basic input and output system (BIOS) information through remote configuration. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of the computer industry, the application of computers in enterprises is becoming more and more popular, but general computer users cannot fully understand some relatively in-depth computer knowledge, such as setting BIOS and dealing with computer crashes. When a problem occurs, the network administrator usually has to run back and forth between various end users, which not only wastes a lot of energy of the administrator, but also reduces the efficiency of the system administrator. Therefore, the need for centralized management of computers is becoming more and more intense. [0003] The software-based centralized network management solution appeared in the 1990s. On the premise of ensuring that users have su...
