Information management method in data communication equipment

Abstract

The management method of configuration information in data communication equipment is characterized by that said method designs a Section for every kind of configuration information, according to theSection, on the main control board a Section vector array structure for storing and managing configuration data is set, so that when the equipment is started, firstly the Section is created, the Build Run of every configuration processing module of said equipment can be registered under the correspondent Section of the above-mentioned Section vector array structure, and according to the configuration file stored in the equipment the configuration can be restored under the Section. Said invention can effectively combine various dispersed configuration informations and solve the management problem of configuration informations under the distributed environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an information management method of data communication equipment, in particular to a management method of equipment configuration information. Background technique [0002] In a data communication device, configuring the device is the basis for ensuring reliable operation of the device. The configuration is a collection of device operations performed by the user, and managing the above configuration information is a basic requirement for the user to manage the device. For example, in order to avoid complex and cumbersome repeated operations, the information that has been configured by the user usually needs to be saved; and all effective configurations that have been made can be displayed conveniently; All configuration information can be restored automatically, that is, hot swap is supported; and so on. [0003] This series of problems involves each module that provides user configuration information in the entire device, tha...

Problems solved by technology

The biggest disadvantage of the above method is that it does not provide support for distributed environments, and the management efficiency of configuration information is low. The performance is as follows: First, it takes a long time to collect information on the interface board. It will waste system resources, and the long collection time will make the user unbearable; second, the method of reading the saved configuration information only when the device starts does not support hot swapping, and the information on the interface board cannot be used during hot swapping. Save and restore; the third is that the integration of a large amount of configuration information will take up a large memory space
