Problems solved by technology

[0012] In recent years, with the rapid expansion of the network and the increasing number of various management and security issues that follow, the probability of abnormalities in network equipment has also increased; and the above-mentioned Agent testing method can only realize the basic functions of the Agent. It is impossible to monitor the abnormality of the network equipment at the same time as the Agent test. It can be seen that there are automation blind spots in the prior art in the abnormal monitoring of the Agent test.
[0013] In addition, the main content of the Agent test should not only include the test of the Agent's own functions, but also include stress tests in various complex environments and comparisons with device-related information, which cannot be achieved by using the above-mentioned existing technologies comparison and stress testing, therefore, existing technologies also have automated blind spots in terms of stress testing and comparison of equipment information

Embodiment 1

[0036] This embodiment illustrates how to use the technical solution of the present invention to realize abnormality monitoring in Agent automated testing.

[0037] FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for implementing automated testing of an SNMP agent in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Referring to Figure 1, the method pre-sets the basic use case data for Agent testing, and the method also includes the following steps:

[0038] Step 101: Setting test parameters and abnormal monitoring objects.

[0039] In this step, the set test parameters at least include: the IP address of the network device under test, the root object identifier (OID) of the MIB node under test in the network device under test, the MIB source file address and topology information under test, and simultaneously It may include parameters for selecting test cases, test version parameters, log file address parameters, configuration file parameters corresponding to topology information, command ...

Embodiment 2

[0066] FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for implementing automated testing of SNMP agents in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. On the basis of the technical solution described in Example 1, the technical solution of this embodiment adds some operational steps for stress testing, see Figure 2, the method includes the following steps:

[0067] Step 201: Set test parameters and abnormal monitoring objects.

[0068] In addition to the parameters described in the first embodiment, the test parameters set in this embodiment also need to include the parameter of the number of cycles.

[0069] In this step, a unified cycle number parameter can be set for all basic use case data or all test cases to be tested, or a respective cycle number parameter can be set for each test case to be tested. When performing a stress test, this parameter is used to judge whether the number of cycles has reached the preset number.

[0070] In step 202 and step 203, perform operations si...

Embodiment 3

[0082] The test of the device information comparison function added in this embodiment may be based on the technical solution described in Embodiment 1, or may be based on the technical solution described in Embodiment 2. Let's take Embodiment 1 as an example to illustrate

[0083] In this embodiment, on the basis of the technical solution described in the first embodiment, the comparison use case data is set in advance, and when the test parameters are set in step 101, the parameters for selecting the comparison use case are further set.

[0084] The comparison use case data set in this embodiment includes commands that need to be sent to the network device under test during the comparison, and processing parameters for returning information to the network device under test.

[0085] The set parameters for selecting and comparing use cases can be used to determine the use cases to be compared in the comparison use case data; here, the use cases to be compared refer to the use...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for automatically testing a simple network management protocol (SNMP) agent, which sets up basic case data beforehand and includes the following steps: A. it sets up test parameters and unusual monitoring object. B. it sends out the corresponding request text to the agent and the abnormal query command aimed at unusual monitoring object to the tested network equipment according to test parameters and basic case data. C. it analyzes the response text returned form agent, and the abnormal inquiry response comes back from network equipment, gets the test result and abnormal monitoring result. The invention also discloses the system based on the method. It can carry out the agent basic function automation test. Meanwhile, realize the abnormal monitoring of network equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to network management technology, in particular to a method and system for realizing automatic testing of an agent (Agent) in a simple network management protocol (SNMP). Background technique [0002] Simple Network Management Protocol is currently the most widely used network management protocol in TCP / IP networks, and is used to manage node devices in the network. There are several basic concepts in the SNMP protocol: management station, agent and management information base (MIB). [0003] Among them, the management station is the interface between the network administrator and the network management system. One or more management processes run on the management station, and the management process communicates with the Agent in the network device through the SNMP protocol; [0004] Agent is a process residing on the managed network device. The managed network device can be a host, router, bridge, switch, etc. configured with S...
