[0002] In a specific network environment, various types of network devices (such as switches, routers, firewalls, etc.) from different manufacturers are often used. These network devices come from different manufacturers and may use different communication protocols, data formats and management interfaces, which results in network management personnel facing many challenges, such as how to centrally manage these heterogeneous devices, how to implement unified monitoring and configuration management, and how to ensure the coordinated work between devices. At this time, network management software plays a huge role. In order to facilitate people to manage various different devices, network management software needs to have the ability to interface with devices of various third-party manufacturers.

[0060] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application or the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings needed to be used in the description of the embodiments of the application or the prior art. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments described in the application, and other drawings can also be obtained by those skilled in the art according to these drawings of the embodiments of the application.

[0064] Figure 4 A hardware architecture schematic diagram of a device configuration apparatus provided in the embodiment of the application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0065] The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used in the description of the application and the claims, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It also will be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0066] It is to be understood that the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It is to be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein encompasses all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items and that terms describing conditional functions, such as "if," "when," "responding to," or "in response to," encompass both the positive conditions of the function as well as the negative "if not" condition of the function.

[0067] Currently, when uniformly managing different manufacturers / types of third-party devices, the business code layer world is adapted, and when there is a third-party device, the business module directly hard codes the netconf xml of the specific business configuration. This is also the most commonly used and most direct method of adapting and connecting third-party devices.

[0068] The above-mentioned manner can completely meet the connection of third-party devices, unified business management interface, and unified north Restful interface, but in order to achieve these purposes, the scheme needs to hard code different processing methods for different devices in the business logic. Therefore, the developer needs to understand different configuration models of different manufacturers and different devices, and develop different business codes according to different configuration models of different devices, and each time a new third-party manufacturer device is adapted, the code needs to be redeveloped and the version needs to be released.

[0069] The embodiments of the present application provide a scheme for flexibly connecting other manufacturer third-party devices by uploading a general yang model by a user, obtaining a yang model of a device to be configured, and obtaining a mapping relationship between the general yang model configured by the user and parameter nodes of different device yangs, and combining a yang converter function.

[0070] For example, referring to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a detailed flowchart of a device configuration method provided by the embodiments of the present application is provided. The method is applied to a controller. The controller maintains a general configuration description file and device configuration description files of various types of devices. The controller is preconfigured with a mapping relationship between each parameter node included in the device configuration of each type of device and each parameter node included in the general configuration. The method comprises the following steps:

[0071] Step 100: obtaining device type information of a target device and parameter values of each parameter node of the target device to be configured.

[0072] In the embodiment, the general configuration description file can be a general yang model including each parameter node customized by a user, and the device configuration description file of each type of device can be a device yang model including each parameter node required to be configured by the device. The general yang model refers to a yang model describing each device node parameter customized by the user, which is general and not limited to any manufacturer or any type of device.

[0073] Preferably, the general configuration description file is displayed to the user in the form of a user configuration interface, and the configuration interface includes a device selection option to be configured and input boxes of each parameter node included in the general configuration description file.

[0074] That is, the configuration interface includes parameter input boxes corresponding to each parameter node included in the general configuration description file, and the user can configure values of each parameter node in the corresponding input boxes.

[0075] Correspondingly, when obtaining the device type information of the target device and the parameter values of each parameter node of the target device to be configured, a preferred implementation manner is as follows:

[0076] Receiving the device type information of the target device and the parameter values of each parameter node of the target device to be configured input by the user through the configuration interface.

[0077] In actual application, when a new network device (e.g., the target device) is added in the controller subnetwork networking, the controller can detect that the new network device is added in the networking.

[0078] That is, in the embodiment, before step 100 is performed, the above device configuration method can further include the following steps:

[0079] When it is detected that the target device accesses the networking, obtaining the device type information of the target device; determining whether the device configuration description file corresponding to the device type of the target device exists locally; when it is determined that the device configuration description file corresponding to the device type of the target device does not exist locally, obtaining the device configuration description file of the target device from the target device, and establishing a mapping relationship between each parameter node included in the device configuration of the target device and each parameter node included in the general configuration.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the configuration interface further comprises a parameter node mapping configuration page for establishing a mapping relationship between each parameter node included in the device configuration of the target device and each parameter node included in the general configuration. Then, when establishing the mapping relationship between each parameter node included in the device configuration of the target device and each parameter node included in the general configuration, a preferred implementation is as follows:

[0081] analyzing the device configuration description file of the target device to obtain each parameter node included in the device configuration of the target device and display the same to the user; and establishing the mapping relationship between each parameter node included in the device configuration of the target device and each parameter node included in the general configuration based on the corresponding relationship between each parameter node included in the device configuration of the target device and each parameter node included in the general configuration defined by the user through the parameter node mapping configuration interface.

[0082] For example, referring to Table 1, the mapping relationship between each parameter node included in the device configuration description file provided by the embodiment of the present application and each parameter node included in the general configuration description file is shown.

[0083]

[0084] Table 1

[0085] Specifically, the controller can obtain the device configuration description file corresponding to the target device from the target device, analyze the device configuration description file to obtain each parameter node information included in the device configuration description file, and display the parameter node information to the user. The user establishes the mapping relationship between each parameter node included in the device configuration and each parameter node included in the general configuration based on the association relationship between each parameter node included in the device configuration description file and each parameter node included in the general configuration description file.

[0086] It should be noted that the mapping relationship further comprises device type information of the target device. That is, the corresponding mapping relationship can be found through the device type of the target device.

[0087] Step 110: based on the device type of the target device, determining the target mapping relationship between each parameter node included in the device configuration of the target device and each parameter node included in the general configuration from the mapping relationship between each parameter node included in the device configuration of each type of device and each parameter node included in the general configuration.

[0088] Specifically, the user selects the target device to be configured through the configuration interface, i.e., selects the device type of the target device to be configured, and the controller determines the target mapping relationship between each parameter node included in the target device configuration corresponding to the target device and each parameter node included in the general configuration based on the device type of the target device from the mapping table maintained locally.

[0089] Step 120: generating a data configuration file for configuring the target device based on the parameter values of each parameter node of the target device and the target mapping relationship.

[0090] In actual application, the parameter node input box displayed by the configuration interface is associated with each parameter node included in the general configuration, i.e., the input parameter values of each parameter node correspond to the values of the corresponding parameter nodes included in the general configuration.

[0091] Then, after the controller determines the target mapping relationship between each parameter node included in the target device configuration corresponding to the target device and each parameter node included in the general configuration, the controller can establish the association relationship between the parameter values of each parameter node and each parameter node included in the target device configuration according to the first relationship between the parameter values of each parameter node input by the user through the configuration page and each parameter node included in the general configuration, and the second relationship between each parameter node included in the general configuration and each parameter node included in the target device configuration.

[0092] In this way, the controller can generate a data configuration file for configuring the target device according to the parameter values of each parameter node and the target device configuration description file.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, a preferred implementation manner is that the general configuration description file is a general yang model including each parameter node customized by the user, and the device configuration description file of each type of device is a device yang model including each parameter node required to be configured by the device. Then, when generating a data configuration file for configuring the target device based on the parameter values of each parameter node of the target device and the target mapping relationship, a preferred implementation manner is:

[0094] determining the device yang model corresponding to the target device based on the target mapping relationship; and generating the netconf xml configuration of the target device based on the parameter values of each parameter node of the target device and the device yang model corresponding to the target device through a yang converter.

[0095] Step 130: issuing the data configuration file to the target device.

[0096] The controller issues the xml format device configuration file to the target device, so that the target device performs configuration based on the received xml format device configuration file.

[0097] The device configuration issuing process provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below in combination with a specific application scenario. For example, refer to Figure 2 Fig. 1 shows a device configuration issuing process provided by the embodiment of the application, and the configuration issuing process is as follows:

[0098] 1) A UI configuration interface is generated according to a general yang model.

[0099] The UI configuration interface is to display the nodes of yang that need to be configured by a user so as to fill in the corresponding data of each node. As can be seen from the above, since the UI configuration interface is a configuration interface generated according to the general yang model, it is irrelevant to different manufacturers / type devices.

[0100] 2) The user inputs data according to the UI configuration interface.

[0101] For example, index is 1 / 1 / 1, ip is 192.168.0.1, and mask is 255.255.255.0.

[0102] 3) The system automatically searches the yang nodes of device 1 corresponding to the general yang nodes according to the mapping table.

[0103] 4) The system automatically binds the user configuration data to the yang nodes of the device.

[0104] 5) The yang converter generates the xml configuration of device 1 according to the yang model of device 1 and the user configuration data.

[0105] 6) The system issues the xml configuration to device 1 through a netconf issuing module.

[0106] The configuration issuing process of the system to device 2 is the same as that to device 1, except that the parameter node mapping relationship between the yang model of device 2 and the general yang model is searched when device 2 is selected, and then the yang converter generates the xml configuration of device 2 according to the yang model of device 2 and the user data bound to the yang nodes of device 2 and issues the xml configuration to device 2.

[0107] In actual application, the general yang model can also be used to generate the northbound Restful interface, which is irrelevant to the yang models of various devices. Therefore, the northbound external system is called uniformly and standardized. The standardized calling of the external system is realized.

[0108] Based on the same inventive concept as the above embodiment, for example, refer to Figure 3As shown, a structural schematic diagram of a device configuration apparatus provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown, the apparatus is applied to a controller, the controller maintains a general configuration description file and device configuration description files of various types of devices, and the controller is preconfigured with a mapping relationship between parameter nodes included in device configurations of various types of devices and parameter nodes included in general configurations; the apparatus includes:

[0125] Optionally, the general configuration description file is a general yang model including each parameter node customized by a user, and the device configuration description file of each type of device is a device yang model including each parameter node required for configuration of a device.
