These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0064] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0065] It should be noted that the configuration methods, devices, equipment, media and products of the network equipment provided in this application can be used in the field of financial technology or other related fields, and can also be used in any field other than the field of financial technology or other related fields. This application does not limit the application field of the configuration methods, devices, equipment, media and products of the network equipment.

[0066] With the rapid development of information technology, network devices such as routers, switches, and integrated routers and switches play a vital role. They not only build the basic framework of the network, realize data transmission and forwarding, but also ensure that information can flow accurately in a complex and changing network environment.

[0067] In the prior art, when the configuration of a network device needs to be changed, the network change personnel must execute command configuration operations on the network device before knowing whether the network device has been changed successfully.

[0068] However, this operation of directly changing commands on network devices may cause configuration problems of network devices due to incorrect commands, thereby affecting the connectivity and stability of the network devices.

[0069] In response to the above problems, the present application provides a configuration method for a network device. The method first creates a copy of the configuration file of the network device, and executes a configuration change command on the copy. If the configuration change command does not report an error, it is verified whether it is effective; if the configuration change command reports an error, a matching reference command is automatically found for correction, and the verification process is repeated. Once the verification is passed, the copy of the executed change command is synchronized to the configuration file of the original network device according to the set timing. By creating a copy of the network device and automatically correcting the erroneous configuration change command, the method avoids the risks that may be caused by directly executing the configuration change command on the original configuration file, thereby ensuring that the connectivity and stability of the network device are not affected, thereby providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the network device.

[0070] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0071] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the process of configuring the network device provided in this application Figure 1 . Applied to the first network device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0072] S101. Create a copy of a configuration file of a first network device.

[0073] The first network device is used to indicate a device that needs to update the configuration file at the current moment.

[0074] The first network device includes but is not limited to: a router, a switch, and an all-in-one router and switch.

[0075] The purpose of creating a copy of the configuration file of the first network device in this step is to protect the network device that currently needs to update the configuration file.

[0076] It is understandable that when the network change personnel need to update the configuration file of the first network device, in order to protect the configuration file and avoid the risks that may be caused by direct modification, they will send a creation instruction to the operating system corresponding to the first network device. The purpose of this instruction is to inform the operating system that a copy of the configuration file needs to be created for the network device. By doing so, the network change personnel can update and test the copy without directly modifying the original configuration file. This method can effectively prevent the configuration file from being damaged or wrong due to operational errors, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the network device and the security of the configuration.

[0077] For example, assume that the first network device is an MP2900-14 routing switch. It is known that the network change personnel currently need to update the configuration file startup of the MP2900-14 routing switch. Based on the above information, the network change personnel will first log in to the operating system corresponding to the MP2900-14 routing switch. Then, they will issue a creation instruction to the operating system, requiring the system to create a copy of the startup configuration file of the MP2900-14 routing switch. In response to this instruction, the operating system will immediately perform the creation operation and dynamically allocate a temporary space in its internal storage system. Subsequently, the operating system will copy the entire content of the startup configuration file to this temporary space and name the new file startup1. In this way, the network change personnel can update and test the copy file without affecting the original production configuration file.

[0078] S102. Execute the configuration change command for the replica. If the configuration change command does not report an error, verify whether the configuration change command is effective. If the configuration change command reports an error, find a reference command that matches the configuration change command, modify the configuration change command based on the found reference command, and repeat this step.

[0079] The situation where no error is reported for the configuration change command includes but is not limited to: no error occurs in the command format, no parameter mismatch occurs, or no error occurs in the syntax.

[0080] The purpose of this step is to execute the change commands on the copy of the configuration file without affecting the original configuration file and verify that the changes are effective as expected.

[0081] It can be understood that after the network change personnel inputs the configuration change command to the operating system corresponding to the first network device, if the operating system confirms that the command is correct (that is, no error occurs) through its built-in instruction detection mechanism, it is necessary to further verify whether these changes are accepted by the first network device and take effect; if it is determined that an error occurs in the configuration change command, it is necessary to find and match the corresponding reference command for correction, and repeat this step until the configuration change command can be correctly executed and take effect.

[0082] For example, suppose the network change personnel input the configuration change command "mac-address static AAAA.AAAA.AAAA vlan 100interface FastEthernet0 / 33" and the verification command "ping 192.168.168.168" on the operating system corresponding to the MP2900-14 routing switch that needs to update the configuration. The operating system will then perform an error check on the configuration change command through its built-in command detection mechanism. If the command is correct, the network change personnel will verify whether the configuration change command has been accepted and taken effect by the first network device through the verification command; if an error is detected in the configuration change command, the operating system will automatically correct the configuration change command and re-enter the corrected command for execution and verification until the configuration change command can be correctly executed and takes effect.

[0083] Optionally, the present application provides a method for finding a reference command that matches a configuration change command, and modifying the configuration change command based on the found reference command, including;

[0084] The first step is to determine the fixed participle in the configuration change command and find the reference command that matches the fixed participle.

[0085] The purpose of determining the fixed segmentation words in the configuration change command in this step is to filter out those words that are consistent in grammatical format and segmentation format and have no errors in content from the configuration change command.

[0086] The purpose of searching for a reference command that matches a fixed participle is to find a command that can correct an incorrect configuration change command.

[0087] In the second step, a reference participle matching the error participle in the configuration change command is determined from the reference command, and the error participle in the configuration change command is corrected to the reference participle.

[0088] The purpose of this step is to locate and correct errors in the configuration change command by using the correct reference command.

[0089] In this step, a reference word matching the error word in the configuration change command is first searched from the reference command, and then, when a matching reference word is found, the operating system immediately replaces the error word in the configuration change command with the correct reference word.

[0090] S103: When verifying that the configuration change command is effective, synchronize the copy after executing the configuration change command on the copy to the configuration file of the first network device according to the scheduled time.

[0091] The timing time is used to determine when to synchronize the configuration change command for the replica to the configuration file of the first network device.

[0092] The timing time may be, for example, immediately, or a specific future time point, or may be determined based on a periodic event (such as a fixed time of day), and the present application does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0093] The purpose of this step is to ensure that these changes can be synchronized to the configuration file of the first network device at a predetermined time based on verifying that the configuration change command has taken effect.

[0094] It can be understood that synchronizing the verified and effective copy to the configuration file of the first network device according to the preset timing not only ensures that the configuration changes can be accurately applied to the first network device according to the predetermined plan, but also effectively reduces the potential risks caused by the configuration changes, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the first network device.

[0095] For example, suppose the configuration change command is "mac-address static 0000.5E00.01A5 vlan 100interface FastEthernet0 / 33". It is known that the network change personnel set the scheduled time to 10 pm. Then at the set 10 pm, the operating system will automatically trigger the synchronization operation and synchronize the copy content that already contains the configuration change command after it takes effect to the original configuration file of the MP2900-14 routing switch.

[0096] Optionally, after synchronizing the copy after executing the configuration change command for the copy to the configuration file of the first network device at a scheduled time, in order to save storage space and avoid potential configuration confusion, the present application will also automatically delete the copy on which the change operation has been performed.

[0097] The configuration method of a network device provided in an embodiment of the present application first creates a copy of a configuration file for a first network device, and then executes a configuration change command on the copy. If the configuration change command is executed correctly, it is further verified whether it is effective; if the configuration change command encounters an error, the matching reference command is automatically searched for correction, and this process is repeated until it is correct. Once it is confirmed that the configuration change is effective, the updated copy will be synchronized to the original configuration file according to the preset timing strategy, thereby completing the configuration update. This method effectively solves network device configuration problems caused by configuration command errors, avoids the decline in network connectivity and stability caused by incorrect commands, realizes accurate and secure changes in network device configuration, and significantly improves the efficiency and reliability of network management. In addition, by creating a copy of the configuration file, the method provides great flexibility for network change personnel, allowing them to change the configuration of network equipment at any time, thereby improving the work efficiency of network change personnel.

[0098] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the process of configuring the network device provided in this application Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment Figure 1 Based on the embodiment, a configuration method of a network device is described in detail, and the method includes:

[0099] S201: Create a copy of a configuration file of a first network device.

[0100] The explanation of step S201 is similar to that of the above step S101 and will not be repeated here.

[0101] S202: Execute a configuration change command for the replica.

[0102] The explanation of step S202 refers to the explanation of the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0103] S203: If the configuration change command does not report an error, verify whether the configuration change command is effective.

[0104] The explanation of step S203 refers to the explanation of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0105] S204: When the configuration change command reports an error, search the first network device for a reference command that matches the configuration change command, and modify the configuration change command based on the reference command found on the first network device.

[0106] The first network device itself refers to the network device itself that currently needs to be configured.

[0107] The purpose of this step is to search the first network device for a reference command that matches the erroneous configuration change command, and automatically correct the erroneous configuration change command through the reference command.

[0108] It is understandable that when the operating system determines that the configuration change command input by the network change personnel is incorrect, the operating system will first search on the local machine of the first network device to find a reference command that matches the incorrect configuration change command. When the operating system finds a configuration change command that can correct the incorrect configuration change command on the local machine of the first network device, the operating system will automatically correct the incorrect configuration change command. Then, after the operating system corrects the incorrect configuration change command, the operating system will also check whether the corrected configuration change command reports an error. Finally, when the operating system determines that the corrected configuration change command does not report an error, the operating system will verify whether the corrected configuration change command is effective through a verification command.

[0109] For example, if the configuration change command "mac-address static 0000.5E00.01A5 vlan 100 interface FastEthennet0 / 33" executed by the copy of the configuration file of the MP2900-14 router switch reports an error at fastethennet0 / 33, then the operating system corresponding to the MP2900-14 router switch will first search within the router switch itself. Afterwards, when the operating system finds that "mac-address static 0000.5E00.01A5 vlan 100 interface FastEthernet0 / 32" matches the incorrect configuration change command "mac-address static 0000.5E00.01A5 vlan 100 interfaceFastEthennet0 / 33" in the router and switch, the operating system replaces "fastethennet0 / 33" with "fastethernet0 / 33" and generates a corrected configuration change command "mac-address static AAAA.AAAA.AAAA vlan 100interface fastethernet0 / 33". Then, the operating system verifies whether the corrected configuration change command reports an error. Finally, when the operating system determines that the corrected configuration change command does not report an error, the operating system verifies whether the corrected configuration change command is effective by executing a verification command.

[0110] S205. When the configuration change command is corrected based on the reference command found on the first network device and an error is reported when the configuration change command for the copy is executed again, a reference command matching the configuration change command is searched from other network devices other than the first network device, and the configuration change command is corrected based on the reference command found on the other network devices.

[0111] The other network devices include, but are not limited to: network devices of the same brand and model and network devices of the same brand but different models.

[0112] The purpose of this step is to further expand the search scope and find other possible solutions in order to more accurately locate and correct the errors in the configuration change command.

[0113] It can be understood that after the operating system corrects the configuration change command based on the reference command found locally on the first network device, if an error still occurs when the corrected configuration change command is executed again, the operating system will search for a reference command that matches the erroneous configuration change command from other network devices other than the first network device.

[0114] S206. When the configuration change command is verified to be effective, a configuration change review confirmation instruction and a change execution reservation instruction are received. The configuration change review confirmation instruction is used to indicate that the configuration change command for the copy is executed and the verification review is passed, and the change execution reservation instruction is used to indicate the timing time.

[0115] Among them, by receiving the configuration change review and confirmation instruction, it can be ensured that the configuration change command of the copy has been strictly executed and verified and confirmed to be correct. At the same time, receiving the change execution reservation instruction sets a clear time point for the execution of the configuration change, which helps to ensure that the change operation is carried out within the scheduled time and avoid unnecessary interference with normal network operation.

[0116] In this step, when the operating system successfully verifies and determines that the configuration change command has taken effect, it will actively send a confirmation instruction to the network change personnel to verify the correctness of the network change command. After receiving this confirmation instruction, the network change personnel will carefully check it, and after confirming that it is correct, send a change review confirmation instruction to the operating system to indicate the approval of the configuration change command. At the same time, the network change personnel will also send a change execution reservation instruction to specify a suitable time point to execute the configuration change.

[0117] It can be understood that when the operating system determines that the configuration change command is effective through the verification command, the operating system will receive the change review confirmation instruction and the change execution appointment instruction sent by the network change personnel. Subsequently, the operating system will complete the configuration change of the first network device according to the timing time in the change execution preset instruction.

[0118] S207: Synchronize the copy after executing the configuration change command for the copy to the configuration file of the first network device according to the scheduled time.

[0119] The explanation of step S207 refers to the explanation of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0120] The configuration method of a network device provided in an embodiment of the present application first creates a copy of a configuration file for a first network device, and then executes a configuration change command on the copy. If there is no error in the configuration change command, a verification of effectiveness is performed; if an error is encountered, a matching reference command is first searched on the first network device for correction. If an error is still reported after the local correction, a reference command is further searched on other network devices for correction. Once the configuration change is verified to be effective, and after receiving the configuration change review and confirmation instruction and the change execution reservation instruction, the updated copy will be synchronized to the original configuration file of the first network device according to the scheduled time. This method effectively solves the network device configuration problem caused by configuration command errors, thereby avoiding the negative impact on the connectivity and stability of the network device, and further improving the accuracy and security of the configuration change, thereby enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of network management.

[0121] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the process of configuring the network device provided in this application Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment Figure 2 Based on the embodiment, the implementation process of searching for a reference command matching the configuration change command on other network devices other than the first network device is described in detail. The method includes:

[0122] S301. Obtain a network device search table for a first network device, where the network device search table includes a plurality of network devices other than the first network device and the brand, model, and weight of each network device.

[0123] The weight is used to characterize the degree of matching between the other network devices and the first network device. The higher the weight, the higher the degree of matching between the other network devices and the first network device. On the contrary, the lower the weight, the lower the degree of matching between the other network devices and the first network device.

[0124] The purpose of this step is to find other network devices that match the first network device.

[0125] It can be understood that by obtaining the network device retrieval table of the first network device, the operating system can obtain relevant information of other network devices except the first network device, including the brand and model of other network devices and their matching degree with the first network device (expressed by weight), so as to better correct the configuration change command of the first network device.

[0126] Optionally, when the operating system determines that the reference command found on the first network device cannot successfully correct the configuration change command, and the configuration change command for the copy is still reported when it is executed again, the operating system will pre-create a network search table for the first network device. The specific process is as follows: First, the operating system obtains the routing information table (as shown in Table 1), and the routing information table includes: multiple other network devices, and the brand, model and node location of each other network device; then, the operating system determines the weight of each other network device based on the brand, model and node location of the first network device, as well as the routing table information; finally, the operating system generates a network search table for the first network device based on the brand, model and weight of each other network device.

[0127] The operating system records the weight of other network devices of the same brand and model as 1, the weight of other network devices of the same brand but different models as 2, and the weight of other network devices of different brands and models as 3.

[0128] Optionally, after the operating system obtains the node position of each other network device, in order to more accurately generate the network search table of the first network device, the operating system further obtains a topological structure diagram of the network device (such as Figure 4 As shown), in order to comprehensively evaluate the brand, model and node location of each network device according to the topology diagram, thereby generating a network retrieval table for the first network device.

[0129] For example, assume that the first network device is an MP2900-14 router-switch integrated machine, with a brand of MP, a model of 2900, and a node location of B2. Based on this information, the operating system generates a network search table (as shown in Table 1), which lists the relevant information of other devices in the network. In this network search table, the first row is an MP2900 router identified as B5, the second row is an MP2900X router identified as B3, the third and fourth rows are both MP1900 routers identified as B1, the fifth row is an RGS2653G router identified as A1, the sixth row is an RGS2910 router identified as A3, and the last row is an H3CL83016C router identified as A4.

[0130] Table 1

[0131]

[0132] S302: Determine, from the network device search table, a second network device with the same brand and model as the first network device and a highest weight.

[0133] The purpose of this step is to find a second network device that is highly similar to the first network device from the network device search table.

[0134] Understandably, first of all, network devices of the same brand and model usually have a high degree of consistency in design, function, and compatibility, which makes configuration migration, troubleshooting, and performance optimization between them easier and more efficient.

[0135] Secondly, weight is an important indicator for evaluating the matching degree of network devices. Its weight directly reflects the matching degree between other network devices and the first network device. The higher the weight, the higher the matching degree between other network devices and the first network device; conversely, the lower the weight, the worse the matching degree.

[0136] Therefore, by selecting a network device of the same brand and model as the first network device and having the highest weight as the second network device from the network device search table, a highly similar second network device can be found.

[0137] For example, assume that the first network device is an MP2900-14 routing switch. The network search table of the MP2900-14 routing switch is known, as shown in Table 1. Then the operating system can determine the network device with brand MP, model 2900 and weight 1 from the network search table according to the brand and model of the MP2900-14 routing switch, and use it as the second network device.

[0138] S303: Search the second network device for a reference command that matches the configuration change command.

[0139] The purpose of this step is to find a command from the second network device of the same brand and model that can correct the incorrect configuration change command and use it as a reference command.

[0140] Understandably, the same brand and model usually means that the two network devices follow the same design specifications when they are manufactured, use similar hardware configurations, and have the same software version or feature set built in. This consistency makes the devices of the same brand and model have a high degree of similarity and compatibility when it comes to command configuration.

[0141] Therefore, when a second network device that is highly similar to the first network device is found, the second network device can be used as a query factor, and a command that can correct the erroneous configuration change command can be searched from the second network device, so that the erroneous configuration change command can be corrected according to the command.

[0142] In this step, for example, the network device configuration command of the second network device may be obtained first, and then a reference command matching the configuration change command may be searched from the network device configuration command.

[0143] S304. When the configuration change command is modified based on the reference command found on the second network device and an error is reported when the configuration change command for the copy is executed again, a third network device with the highest weight that is the same brand but different model as the first network device is determined from the network device search table.

[0144] Among them, when a network device of the same brand and model cannot correctly correct the configuration change command of the first network device, in order to expand the correction range and find possible solutions, it is necessary to determine a third network device of the same brand but different model as the first network device and with the highest weight from the network device retrieval table as a reference.

[0145] Understandably, first of all, devices of the same brand usually have high similarity and compatibility in terms of underlying technology, configuration command sets, syntax, etc. This similarity allows the operating system to obtain useful solutions from network devices of the same brand.

[0146] Secondly, different models of network equipment often have unique hardware configurations, software versions, or feature sets, which provides more choices and possibilities for the operating system.

[0147] In addition, weight is an important indicator for evaluating the matching degree of network devices, and its level directly reflects the matching degree between other network devices and the first network device. The higher the weight, the higher the matching degree between other network devices and the first network device; conversely, the lower the weight, the worse the matching degree between other network devices and the first network device.

[0148] Therefore, when the operating system determines that a network device of the same brand and model cannot correctly correct the configuration change command of the first network device, the operating system needs to select a network device with the same brand and different model as the first network device and the highest weight from the network device retrieval table and use it as the third network device for further reference.

[0149] S305: Search the third network device for a reference command that matches the configuration change command.

[0150] The purpose of this step is to find a command that can correct the incorrect configuration change command from a third network device of the same brand but different model, and use it as a reference command.

[0151] Understandably, different models of network devices of the same brand mean that, although they may differ in hardware configuration, software version or feature set, they maintain a high degree of similarity and compatibility in underlying technology, configuration command set and syntax, etc. This similarity enables the operating system to easily obtain useful solutions from network devices of the same brand and different models.

[0152] Therefore, when a third network device with a high degree of matching with the first network device is found, the third network device can be used as a query factor, and a command that can correct the erroneous configuration change command can be searched from the third network device, so that the erroneous configuration change command can be corrected according to the command.

[0153] In this step, for example, the network device configuration command of the third network device may be obtained first, and then a reference command matching the configuration change command may be searched from the network device configuration command.

[0154] Optionally, when the configuration change command is corrected based on the reference command found on the third network device, and the configuration change command for the copy is executed again, if an error still occurs, the operating system will automatically send a command failure message to the network change personnel. The purpose of this message is to inform the network change personnel that the configuration change command they entered is wrong and the automatic correction attempted by the system was unsuccessful. Through such a feedback mechanism, the network change personnel can promptly understand the status of the command execution and take appropriate measures to further correct the error.

[0155] The configuration method of a network device provided in an embodiment of the present application first obtains a network device retrieval table containing multiple other network devices and their brands, models and weight information; then, a second network device of the same brand and model as the first network device and with the highest weight is selected from the table; then, a reference command matching the configuration change command in which an error occurred is searched on the second network device, and the original command is attempted to be corrected with the reference command; if an error is still reported after the correction, a third network device of the same brand but different model and with the highest weight is selected instead, and the configuration change command is attempted to be found and corrected again. This method successfully solves the problem of being unable to automatically correct configuration change commands through intelligent search and reference command matching, thereby achieving automatic detection and rapid correction of configuration command errors, and significantly improving the accuracy and execution efficiency of network configuration changes.
