[0063] The specific embodiments of the present application have been shown in the above figures, and will be described in more detail hereinafter. These figures and the written description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application concept in any way, but to illustrate the present application concept to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0064] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. In the following description, the same numbers are used to indicate the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not meant to represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0065] It should be noted that the network device configuration method, device, equipment, medium and product provided by the present 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. The application of the network device configuration method, device, equipment, medium and product provided by the present application is not limited.

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

[0067] In the prior art, when the configuration of the network device needs to be changed, the network change personnel must perform command configuration operation on the network device, and then it can be known whether the network device is changed successfully.

[0068] However, such direct command change operation on the network device may cause problems in the configuration of the network device due to incorrect commands, thereby affecting the connectivity and stability of the network device.

[0069] To solve the above problems, the network device configuration method provided in the application is provided. The method first creates a copy of the configuration file of the network device, and executes the configuration change command on the copy. If the configuration change command does not report an error, it is verified whether it takes effect; 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 with the executed change command is synchronized to the configuration file of the original network device according to the set timing time. The method creates a copy of the network device and automatically corrects the incorrect configuration change command, avoiding the risks that may be caused by directly executing the configuration change command on the original configuration file, thereby ensuring the connectivity and stability of the network device, and thus providing strong protection for the stable operation of the network device.

[0070] The technical solutions of the application and how the technical solutions solve the above technical problems will be 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 described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of the application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0071] Figure 1 Flowchart of the network device configuration method provided in the application Figure 1 The method is applied to a first network device. As shown in Figure 1 , the method comprises:

[0072] S101, creating a copy of the configuration file of the first network device.

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

[0074] The first network device includes but is not limited to a router, a switch, and a router-switch integrated machine.

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

[0076] It can be understood that when the network change personnel needs 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 of the network device needs to be created. In this way, the network change personnel can update and test the copy without directly modifying the original configuration file. This way can effectively prevent the configuration file from being damaged or incorrect due to operation 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 MP2900-14 routing switch. It is known that the network change personnel currently needs to update the startup configuration file of the MP2900-14 routing switch. Then, based on the above information, the network change personnel will first log in to the operating system corresponding to the MP2900-14 routing switch, and 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 copy, verify whether the configuration change command takes effect in the case that the configuration change command does not report an error, find a reference command matched with the configuration change command in the case that the configuration change command reports an error, correct the configuration change command based on the found reference command, and repeat the present step.

[0079] The case that the configuration change command does not report an error includes but is not limited to: the command format does not have an error, the parameters do not have a mismatch, or the syntax does not have an error.

[0080] The purpose of the present step is to execute the change command on the copy of the configuration file without affecting the original configuration file, and to verify whether the changes take effect as expected.

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

[0082] For example, assume that the network changer inputs a configuration change command "mac-address static AAAA.AAAA.AAAA vlan 100 interface FastEthernet0 / 33" and a verification command "ping 192.168.168.168" on the operating system of the MP2900-14 integrated routing switch corresponding to the configuration that needs to be updated. The operating system will then perform error checking on the configuration change command through its built-in instruction detection mechanism. If the command is correct, the network changer will verify whether the configuration change command has been accepted by the first network device and takes effect through the verification command. If the configuration change command is detected to have errors, the operating system will automatically correct the configuration change command, and the corrected command will be input again for execution and verification until the configuration change command can be executed correctly and takes effect.

[0083] Optionally, the application provides an implementation manner for finding a reference command matched with the configuration change command and correcting the configuration change command based on the found reference command, which comprises:

[0084] Firstly, fixed words in the configuration change command are determined, and a reference command matched with the fixed words is found.

[0085] The purpose of determining the fixed words in the configuration change command is to screen out words that are consistent in syntax format, word segmentation format, and have no errors in content from the configuration change command.

[0086] The purpose of finding the reference command matched with the fixed words is to find a command that can correct the erroneous configuration change command.

[0087] Secondly, reference words matched with error words in the configuration change command are determined from the reference command, and the error words in the configuration change command are corrected to the reference words.

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

[0089] In this step, the reference words matched with the error words in the configuration change command are first found from the reference command, and then, when the matched reference words are found, the operating system will immediately replace the error words in the configuration change command with the correct reference words.

[0090] S103, in the case where the verification command takes effect, the copy after the configuration change command is executed on the copy is synchronized to the configuration file of the first network device according to the timing time.

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

[0092] The timing time can be immediate, a specific future time point, or determined based on a periodic event (e.g., a certain fixed time every day). The present application does not make special limitations on this.

[0093] The purpose of this step is to ensure that the changes are synchronized to the configuration file of the first network device according to the predetermined timing time on the basis of verifying that the configuration change command has taken effect.

[0094] It can be understood that synchronizing the copy that has been verified and taken effect to the configuration file of the first network device according to the preset timing time not only ensures that the configuration change 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 change, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the first network device.

[0095] For example, assuming that the configuration change command is "mac-address static 0000.5E00.01A5 vlan 100 interface FastEthernet0 / 33". It is known that the timing time set by the network change personnel is 10 pm. Then when it is set to 10 pm, the operating system will automatically trigger the synchronization operation to synchronize the copy containing the configuration change command after taking effect to the original configuration file of the MP2900-14 router switch integrated machine.

[0096] Optionally, after synchronizing the copy after executing the configuration change command for the copy to the configuration file of the first network device according to the timing time, the present application will also automatically delete the copy that has executed the change operation in order to save storage space and avoid potential configuration confusion.

[0097] The method for configuring network equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application first creates a copy of the configuration file of the first network equipment, and then executes the configuration change command on the copy. If the configuration change command is executed without error, it is further verified whether it takes effect; if the configuration change command encounters an error, the matching reference command is automatically searched for correction, and the process is repeated until there is no error. Once it is confirmed that the configuration change takes effect, the updated copy is synchronized to the original configuration file according to the preset timing strategy, so as to complete the configuration update. The method effectively solves the network equipment configuration problem caused by the error of the configuration command, avoids the decline of network connectivity and stability caused by the error of the command, realizes the accurate and safe change of the network equipment configuration, and significantly improves the efficiency and reliability of network management. In addition, the method provides great flexibility for network change personnel by creating a copy of the configuration file, so that they can change the configuration of the network equipment at any time, thereby improving the work efficiency of the network change personnel.

[0098] Figure 2 Flowchart of the method for configuring network equipment provided by the present application Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 the embodiment, the method for configuring network equipment is described in detail on the basis of the embodiment, and the method comprises the following steps. Figure 1

[0099] S201, a copy of the configuration file of the first network equipment is created.

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

[0101] S202, a configuration change command for the copy is executed.

[0102] The explanation of step S202 is described in the explanation of the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0103] S203, if the configuration change command is not reported as an error, it is verified whether the configuration change command takes effect.

[0104] The explanation of step S203 is described in the explanation of the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0105] S204, if the configuration change command is reported as an error, the reference command matching the configuration change command is searched on the first network equipment, and the configuration change command is corrected based on the reference command found on the first network equipment.

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

[0107] ​The purpose of this step is to find a reference command matching the incorrect configuration change command in the first network device, and to automatically correct the incorrect configuration change command by the reference command.

[0108] It can be understood that when the operating system determines that the configuration change command input by the network change personnel is incorrect, the operating system first searches in the first network device to find a reference command matching the incorrect configuration change command. When the operating system finds a reference command that can correct the incorrect configuration change command in the first network device, the operating system automatically corrects the incorrect configuration change command. Then, when the operating system corrects the incorrect configuration change command, the operating system also checks whether the corrected configuration change command is error. Finally, when the operating system determines that the corrected configuration change command does not have an error, the operating system verifies whether the corrected configuration change command takes effect by executing a verification command.

[0109] For example, assuming that 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 routing switch machine has an error at fastethennet0 / 33, the operating system corresponding to the MP2900-14 routing switch machine first searches in the routing switch machine. Then, 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 interface FastEthennet0 / 33" in the routing switch machine, the operating system replaces "fastethennet0 / 33" with "fastethernet0 / 33" and generates the corrected configuration change command "mac-address static AAAA.AAAA.AAAA vlan 100 interface fastethernet0 / 33". Then, the operating system also checks whether the corrected configuration change command has an error. Finally, when the operating system determines that the corrected configuration change command does not have an error, the operating system verifies whether the corrected configuration change command takes effect by executing a verification command.

[0110] S205, in the case of modifying the configuration change command based on the reference command found on the first network device, and re-executing the error report of the configuration change command for the copy, finding the reference command matching the configuration change command from other network devices except the first network device, and modifying the configuration change command based on the reference command found from the other network devices.

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

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

[0113] It can be understood that after the operating system modifies the configuration change command based on the reference command found on the first network device, if the modified configuration change command still reports an error when re-executed, the operating system will find the reference command matching the erroneous configuration change command from other network devices except the first network device.

[0114] S206, in the case of verifying the effectiveness of the configuration change command, receiving a configuration change review confirmation instruction and a change execution reservation instruction, the configuration change review confirmation instruction is used to indicate that the configuration change command for the copy is executed and verified to pass the review, and the change execution reservation instruction is used to indicate a timing time.

[0115] By receiving the configuration change review confirmation instruction, it can be ensured that the configuration change command for the copy has passed strict execution and verification review, and it is 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 performed within the predetermined time, and avoids unnecessary interference to the 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 the confirmation instruction, the network change personnel will carefully check and send a change review confirmation instruction to the operating system to indicate the approval of the configuration change command after confirming that there is no error. At the same time, the network change personnel will also send a change execution reservation instruction to specify a suitable time point for the execution of 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 change of the configuration of the first network device according to the timing time in the change execution preset instruction.

[0118] S207: Synchronize the replica after executing the configuration change command on the replica 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 and will not be repeated here.

[0120] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for configuring a network device, which 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 its effectiveness is performed; if an error is encountered, a matching reference command is first searched for locally on the first network device for correction. If an error is still reported after the local correction, a reference command is further searched for 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 network device configuration problems caused by configuration command errors, thereby avoiding negative impacts on the connectivity and stability of network devices, and further improving the accuracy and security of configuration changes, 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 2 As shown, this embodiment Figure 4 Based on the embodiment, a detailed description is given of an implementation process of searching for a reference command matching a configuration change command on other network devices other than the first network device. 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 represent the degree of compatibility between the other network devices and the first network device. A higher weight indicates a higher degree of compatibility between the other network devices and the first network device. Conversely, a lower weight indicates a lower degree of compatibility 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 the related information of other network devices except the first network device, which includes the brand, model of the other network devices and the matching degree (represented by the weight) with the first network device, so as to better modify the configuration change command of the first network device.

[0126] Optionally, in the case that the operating system determines that the reference command found on the first network device cannot successfully modify the configuration change command, and the re-executed configuration change command for the copy still reports an error, the operating system will create a network retrieval table of the first network device in advance. The specific process is as follows: first, the operating system obtains a routing information table (as shown in Table 1), which includes: a plurality of other network devices, and the brand, model and node position of each other network device; then, the operating system determines the weight of each other network device according to the brand, model and node position of the first network device and the routing table information; finally, the operating system generates a network retrieval table of the first network device according to the brand, model and weight of each other network device.

[0127] Among them, the operating system will record the weight of other network devices with the same brand and model as 1, the weight of other network devices with the same brand and different models as 2, and the weight of other network devices with different brands and different 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 retrieval table of the first network device, the operating system will further obtain a network device topology diagram (as shown in Table 1) in order to comprehensively evaluate the brand, model and node position of each network device according to the topology diagram, thereby generating the network retrieval table of the first network device.

[0129] For example, assuming that the first network device is an MP2900-14 routing switch integrated machine, its brand is MP, model is 2900, and node position is B2. Based on this information, the operating system will generate a network retrieval table (as shown in Table 1), which lists the related information of other devices in the network. In this network retrieval 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, determining a second network device with the highest weight from the network device retrieval table and the same brand and model as the first network device.

[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 retrieval table.

[0134] It can be understood that first, network devices of the same brand and model usually have high consistency in design, function and compatibility, which makes it easier and more efficient for configuration migration, troubleshooting and performance optimization between them.

[0135] Second, weight is an important indicator for evaluating the matching degree of network devices, and its high and low directly reflects the matching degree of other network devices with the first network device. The higher the weight, the higher the matching degree of other network devices with the first network device; on the contrary, the lower the weight, the worse the matching degree.

[0136] Therefore, by filtering out the network device with the same brand and model and the highest weight from the network device retrieval table as the second network device, a highly similar second network device can be found.

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

[0138] S303, finding a reference command matching the configuration change command from the second network device.

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

[0140] It can be understood that the same brand and model usually means that two network devices follow the same design specification, use similar hardware configuration and have the same software version or function set built-in when manufactured. This consistency makes the same brand and model devices have high similarity and compatibility in command configuration.

[0141] Therefore, when a second network device highly similar to the first network device is found, the second network device can be taken as a query factor, and a command capable of correcting the incorrect configuration change command is found from the second network device, so as to correct the incorrect configuration change command according to the command.

[0142] In this step, for example, the network device configuration command of the second network device can be acquired first, and then a reference command matching the configuration change command is found from the network device configuration command.

[0143] S304、In the case that the configuration change command is corrected based on the reference command found from the second network device, and the error of the configuration change command for the copy is executed again, a third network device of the same brand but different model and with the highest weight is determined from the network device retrieval table.

[0144] When the 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, a third network device of the same brand but different model and with the highest weight is determined from the network device retrieval table as a reference.

[0145] It can be understood that, first, network devices of the same brand usually have high similarity and compatibility in underlying technology, configuration command set and syntax, etc. Such similarity can enable the operating system to obtain useful solutions from network devices of the same brand.

[0146] Secondly, network devices of different models often have unique hardware configurations, software versions or function sets, which provide the operating system with more abundant choices and possibilities.

[0147] In addition, the weight, as an important indicator for evaluating the matching degree of network devices, directly reflects the matching degree of other network devices with the first network device. The higher the weight, the higher the matching degree of other network devices with the first network device; on the contrary, the lower the weight, the lower the matching degree of other network devices with the first network device.

[0148] Therefore, when the operating system determines that the 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 filter a network device of the same brand but different model and with the highest weight from the network device retrieval table, and take it as a third network device for further reference.

[0149] S305、A reference command matching the configuration change command is found from the third network device.

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

[0151] It can be understood that the network devices of the same brand but different models means that they have high similarity and compatibility in underlying technology, configuration command set and syntax, although they can be different in hardware configuration, software version or function set. The similarity enables the operating system to easily obtain useful solutions from the network devices of the same brand but different models.

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

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

[0154] Optionally, when the configuration change command is corrected based on the reference command found from the third network device, and the configuration change command for the copy is executed again, if an error still occurs, the operating system automatically sends a command failure information to the network change personnel. The information aims to inform the network change personnel that the configuration change command input by them is incorrect, and the automatic correction attempted by the system is not successful. Through the feedback mechanism, the network change personnel can know the command execution situation in time and take corresponding measures to further correct the error.

[0155] The method provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps: obtaining a network device search table comprising a plurality of other network devices and brand, model and weight information of the network devices; selecting a second network device of the same brand and the same model and with the highest weight from the table; searching a reference command matching an incorrect configuration change command from the second network device, and attempting to correct the original command by using the reference command; and if an error still occurs after correction, selecting a third network device of the same brand but different model and with the highest weight, and attempting to search and correct the configuration change command again. The method successfully solves the problem of being unable to automatically correct the configuration change command by intelligent searching and reference command matching, thereby realizing automatic detection and rapid correction of configuration command errors, and significantly improving the accuracy and execution efficiency of network configuration change.
