[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0023] The method embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device. Taking running on a mobile terminal as an example, Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a hardware structure block diagram of a mobile terminal of a method for batch network configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the mobile terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the figure) a processor 102 (the processor 102 may include but is not limited to a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA) and a memory 104 for storing data, wherein the mobile terminal may also include a transmission device 106 and an input / output device 108 for communication functions. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 1 The structure shown is only for illustration and does not limit the structure of the mobile terminal. Figure 1 More or fewer components as shown, or with Figure 1 Different configurations shown.

[0024] The memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, for example, software programs and modules of application software, such as the computer program corresponding to the method of batch network configuration in the embodiment of the present invention. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, that is, to implement the above method. The memory 104 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some examples, the memory 104 may further include a memory remotely arranged relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories can be connected to the mobile terminal via a network. Examples of the above-mentioned network include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0025] The transmission device 106 is used to receive or send data via a network. The specific example of the above network may include a wireless network provided by a communication provider of the mobile terminal. In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a network adapter (Network Interface Controller, referred to as NIC), which can be connected to other network devices through a base station so as to communicate with the Internet. In one example, the transmission device 106 can be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0026] In this embodiment, a method running on the above mobile terminal or network architecture is provided. Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for batch network configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0027] Step S202, obtaining version information of each device in the device set;

[0028] The above version information can be the fingerprint feature of the device, which is used to identify the model and manufacturer of the device, etc., to help users and technical support personnel better understand the configuration and performance of the device; the version information can be used to obtain the model, manufacturer, brand name, manufacturer identification code and other information of the device, so as to determine the configuration file of the device based on this information and better manage and maintain the device.

[0029] Optionally, obtaining version information of each device in a device set includes: sending query instructions in a query instruction set to a target device in sequence, wherein the target device is any device in the device set; when the target device responds to the i-th query instruction, obtaining the version information of the target device from a response message of the target device to the i-th query instruction, wherein i is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0030] The above-mentioned device set can be a set of devices that need to be network configured, and the device set can include one device or multiple devices, wherein the target device can be any device in the device set; the above-mentioned query instruction can be an instruction for querying device version information, and the query instruction can be a version query instruction such as show version and display version; based on the query instructions in the preset query instruction set, the system sends different query instructions to the target device in sequence, such as query instruction 1, query instruction 2, query instruction 3, etc., and obtains the version information of the target device when the target device responds to the query instruction. For example, if query instruction 1 is sent to the target device and the target device does not respond, query instruction 2 is continued to be sent to the target device. At this time, the target device responds to query instruction 2, and the version information of the target device is obtained from the information returned by the target device in response to query instruction 2.

[0031] Through the built-in query instruction set, the version information of the target device is obtained using the instructions in the query instruction set. There is no need for the user to pre-embed a large amount of initialization data in advance, such as device manufacturer, product type, model, version number and other data. This minimizes the workload of information initialization and reduces manual intervention. It changes the logic of traditional automation tools that rely on pre-embedded data for device adaptation, greatly reduces the workload of data initialization and continuous data maintenance, and realizes a broader automation.

[0032] Step S204, determining the configuration file of each device in the configuration file set according to the version information of each device, and obtaining a configuration file subset;

[0033] The above configuration file can be a text file used to specify the parameters and settings of the device to ensure that the device can run correctly and perform specific functions. The configuration file can be used to set and update the parameters of the device; based on the version information, the brand or manufacturer of the target device can be determined, so that according to the brand or manufacturer of the target device, the configuration file of the target device can be determined from multiple preset configuration files, and the selected configuration file can be used to configure the network of the target device. This eliminates the need to deploy different network platform products for devices from different manufacturers, and solves the problem of deploying multiple platform products for a single function due to the difficulty in unifying the brands and models of medium and large network devices. It has low resource usage, low deployment costs, no additional operation and maintenance costs, and good compatibility with products from the same manufacturer, and high adaptability to products from different manufacturers. At the same time, there are no special requirements for the basic operating environment, and general terminal hardware can meet the deployment requirements, further reducing operation and maintenance costs.

[0034] Specifically, according to the version information of the target device, a target path of the target device is determined in the target mapping relationship, wherein the target device is any device in the device set; and according to the target path, a target configuration file of the target device is obtained.

[0035] The target mapping relationship may be a text recording the relationship between the target device, the configuration file and the storage path of the configuration file. The target mapping relationship may be as shown in Table 1 below. Through the target mapping relationship, the configuration file corresponding to the target device may be determined and obtained.

[0036] Table 1

[0037] brand Version Query Fingerprint characteristics Script Files Storage path AA show version aa aa_cmd D1 BB show version bb bb_cmd D2 CC display version cc cc_cmd D3 DD display version dd dd_cmd D4 EE show version ee ee_cmd D5

[0038] Optionally, before determining the target path of the target device in the target mapping relationship, the method further includes: acquiring the target configuration file and the target path; and establishing a target mapping relationship between the target configuration file, the target path and the version information of the target device.

[0039] Step S206: Perform network configuration on each of the devices in the device set by using the configuration file subset.

[0040] Optionally, the executor of the above steps may be a background processor, or other devices with similar processing capabilities, or a machine that integrates at least an image acquisition device and a data processing device, wherein the image acquisition device may include a graphics acquisition module such as a camera, and the data processing device may include a computer, a mobile phone or other terminal, but is not limited thereto.

[0041] Through the above steps, the version information of each device in the device set is obtained; according to the version information of each device, the configuration file of each device is determined in the configuration file set to obtain a configuration file subset; and the network configuration is performed on each device in the device set through the configuration file subset. The problem of high network configuration cost in the related art is solved and the network configuration cost is reduced.

[0042] As an optional implementation, before obtaining the version information of each device in the device set, the method also includes: receiving network information of the target device and verifying the network information; if the verification passes, performing the login operation on the target device through the network information, wherein the target device is any device in the device set.

[0043] The above-mentioned device set can be a set of devices that need to be network configured, which can include one device or multiple devices, wherein the target device can be any device in the device set; the above-mentioned network information can be information for logging into the target device, such as the IP address of the device, the account number of the device, the login password, etc.

[0044] The system collects the IP address, login account and password of each device in the device set, and verifies the collected information. If the verification is passed, the system performs batch login operations on multiple devices (i.e., multi-threaded login) based on the collected IP addresses, login accounts, passwords, etc. of the devices. The thread scheduling logic can divide the number of login device IPs into equal parts according to the number of threads and round them up for execution. The specific number of threads can be set according to actual conditions to improve the efficiency of device login. After the thread task is determined, the device login is automatically executed through the SSH remote login protocol. In case of login access exceptions, unsupported device types, etc., the interface will feedback error information and record log files to facilitate result backtracking, and jump to execute login tasks for subsequent devices.

[0045] As an optional implementation, verifying the network information includes: if the network information includes a network address and account information, and the network address and the account information are complete, determining that the verification is successful; otherwise, reacquiring the network address and the account information.

[0046] It should be noted that, in the case where the login user password for each device is different, it is necessary to enter the device's IP address, login account and password. The specific entry format can be "IP address, user name (login account), password", so as to fully consider the actual situation of the user's network, reuse existing accounts, and achieve "zero intrusion" of device configuration; in the case where all devices use a unified user password, you only need to enter the login IP address (omit the account), thereby minimizing the workload of information initialization and unifying users for operation and maintenance audits; if the above two situations are used at the same time, you can give priority to entering the device's IP address, login account and password. For devices whose login account and password are not entered during the entry process, the default account is used to perform login.

[0047] As an optional implementation, the system can also record the full amount of log information output by the device and automatically archive it to a specified directory after the configuration file is sent to the corresponding device, thereby achieving effective supervision and behavior backtracking of the execution behavior.

[0048] As an optional implementation, Figure 3 is a flow chart of a device network configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the specific process is as follows:

[0049] Step S301, enter the device IP address, device login account, login password and device configuration file according to the prompts through the human-computer interaction interface, and distinguish the path of the configuration file according to the device type (i.e. version information). In the case where the login user password of each device is different, it is necessary to enter the device IP address, login account and password. The specific entry format can be "IP address, user name (login account), password"; for the case where all devices use a unified user password, only the login IP address can be entered (default account); if the above two situations are used at the same time, the method of entering the device IP address, login account and password can be used first. For devices where the device login account and password are not entered during the entry process, the default account is used to perform login.

[0050] Step S302, identify and judge the input conditions (ie, network information and configuration files), such as whether the IP address and configuration files exist or are empty; if they do not exist, complete the relevant information and initialize the entry.

[0051] Step S303, determine the thread task, wherein the number of threads can be specified by oneself to improve the execution efficiency. The thread arrangement logic is to divide the number of login device IPs into equal parts according to the number of threads and execute them in integers. After the thread task is determined, the device login is automatically executed through the SSH remote login protocol. In case of login access exceptions, unsupported device types, etc., the interface will feedback error information and record log files for easy result backtracking, and jump to execute the login tasks of subsequent devices.

[0052] Step S304, after completing the device login, enter the device type (i.e. version information) identification link. By adopting anthropomorphic logic for identification, that is, simulating the judgment and operation logic performed by an experienced network administrator when logging into an unknown device, try to cyclically send known different version query instructions (and query instructions) to each device in the device set, and call the corresponding configuration file to send it to the device for execution according to the returned version information; if the response information does not match the version information of the current device, then cyclically send the subsequent query instructions until the matching version information is found. In principle, all adapted products can obtain the correct fingerprint return value. For example, query instruction 1, query instruction 2, query instruction 3, etc., and obtain the version information of the target device when the target device responds to the query instruction. For example, if query instruction 1 is sent to the target device and the target device does not respond, query instruction 2 is continued to be sent to the target device. At this time, the target device responds to query instruction 2, then the version information of the target device is obtained from the information returned by the target device in response to query instruction 2, and the corresponding configuration file is called and sent to the target device.

[0053] Step S305: After the configuration file is sent to the device, the device outputs the full log information and automatically archives it to the specified directory, thereby achieving effective supervision and behavior backtracking of the execution behavior.
