[0067] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device shown in this application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0068] In view of the problems existing in the related technology of great waste of human resources, long time consumption and low configuration efficiency, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic configuration method for a device, which is applied to a network management device included in a selected network, and the network management device is communicatively connected with each network device included in the selected network.

[0069] The selected network can be, but is not limited to, a minimalist optical network. As the focus of the network center shifts to business, the management and maintenance of a large number of access / aggregation switches has become a burden for network administrators. Therefore, we began to learn from operators and proposed a flat network construction plan, namely a minimalist optical network, as the market changes. From the network implementation level, the biggest change brought by minimalist optical is that the original [weak-current box access switch pulls the network cable to the indoor] has changed to [pulling the optical fiber from the machine room (building / floor switch) to the indoor switch, and then leading out the indoor network cable], referred to as light into the room. After light enters the room, the number of indoor switches will increase significantly, usually 3 to 6 times the number of traditional weak-current room access switches. Taking 1,000 indoor information points as an example, if a 24-port switch is installed in the weak-current room, 40 units are required; if an 8-port Aurora switch is installed indoors, 125 units are required, a significant increase in number. As the number of indoor Aurora switches continues to increase, the probability of equipment failure increases. When a device fails, the administrator needs to replace the old device with a new one and then configure the new device, which greatly wastes human resources, takes a long time, and has low configuration efficiency.

[0070] Based on the above problems, a device automatic configuration method is proposed. The process of this method is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the execution steps are as follows:

[0071] S11: Obtaining interconnection information of selected devices, and updating the obtained interconnection information of selected devices into the network topology map.

[0072] The selected device connection information includes interconnection information of ports of at least two devices, and the at least two devices include a network device. The network device may include at least one of the following: a second network device, a third network device, and a fourth network device.

[0073] Based on the communication connection between the network device (which may refer to the network device in the selected network) and the network management device, the manner of obtaining the interconnection information of the selected device may include the following three methods:

[0074] In the first way, after receiving a CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP) keep-alive message sent by the second network device, the device interconnection information of each uplink port of the second network device carried in the CWMP keep-alive message is obtained to obtain the selected device interconnection information.

[0075] The network device will periodically send CWMP keep-alive messages to the network management device. The keep-alive messages contain device interconnection information of the uplink port of the network device, which may specifically be the media access control (Simple Network Management Protocol, MAC) address and port of the connected device.

[0076] The second method is to receive a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Trap message sent by a third network device, obtain the device interconnection information of each downlink port of the third network device carried in the SNMP Trap message, and obtain the selected device interconnection information.

[0077] SNMP is a standard protocol designed specifically for managing network devices such as servers, workstations, routers, switches, etc. on Internet Protocol (IP) networks. It is an application layer protocol. After a network device learns a MAC address from a downlink port, it will send an SNMP Trap message to the network management device. The SNMP Trap message carries the learned MAC address, which may include the terminal's MAC address and port.

[0078] The third method is to obtain a neighbor table of the fourth network device to obtain interconnection information of the selected device.

[0079] Network devices can, but are not limited to, broadcast their own MAC addresses and ports through the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to facilitate the discovery of their neighbors and establish a neighbor table. Network management devices can periodically obtain the neighbor table of network devices to update their own network topology.

[0080] The network device may further include a first network device. It should be noted that the second network device, the third network device, and the fourth network device may be the same as or different from the first network device.

[0081] S12: Determine whether a port of a network device is connected to ports of two devices, the network device comprising a first network device having a first port disposed thereon.

[0082] Since the network topology diagram is updated in S11, there may be a situation where one port of a network device is connected to two devices. This may be caused by replacing a device due to a failure. Therefore, it needs to be checked.

[0083] S13: If it is determined that two devices are connected to the first port of the first network device, the device configuration information of the first device that is first updated to the network topology map among the two devices connected to the first port is sent to the second device that is later updated to the network topology map, so that the second device is configured according to the device configuration information of the first device, wherein the two devices include a first device and a second device, the first device is connected to the first network device through the first port, and the second device is a device that replaces the first device.

[0084] If it is determined that the first port of the first network device is connected to the ports of two devices, it can be determined that the first device that was updated first to the network topology map among the two devices connected to the first port is replaced by the second device that was updated later to the network topology map. Since the network management device will save the device configuration information of each device in the network topology map, the device configuration information of the first device can be sent to the second device at this time, and the second device is configured according to the device configuration information of the first device, thereby realizing automatic configuration of the replaced device.

[0085] It should be noted that the first device is connected to the first network device through the first port, and the first device is replaced by the second device in the network topology diagram, and the replaced second device is also connected to the first network device through the first port, that is, the first device first connected to the first network device is replaced by the second device connected to the first network device later.

[0086] In this solution, after obtaining the interconnection information of the selected device, the network topology map can be updated first, and then the device can be configured based on the network topology map. The entire process can be completed without human participation, which can greatly save human resources, reduce time consumption, and improve configuration efficiency.

[0087] Optionally, if the first device is connected to at least one terminal, the method further includes:

[0088] Determine whether a port connected to the first device of at least one terminal is connected to ports of two devices, wherein the at least one terminal includes a first terminal, and the second port is provided on the first terminal;

[0089] If it is determined that the second port is connected to the third port of the first device and the fourth port of the second device, the port configuration information of the third port is sent to the second device, wherein the two devices include the first device and the second device, and the port configuration information is used by the second device to configure the fourth port.

[0090] The second device can be an access device in the selected network. The access device is generally connected to multiple terminals, such as printers, projectors, cameras, etc. After the second device replaces the first device, the network cable of the second device may be blindly plugged. For example, before the replacement, the first terminal is connected to the Gi 0 / 1 port of the first device, and after the replacement, the first terminal is connected to the Gi 0 / 2 port of the second device, resulting in the first terminal not matching the port service after connecting to the second device, which ultimately affects the normal use of the first terminal.

[0091] At this time, it is necessary to further determine whether each port connected to the first device by at least one terminal is connected to the ports of the two devices. If it is determined that the second port set on the first terminal has been connected to the third port of the first device and the fourth port of the second device, it means that the first terminal has migrated from the third port to the fourth port. At this time, the port configuration information of the third port can be sent to the second device, so that the second device configures the fourth port according to the port configuration information. In this way, the port where the connected terminal has migrated can be automatically configured.

[0092] Optionally, the above method includes:

[0093] Deleting the interconnection information between the first port of the first network device and the first device;

[0094] The interconnection information between the second port of the first terminal and the third port of the first device is deleted.

[0095] After completing the configuration of the above-mentioned replaced device and the configuration of the port where the terminal migrates, the interconnection information between the first port of the first network device and the first device, and the interconnection information between the second port of the first terminal and the third port of the first device, which are first updated to the network topology diagram, are useless information and can be directly deleted to ensure the accuracy of the network topology diagram.

[0096] The following example illustrates the automatic configuration method of the above device. Assume that before replacement, two terminals are connected to the network device SF-A, where terminal 1 is connected to the Gi0 / 1 port and terminal 2 is connected to the Gi0 / 3 port.

[0097] The configuration of port 1 of SF-A is as follows:

[0098]

[0099] Port 3 of SF-A is configured as follows:

[0100]

[0101] SF-A notifies the MAC addresses and ports of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 to the network management device through SNMP Trap messages:

[0102] Announcement event 1:

[0103] 1. Terminal MAC address: 00:0e:c6:dd:de:ba

[0104] 2. Port: Gi0 / 1

[0105] 3. Action: Learning

[0106] Announcement event 2:

[0107] 1. Terminal MAC address: 00:0e:c6:dd:de:b6

[0108] 2. Port: Gi0 / 3

[0109] 3. Action: Learning

[0110] The network management device will update the port interconnection relationship between SF-A and terminal 1 and terminal 2 into the network topology diagram.

[0111] If SF-A fails and is replaced by SF-B, terminal 1 is connected to the Gi0 / 4 port of SF-B, and terminal 2 is connected to the Gi0 / 6 port of SF-B. SF-B notifies the MAC addresses and ports of terminal 1 and terminal 2 to the network management device through SNMP Trap messages:

[0112] Announcement event 1:

[0113] 1. Terminal MAC address: 00:0e:c6:dd:de:ba

[0114] 2. Port: Gi0 / 4

[0115] 3. Action: Learning

[0116] Announcement event 2:

[0117] 1. Terminal MAC address: 00:0e:c6:dd:de:b6

[0118] 2. Port: Gi0 / 6

[0119] 3. Action: Learning

[0120] The network management device will update the port interconnection relationship between SF-B and terminal 1 and terminal 2 into the network topology diagram.

[0121] After troubleshooting, it was found that terminal 1 migrated from Gi0 / 1 to Gi0 / 4, and terminal 2 migrated from Gi0 / 3 to Gi0 / 6. Therefore, it was necessary to send the configuration information of Gi0 / 1 to Gi0 / 4, and the configuration information of Gi0 / 3 to Gi0 / 6. After SF-B adjusted the port configuration, it was as follows:

[0122]

[0123] The configuration of Gi0 / 1 and Gi0 / 3 of SF-B remains unchanged. When there are terminals connected later, if they are old terminals, the configuration migration is performed according to the above rules; if they are new terminals, the configuration remains unchanged and the original port configuration is retained.

[0124] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic configuration device for a device, which is applied to a network management device included in a selected network, and the network management device is communicatively connected with a network device in the selected network. The structure of the device is as follows Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0127] In this solution, when it is determined that the first port of the first network device is connected to two devices, the device configuration information of the first device that is first connected to the first network device among the two devices connected to the first port is sent to the second device that is later connected to the first network device, so that the second device can be directly configured according to the device configuration information of the first device to replace the faulty first device.
