[0020] All actions to obtain signals, information or data in this application are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where they are located, and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0021] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant invention, rather than to limit the invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the relevant invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0022] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a process 100 of an embodiment of a method for collecting switch configuration information according to the present application. The method for collecting switch configuration information can be applied to various electronic devices with data processing functions. For example, the above electronic devices may include but are not limited to cloud servers, physical servers, etc. The execution subject of the method for collecting switch configuration information may be a processor in the above electronic devices.

[0024] In this embodiment, the method for collecting switch configuration information can be applied to a seed machine, which can be deployed in a cloud network. Specifically, it can be deployed on a management node of a cloud network. In this embodiment and the following embodiments, the management node is a cloud computing management node as an example. When the seed machine is deployed on a cloud computing management node, the network convenience of the cloud computing management node can be used to enable the seed machine to be unimpededly connected to all switches in the cloud network.

[0025] Exemplarily, the seed machine may be created by a Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) module.

[0026] In this embodiment, the KVM module allows users to create and run multiple isolated virtual machine environments on the same physical machine (such as a cloud computing management node). Each virtual machine can run its own operating system and application programs without interfering with each other.

[0027] According to the functions of the KVM module described above, in this embodiment, the seed machine is specifically a virtual machine created and deployed on the cloud computing management node, which has the ability to communicate with any switch in the cloud network and automatically collect its configuration information.

[0028] In this embodiment, the network configuration toolkit can be obtained by the system from the delivery platform, wherein the system can be an operating system of a cloud computing management node, and the delivery platform can be an intensively deployed project delivery management platform.

[0029] Exemplarily, the system can obtain cloud network configuration information and device information from the delivery platform, and then process the cloud network configuration information and device information to generate data files such as device hardware information, server network planning, and switch network planning. Finally, the data files are packaged into a customized image of the seed machine to form a network configuration toolkit.

[0030] In this embodiment, the network toolkit includes relevant information of each switch, such as: a device name for identifying the switch, a login IP for remotely logging into the switch, a login account and password for identity authentication, the manufacturer of the switch, and the software version running on the switch.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for collecting switch configuration information includes the following steps:

[0032] Step 101: Use Ansiable technology to establish a communication connection with a target switch whose configuration information is to be collected.

[0033] In this embodiment, the triggering mode of step 101 may include two types:

[0034] One is to use Ansiable technology to establish a communication connection with the target switch whose configuration information is to be collected when a preset collection cycle arrives.

[0035] The other is to use Ansiable technology to establish a communication connection with the target switch whose configuration information is to be collected when a preset event is triggered.

[0036] Through the above two triggering methods, the seed machine can periodically or event-triggeredly automatically start the switch configuration information collection process, thereby improving the degree of automation and meeting the switch configuration information collection needs in different scenarios.

[0037] Of course, the above two triggering methods are only specific examples. In actual use, step 101 can also be triggered to execute in other ways, and each case will not be described here one by one.

[0038] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, step 101 may include:

[0039] Step 201: decompress the network configuration toolkit to obtain configuration information and device information.

[0040] In this embodiment, step 201 can export a network configuration toolkit from the customized image of the seed machine, and decompress it to obtain configuration information and device information.

[0041] Step 202: Using the Secure Shell (SSH) and / or Telecommunication Network Protocol (Telnet) in Ansiable technology, remotely log in to the target switch for which configuration information is to be collected according to the configuration information and device information.

[0042] In this embodiment, Ansiable technology is a configuration management, application deployment, task execution and multi-node orchestration tool that can communicate with a remote host through the SSH protocol without installing any software or agent on the remote host. Exemplarily, the remote host is a switch.

[0043] In this embodiment, SSH is an encrypted protocol that can provide secure data transmission. It uses technologies such as public key encryption and key exchange to ensure that data is encrypted during transmission, thereby protecting user privacy and data security.

[0044] In this embodiment, Telnet is a plain text protocol, and all data is transmitted in plain text. It only supports identity authentication based on user name and password, and the data transmitted is plain text.

[0045] In summary, when remotely logging into the target switch in step 202, either SSH or Telnet can be used.

[0046] Exemplarily, step 202 may use the above-mentioned login IP for remote login to the switch and the login account password for identity authentication to perform remote login.

[0047] Step 203: When the remote login is successful, the interactive environment of the target switch is activated, and a communication connection with the target switch is established.

[0048] Optionally, in this embodiment, step 203 may also include a step of recording relevant information of the target switch and the reason for the login failure when the remote login fails, so as to facilitate subsequent analysis and processing.

[0049] Step 102: Obtain a configuration command list corresponding to the target switch, and automatically obtain configuration information of the target switch through the communication connection established in step 101 according to the configuration command list.

[0050] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the method for generating a configuration command list may include:

[0051] Step 301: Encapsulate the command line interface (CLI) command and the network configuration protocol (Netconf) command of the target switch into an atomic script using a jinja2 template.

[0052] In this embodiment, the seed machine may have built-in CLI commands and Netconf commands of switches of various brands and models. Step 302 may obtain corresponding CLI commands and Netconf commands according to device information of the target switch.

[0053] In this embodiment, the CLI command is a text-based user interface, and the user operates the system by inputting instructions through the keyboard.

[0054] In this embodiment, the Netconf command is a network configuration tool that can help users manage and configure network connections and interfaces in a Linux system. Through the netconf command, users can easily view and modify network configurations to meet the needs of different network environments.

[0055] Step 302: According to the configuration information collection requirements of the target switch, use the atomic command orchestration engine to orchestrate the atomic script into a configuration acquisition template to generate a configuration command list.

[0056] In this embodiment, an atomic command orchestration engine can be written in advance for the atomic script above. Step 302 can use the atomic command orchestration engine to generate a configuration command list on the seed machine according to the different quantities, types, and sequences of the required configurations, thereby achieving automation and flexibility in on-site configuration collection.

[0057] For example, if only the interface description configuration, VLAN name configuration, ISIS neighbor status, and ISIS routing status configuration need to be collected, the atomic command arrangement engine can be used to arrange the above four atomic commands in a specific order to generate a configuration command list in step 302. When the seed machine performs the configuration information collection operation later, it will follow the arrangement principle to obtain the corresponding configuration or status information.

[0058] For example, Figure 4 As shown, step 102 of automatically acquiring configuration information of the target switch according to the configuration command list may include:

[0059] Step 401: Send the configuration commands in the configuration command list to the target switch one by one.

[0060] Step 402: Receive the echo information returned by the target switch.

[0061] Step 403: parse the echo information to obtain the echo content.

[0062] In this embodiment, step 403 may parse the echoed content according to the character encoding predefined by the target switch manufacturer.

[0063] Step 404: Use regular expressions to match the echo content and collect information of each configuration item.

[0064] In this embodiment, the information of the configuration item includes but is not limited to:

[0065] 1. Interface configuration information

[0066] The interface configuration information may include, but is not limited to: aggregate interface information, physical interface information, routing aggregate interface information, and tunnel interface information.

[0067] 2. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) configuration information OSPF configuration information may include but is not limited to: router ID and silent interface, etc. OSPF configuration information can implement routing selection and forwarding within an autonomous system (such as a cloud network).

[0068] 3. Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) configuration information

[0069] The configuration information of VRF may include but is not limited to: the name of VRF and the description of VRF, etc. The configuration information of VRF may realize the function of network isolation.

[0070] 4. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) configuration information

[0071] The configuration information of BGP may include, but is not limited to, the autonomous system (AS) number of BGP, the instance number, and some basic attribute configurations. The configuration information of BGP can ensure that BGP routers correctly exchange routing information.

[0072] 5. VLAN configuration information

[0073] The configuration information of the VLAN may include but is not limited to: VLAN ID, etc. The configuration information of the VLAN has the function of making the communication transmission between different VLANs independent of each other.

[0074] Step 405: Organize and classify the configuration items according to the configuration blocks they are in.

[0075] Step 406: Use regular expressions to match the content of the configuration block and collect parameters of the configuration block.

[0076] Step 407: Record the configuration block and the parameters of the configuration block corresponding to each configuration item to obtain the configuration information of the target switch.

[0077] In this embodiment, after the seed machine completes the configuration information collection of a target switch, it will record the configuration block and configuration parameter json file corresponding to each configuration item of the target switch to facilitate subsequent data processing and storage.

[0078] In this embodiment, the seed machine can traverse all switches in the cloud network and use the above Figure 1-4 The steps shown collect configuration information. After all switches in the cloud network that need to collect configuration information are completed, the switch configuration information collection method provided in the embodiment of the present application may also include a step of resetting the configuration of the seed machine.

[0079] By resetting the configuration of the seed machine, the seed machine can be reconfigured according to the latest network configuration toolkit each time configuration information is collected, thereby increasing the applicability and reliability of the switch configuration information collection method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0080] The switch configuration information collection method provided in the embodiment of the present application can establish a communication connection with the target switch of the configuration information to be collected by the Ansiable technology, so that the seed machine can automatically establish a communication connection with the target switch without human intervention, and because of the use of the Ansiable technology, the technical solution provided by this embodiment does not need to install any software or agent on the remotely set target switch, and the process of establishing a communication connection is simple and easy to implement; the process of collecting the configuration information of the target switch is automatically completed by the seed machine, and the seed machine itself does not belong to the network monitoring system, and is deployed in the cloud network, so that the seed machine can also establish a communication connection with the target switch normally when the cloud network is in the delivery link, and automatically collect its configuration information, and the automatic collection of configuration information has high efficiency and accuracy, which solves the problem that the existing technology needs to manually collect switch configuration information when the cloud network is in the delivery link, and the collection cost is high and the accuracy is low. In addition, since the seed machine is configured according to the network configuration toolkit of the cloud network, the seed machine has the same configuration as the cloud network environment, has the function of deploying and managing other network devices or services, and conveniently manages and monitors cloud network resources.
