Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of device configuration, and in particular to a configuration method and related devices. Background Art

[0002] In order to more conveniently manage system configuration items, existing configuration management tools include a Web user interface based on a Web UI and a command-line interface (CLI) based on a command line.

[0003] The currently popular Web UI-based management approach provides a RESTful API service for configuration management. Users operate through the Web UI, exchanging data in JSON / XML format with the RESTful API service under different operations. The RESTful API service then adds, deletes, modifies, and queries the system configuration based on the user's operations. In contrast, command-line-based management methods typically use built-in command-line tools, allowing users to more directly add, delete, modify, and query system configurations by manually entering command lines in the CLI.

[0004] In actual development scenarios, the system configuration will support both of the above management methods. However, these two management methods are implemented through independent code and are not compatible with each other. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] The embodiments of the present application provide a configuration method and related devices for uniformly processing target commands initiated by different front-end configuration tools to achieve compatibility with different front-end configuration tools.

[0045] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a configuration method, using a front-end device, including the following steps:

[0046] 101. In response to a target command input through a front-end configuration tool, obtain command input requirements associated with the target command from a configuration file and display command input indication information of the target command on the front-end configuration tool according to the command input requirements, and / or obtain a command result output method associated with the target command from the configuration file and display command result information of the target command on the front-end configuration tool according to the command result output method.

[0047] If the front-end device receives a target command input by the user through the front-end configuration tool deployed on the front-end device, it means that the user needs to initiate a corresponding operation through the target command. The target command may include but is not limited to a query command, a new command, and a delete command, etc. The front-end configuration tool may be a configuration tool based on a local command line, a configuration tool based on a remote command line, and / or a configuration tool based on a WebUI, etc. Specifically, the target command input through the front-end configuration tool can be Figure 2 The command control such as the new control or query control shown is initiated, or can be initiated through a command instruction such as a new instruction or query instruction.

[0048] Therefore, in response to a target command input through a front-end configuration tool, embodiments of the present application can parse a preset configuration file and obtain the command input requirements and / or command result output method associated with the target command from the configuration file, and perform subsequent processing based on the information. Generally, the configuration file can include at least one of the command input requirements and the command result output method. Furthermore, depending on the content of the configuration file, embodiments of the present application can perform different subsequent processing.

[0049] If the configuration file contains command input requirements associated with the target command, it means that the execution of the target command (or the confirmation of the target command) also depends on the configuration information input by the user. In order to guide the user to input accurate and standardized configuration information, the embodiment of the present application can display the command input instruction information of the target command in the front-end configuration tool according to the command input requirements. Specifically, the command input requirements indicate the specifications that the configuration information entered by the user should comply with when the target command needs to be executed. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can know the specifications that the configuration information entered by the user should comply with when executing the target command based on the command input requirements, and generate command input instruction information based on the aforementioned specifications to guide the user to input the configuration information by displaying the command input instruction information in the front-end configuration tool. In actual applications, when the target command is a newly added command, the configuration file contains command input requirements associated with the target command.

[0050] If the configuration file contains a command result output method associated with the target command, it means that the execution of the target command (or the confirmation of the target command) is to output the command result information, or it means that after the target command is executed, the command result information needs to be output, which is not limited here. On this basis, in order to adapt to the display schemes of different front-end configuration tools, the embodiment of the present application provides a command result output method to guide the front-end configuration tool to output the corresponding command result information according to the preset specifications. Among them, the command result output method indicates the fields and / or data formats required to be included in the command result information, which is not limited here. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can generate command result information that can be displayed in the front-end configuration tool according to the instructions of the command result output method to inform the user of the execution result of the target command. In actual applications, when the target command is a query command, the configuration file contains the command input requirements associated with the target command.

[0051] In the embodiments of the present application, regardless of which front-end configuration tool is used to initiate the target command, the command input requirements and / or command result output methods in the configuration file can be uniformly processed, thus achieving compatibility with different front-end configuration tools. Furthermore, command input guidance information is generated through the configuration file to guide the user through the configuration, making it more user-friendly.

[0052] In some specific implementations, in addition to directly recording the configuration fields that should be included in the configuration information that the user needs to input in the command input requirements, or even directly recording the value constraints that the configuration fields need to meet in the command input requirements, the command input requirements of the embodiment of the present application can also be any information that can instruct the front-end device to obtain the configuration fields and the value constraints of the configuration fields. See the following steps for details: Based on the command input requirements, search the configuration file for supported configuration fields and obtain the value constraints of each configuration field. The value constraints include at least one of the numerical type, value range, and input format; display each configuration field and the value constraints of each configuration field as command input indication information in the front-end configuration tool. Among them, the configuration field is the supported configuration item; the value constraint of the configuration field is the field value constraint of each configuration field input by the user; the numerical type includes but is not limited to numbers and strings.

[0053] Specifically, in addition to the command input requirements, the configuration file also includes the configuration fields supported by the target command and the value constraints of the configuration fields. Considering that different commands support different configuration fields and their value constraints, the embodiment of the present application needs to search the corresponding location in the configuration file for the configuration fields supported by the target command and their value constraints based on the command input requirements. After obtaining the configuration fields and their value constraints, they are displayed as command input indication information in the front-end configuration tool.

[0054] In actual applications, different device modules support different target commands, and the specific operations performed when the same target command is issued to different device modules may also be different. Therefore, embodiments of the present application can configure corresponding configuration files for different device modules. When a user enters a target command through the front-end configuration tool, this target command corresponds to a specific operation object, namely the target device module. The configuration file of the target device module can then be used to search for the configuration fields supported by the target command and their value constraints.

[0055] Taking the routing module as an example, if the target command is initiated for the routing module, the configuration fields supported by the target command, that is, the configuration fields supported by the target instruction in the routing module include Metric (metric value), prefix (prefix), Nexthop (next hop) and outif (export interface), etc. Among them, the value type of Metric is a number, and the value range includes the maximum value, minimum value and fixed value. The value type of Prefix is ​​subnet, which is the subnet type. The value type of Nexthop is ipaddr, which is the IP address. The value type of Outif is string, which is a string, and the value range includes the maximum length of the string is 16. Figure 2In response to the input of the newly added command, the command input indication information displayed in the front-end configuration tool may be the content in the brackets after the Metric, prefix, and Nexthop input boxes.

[0056] It is understandable that, in addition to obtaining the configuration fields directly from the configuration file of the target device module, in order to avoid redundant configuration of configuration fields in different device modules, the configuration fields of the embodiment of the present application can also be referenced configuration fields supported by other device modules (i.e., external reference fields) under the instruction of the command input requirements, such as Outif in the configuration fields listed in the aforementioned embodiment. In this case, the value constraints of the external reference fields can be obtained in the following manner: searching the external module and reference field associated with the external reference field from the configuration file; sending a reference command containing a reference field identifier to the external module, and obtaining the field value of the reference field returned by the external module as the value constraint of the external reference field.

[0057] Specifically, the command input requirement will include the external module and reference field associated with the external reference field, or the command input requirement will indicate the area in the configuration file that records the external module and reference field associated with the external reference field, so as to instruct the front-end device to send a reference command containing the reference field identifier to the external module associated with the external reference field, and use the field value of the reference field returned by the external module as the value constraint of the external reference field. Figure 2 In response to the input of the newly added command, the command input indication information displayed in the front-end configuration tool may be the content in the drop-down list corresponding to outif.

[0058] In some specific implementations, after the command input indication information of the target command is displayed in the front-end configuration tool according to the command input requirements, the method of the embodiment of the present application also includes the following steps: in response to the confirmation operation for the target command initiated by the front-end configuration tool, obtaining the configuration information input in the front-end configuration tool according to the command input indication information; encapsulating the configuration information based on a preset object format, and sending the encapsulated configuration information to the service interface module, so that the service interface module uses the configuration information parsed from the encapsulated configuration information for configuration.

[0059] Specifically, the confirmation operation for the target command refers to the operation of confirming the execution of the target command. In actual applications, the confirmation operation for the target command can be initiated in different ways for different target commands, which can be configured as needed. For example, if the target command is a new command, a confirmation instruction or control can be provided to confirm the new command, and after the confirmation instruction or control is triggered, the confirmation operation for the target command is initiated, such as Figure 2As shown, by selecting the confirmation control in the configuration interface of the new command, the confirmation operation of the new command is initiated; if the target command is a query command, the confirmation operation for the query command can be initiated synchronously after the user enters the query command, such as Figure 2 After entering the confirmation command, directly execute the query command to display the configuration information on the configuration page.

[0060] Following the command input instructions, the user can enter specific configuration information, such as the field values ​​for configuration fields, into the front-end configuration tool. Subsequently, the service interface module, uniformly provided to different front-end configuration tools, can uniformly encapsulate the configuration information based on a preset object format and send the encapsulated configuration information to the service interface module. Because the configuration information input by different front-end configuration tools is encapsulated in a unified preset object format, the service interface module can parse the encapsulated configuration information based on the preset object format to obtain configuration information and perform configuration based on this configuration information, such as updating corresponding configuration items of the target module device based on the configuration information.

[0061] By introducing the service interface module, the embodiment of the present application can provide a unified service interface module on the server side for different and independent front-end configuration tools on the user side, so that the configuration management behaviors of different front-end configuration tools on the server side are consistent.

[0062] Furthermore, after receiving the configuration information input by the user based on the command input instruction information, the value constraints of each configuration field can be used as a condition for verifying the field value of the corresponding configuration field. For example, the field value of Metric can be verified to be a number and within the maximum and minimum values ​​and a specified value range; the field value of Prefix can be verified to be of the subnet type; the field value of Nexthop can be verified to be an IP address; and the field value of Outif can be verified to be within the maximum string length of 16.

[0063] Furthermore, each configuration field supported by the target command can be optional or mandatory. Therefore, under the command input requirements, the configuration file can be searched for information indicating whether each configuration field is optional or mandatory, and this information can be displayed in the front-end configuration tool as part of the command input instruction information. Based on the above embodiment, Metric is an optional field, Prefix is ​​a mandatory field, Nexthop is a mandatory field, and Outif is an optional field.

[0064] Furthermore, after receiving the configuration information input by the user based on the command input indication information and responding to the confirmation operation for the target command, if the field value of the required field is found to be empty, a prompt can be given to the user, and the field value of each configuration field whose field value is not empty can be encapsulated as configuration information and sent to the service interface module. Alternatively, after waiting to obtain the field value of the required field input by the user, the field value of each configuration field whose field value is not empty can be encapsulated as configuration information and sent to the service interface module.

[0065] Similarly, the step of displaying the command result information of the target command in the front-end configuration tool according to the command result output method associated with the target command can be specifically implemented in the following way: based on the command result output method associated with the target command, obtain the field to be output and the output format; obtain the field value of the field to be output, and display the field value of the field to be output in the front-end configuration tool according to the output format, wherein the field value of the field to be output belongs to the command result information of the target command.

[0066] Specifically, in addition to directly recording the specifications of the command result information that the front-end device needs to display in the front-end configuration tool in the command result output method, the command result output method of the embodiment of the present application can also be any information that can instruct the front-end device to obtain the specifications of the command result information. The specifications of the command result information include but are not limited to output fields and output formats, where the output fields can be any configuration fields, and the output format can be the way the front-end displays the field value of the output field, such as different forms of charts.

[0067] In some specific implementations, the front-end device can obtain the configuration file from the service interface module by sending a configuration request, thereby realizing real-time remote acquisition and dynamic parsing of the configuration file, so as to execute the configuration method of the embodiment of the present application, and realize updating and editing of the configuration file without restarting or compiling the front-end device or the front-end configuration tool. In some specific implementations, the service interface module receives the configuration request sent by the front-end device, and the configuration request is initiated by the front-end configuration tool installed on the front-end device; and the service interface module sends the configuration file to the front-end device in response to the configuration request; wherein the configuration file includes the command input requirements and / or command result output mode associated with the target command, the command input requirements associated with the target command are used to display the command input indication information of the target command on the front-end configuration tool, and the command result output mode associated with the target command is used to display the command result information of the target command on the front-end configuration tool.

[0068] Specifically, after the service interface module responds to the configuration request sent by the front-end device, it can send the configuration file to the front-end device, which then parses the configuration file and performs subsequent processing. The steps of parsing the configuration file and performing subsequent processing by the front-end device in this embodiment of the application are similar to those in the embodiment described in step 101 and will not be repeated here.

[0069] In addition, if the embodiment of the present application is configured with corresponding configuration files for different device modules, then when the service interface module obtains the configuration file, it also needs to obtain the configuration file corresponding to the target device module according to the target device module indicated by the configuration request, so that the front-end device can parse the configuration file and receive the user's configuration management operations for the target device module.

[0070] The foregoing describes various implementations of the configuration method of the present application. The following describes the configuration method of an embodiment of the present application in a specific business scenario.

[0071] 1. Configure a corresponding configuration file for each device module and store it in JSON Schema format. The configuration file is used to support the implementation of the configuration method of the embodiment of the application. The configuration file includes, but is not limited to, the following four parts. In addition to using JSON Schema format to store the configuration file, other interpretive formats including, but not limited to, INI format, XML format, YANG format, and custom formats can also be used instead.

[0072] ① Basic information, including the device module name, the email information of the device module author, the release time of the device module, and the device module description.

[0073] ② Configuration items primarily describe configuration relationships through custom types. Custom private types are used to summarize supported configuration fields. Configuration items include configuration fields, along with their corresponding configuration field names, value constraints, and reference relationships. Configuration fields with reference relationships are external reference fields from other device modules.

[0074] ③Preset encapsulation format, this part of the content can be included in the configuration related part.

[0075] ④ Supported commands, including the supported command name, command description, command input requirements associated with the command, command result output format, command execution method, and whether it can be accessed by other device modules. The command execution method refers to the method by which the service interface module initiates the command execution operation.

[0076] 2. Before managing the management system configuration, the front-end configuration tool obtains the json schema file of the corresponding device module, that is, the configuration file, through the service interface module such as the Restful service.

[0077] 3. By parsing the configuration file, the configuration fields and value constraints required for managing the target device module are obtained and displayed in the front-end configuration tool as command input guidance information. The parsing process and the parsed content are the same for different front-end configuration tools, but the format of the information displayed by different front-end configuration tools is different. For example, the configuration tool based on WebUI displays Figure 2 The interface shown is generated in response to the input of the newly added command, while the configuration tool based on the local command line or remote command line directly displays the text of the command input guidance information.

[0078] 4. The user fills in the field values ​​for each configuration field according to the command input guidance information. In response to the confirmation operation of the new command, the configuration information input by the user is obtained and the command execution method of the new command is called. The encapsulated configuration information is sent to the service interface module, so that the service interface module completes subsequent configuration addition operations (including but not limited to configuration verification and configuration update) based on the configuration information.

[0079] 5. The service interface module parses the encapsulated configuration information using a pre-set encapsulation format and verifies the values ​​of each configuration field in the parsed configuration information based on the value constraints of each configuration field. The verification rules can be regular expressions or other proprietary rules, which are not limited here.

[0080] 6. Update the configuration of the routing module based on the verified configuration information.

[0081] In traditional solutions, configuration tools based on local command lines or remote command lines can directly use the device's built-in commands to implement configuration management behaviors, while configuration tools based on WebUI implement configuration management behaviors through remote operations such as the HTTP protocol. Therefore, in traditional solutions, the implementation of the two is independent.

[0082] The embodiment of the present application redefines the value constraints of the configuration fields and the command input requirements and command result output methods associated with the configuration file. This configuration method not only supports command execution, but also verifies the configuration information entered by the user. Figure 3 In short, the difference between the embodiments of the present application and the traditional method is that the traditional method is to operate the configuration through a configuration tool based on a local command line, a remote command line or a WebUI (I operate the configuration); while the present invention is to use a configuration file to guide the configuration tool based on a local command line, a remote command line or a WebUI (you can operate the configuration in this way).

[0085] In a specific implementation, the display unit 401 is specifically used to search for supported configuration fields in the configuration file based on command input requirements, and obtain the value constraints of each configuration field, where the value constraints include at least one of the numerical type, value range, and input format; each configuration field and the value constraints of each configuration field are displayed as command input indication information in the front-end configuration tool.
