[0058] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0059] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different configurations of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and configurations of specific examples are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or configurations discussed.

[0060] The embodiments of the present application disclose a configuration method, system, device and storage medium for a network device to improve the configuration efficiency of the network device.

[0061] See also Figure 1 , is a flow chart of a configuration method for a network device provided in an embodiment of the present application, the configuration method comprising:

[0062] S101. Displaying a configuration interface of a network device; wherein the configuration interface is a graphical interface for displaying device parameters and configuration controls of the network device; the device parameters include: at least one of: time-sensitive network configuration parameters, quality of service control parameters, port configuration parameters, and switching function parameters;

[0063] In traditional solutions, there is a lack of visual display of device parameters. For example, when viewing the current configuration parameters of a network device, the traditional solution requires connecting to the board (network device) through a telnet client and entering the configuration, and then issuing commands through the command line interface to view the configuration parameters. However, this method prints a large number of entries each time the configuration is viewed, making it very difficult to find the configuration, and it is impossible to query cross-functional configurations intuitively and quickly. Therefore, in this application, the configuration interface of the network device can be displayed through a display device, and the configuration interface can display the device parameters and configuration controls of the network device.

[0064] Among them, the configuration interface is a graphical user interface (GUI). A graphical user interface is an interface form that interacts with users through visual elements. Configuration controls are visual elements with interactive functions, including: input controls, selection controls, display controls, etc. Input controls include: text input boxes, numeric adjustment boxes, file upload boxes, etc. Selection controls include: radio buttons, multi-select list boxes, drop-down boxes, etc. Display controls include: information display icons, etc.

[0065] The device parameters include: network device configuration parameters, software version parameters, firmware version parameters, etc., which are not specifically limited here. As long as they are parameters related to the network device, they can be displayed through the configuration interface; the device parameters include: time-sensitive network configuration parameters, quality of service control parameters, port configuration parameters, and switching function parameters. The time-sensitive network configuration parameters include: TSN CB (Time-Sensitive Networking Control Block), TSN QCI (Time-Sensitive Networking QoS Class Identifier), TSN QBV (Time-Sensitive Networking Quality of Service), etc. The quality of service control parameters include: QOS (Quality of Service) configuration parameters, MIRROR configuration parameters, ACL (Access Control List) configuration parameters, etc. The port configuration parameters include: port configuration parameters, PHY configuration (Physical Layer) parameters, etc.; the switching function parameters include: MAC (Media Access Control) configuration parameters, VLAN (Virtual Local Area) configuration parameters. Network (Virtual Local Area Network) configuration parameters, LAG (Link Aggregation Group) configuration parameters, PTP (Precision Time Protocol Domain) domain configuration parameters, PTP port configuration parameters, etc.

[0066] It should be noted that this application can convert each configuration parameter into an interactive table element, and use a chart to realize the configuration and display of parameters. This method has the effect of concise display and fast modification, and does not require memorizing the command format; see Figure 2 , is a schematic diagram of a configuration interface provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, this application displays different configuration parameters in a graphical manner. Users can switch the configuration interface by clicking on different configuration parameters. In the configuration interface, configuration controls such as text input boxes or multiple-selection list boxes for different parameters are displayed. Users can trigger the generation of parameter modification instructions in the configuration controls.

[0067] S102, obtaining a configuration instruction through a configuration control; the configuration instruction includes any one of a parameter modification instruction, a configuration file update instruction, a firmware update instruction, and a software update instruction;

[0068] In this application, if a user needs to configure a network device, they can directly touch the corresponding configuration controls in the configuration interface through a device such as a mouse, trackpad, or touch screen to generate the corresponding configuration instructions, without having to memorize complex command line instructions. For example, after a device parameter is displayed in the configuration interface, the device parameter has a corresponding text input box. If it is detected that the user has entered parameter data in the text input box, a parameter modification instruction can be automatically generated to quickly modify the device parameters of the network device.

[0069] In addition, when the present application obtains configuration instructions through a configuration control, the corresponding configuration instructions can be determined according to the type of the configuration control being touched; configuration instructions include parameter modification instructions, configuration file update instructions, firmware update instructions, software update instructions, configuration reading instructions, etc., which are not specifically limited here; for example: if the configuration control corresponds to a configuration parameter, a parameter modification instruction will be generated after the configuration control is touched; if the configuration control corresponds to an updated configuration file, a configuration file update instruction will be generated after the configuration control is touched; if the configuration control corresponds to an updated firmware, a firmware update instruction will be generated after the configuration control is touched; if the configuration control corresponds to an updated software, a software update instruction will be generated after the configuration control is touched.

[0070] See also Figure 3 , is a configuration diagram of a network device provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the configuration interface includes the IP Address (Internet Protocol Address) and Password of the network device. After entering the IP address and password of the network device, you can connect to the network device; the user clicks the "Firmware Burn" button in the configuration interface to generate a firmware update instruction, the user clicks the "Configuration Burn" button in the configuration interface to generate a configuration file update instruction, and the user clicks the "Configuration Read" button in the configuration interface to generate a configuration read instruction.

[0071] S103: Execute corresponding configuration operations using the configuration instructions.

[0072] In this application, different operating logics are required to execute corresponding configuration operations for different types of configuration instructions. For example, if the configuration instruction is a parameter modification instruction, the parameter data input by the user is obtained, and the configuration parameters of the network device are modified according to the parameter data; if the configuration instruction is a configuration file update instruction, the configuration file to be updated is obtained, and the configuration file of the network device is updated according to the configuration file to be updated.

[0073] It should be noted that when performing corresponding configuration operations in this application, data transmission and instruction sending can be achieved through pre-defined services. This application does not specifically limit the services, as long as the configuration of network devices can be achieved. For example, network devices can be configured through FTP (File Transfer Protocol) services and TELNET (Telecommunication Network) services. Among them, FTP services are used to send parameter data, configuration files, firmware, and software to network devices, and TELNET services are used to send corresponding processing instructions to network devices; such as parameter modification instructions, update instructions, etc.

[0074] In summary, this application displays the device parameters and configuration controls of network devices through a configuration interface, which can realize the intuitive display of device parameters. When configuring network devices, there is no need to enter control commands through a command line interface. Only touch operations are required on the configuration interface to trigger any one of parameter modification instructions, configuration file update instructions, firmware update instructions, and software update instructions, thereby improving configuration efficiency. Moreover, the device parameters in this application include at least one of time-sensitive network configuration parameters, quality of service control parameters, port configuration parameters, and switching function parameters, thereby realizing centralized configuration and display of various types of parameters, greatly reducing configuration time and operation complexity. This solution can be applied to the rapid deployment and policy management of complex network equipment in vehicle-mounted or industrial networking scenarios.

[0075] In another embodiment of the present application, if the configuration instruction is a software update instruction, performing the corresponding configuration operation using the configuration instruction includes:

[0076] Obtain the first version number of the software to be updated and the second version number of the current software;

[0077] Determine whether the first version number is greater than the second version number;

[0078] If so, replacing the current software with the software to be updated;

[0079] If not, a first prompt message is displayed through the configuration interface; the first prompt message is used to prompt that the current software is the latest version.

[0080] In this application, when updating software, it is necessary to check the software version. If the first version number of the software to be updated is greater than the second version number of the current software, the software update process is executed; otherwise, a first prompt message is generated and displayed on the configuration interface, indicating that the current software is the latest version and does not need to be updated.

[0081] See also Figure 4, is a software update flow chart provided in an embodiment of the present application, through Figure 4 It can be seen that when updating the software, this application first downloads the software version information to be updated and the update link information file, parses the software version number to be updated from the software version information to be updated, and obtains the download link from the update link information file; determines whether the software is updated: if not, the process ends; if so, determines whether the parsed version number is greater than the current version number; if it is greater than the current version number, a pop-up window prompts that the current software version is the latest version, and the process ends; if it is not greater than the current version number, downloads the software to be updated, creates a software replacement script, runs the software replacement script, the script ends, and the network device restarts after the software is replaced.

[0082] It should be noted that when downloading the software version information and update link information file to be updated, it can be automatically pushed to the configuration interface after the software is updated. If the user triggers the generation of a software update instruction in the configuration interface, it is determined that the software needs to be updated, and then the step of determining whether the parsed version number is greater than the current version number is executed.

[0083] From the above, it can be seen that when updating the software of a network device, this application needs to check the software version. Only when the software version number to be updated is greater than the current software version number, the software update operation is performed. In this way, it is possible to avoid installing old versions or the same version of software on the network device, avoid functional regression of the network device or compatibility issues, ensure the effectiveness and necessity of the software update, improve the stability of the network device, and reduce resource consumption.

[0084] In another embodiment of the present application, when obtaining a configuration instruction through a configuration control, a parameter modification instruction is obtained specifically through a text input box of a target device parameter; the parameter modification instruction includes parameter data of the target device parameter input by the user;

[0085] Accordingly, the process of executing the corresponding configuration operation using the configuration instruction in this application includes:

[0086] Determine whether the parameter data is valid data; the valid data is non-conflicting data and is within the standard parameter range; if so, use the parameter data to modify the target device parameters; if not, display a second prompt message through the configuration interface; the second prompt message is used to prompt modification suggestions for the parameter data.

[0087] In traditional solutions, the error rate is high when configuring parameters, and the associated configurations of different functional modules require manual verification of parameter consistency. For example, when traditional solutions configure complex parameter combinations for network devices, configuration conflicts are prone to occur, and manual verification is required at this time, such as manually checking the priority conflicts between ACL rules and QCI flow classifications, and manually checking the consistency between VLAN and MAC. Moreover, after a command is entered incorrectly in the traditional solution, it is necessary to search for the incorrectly entered configuration by checking all configurations, and the incorrect configuration cannot be effectively checked. Furthermore, after the firmware is updated, some configuration commands will be modified. If the configuration commands before the modification are continued to be used, the network device cannot be effectively configured. In the present application, if the parameter data of the target configuration parameters needs to be modified, the user only needs to enter the parameter data in the text input box of the target device parameters to generate the parameter modification instruction, without having to enter different commands in the command line interface. Moreover, when the present application performs the corresponding configuration operation, the validity of each configuration parameter in all tables can be verified in real time based on the rule engine.

[0088] When judging whether the parameter data is valid data, the present application needs to perform at least the following two check operations on the parameter data: configuration conflict check and parameter range check; wherein, the configuration conflict check is used to perform conflict check on the same port or configuration to reduce redundant configuration; the parameter range check is used to screen the parameter range of the parameter data entered in each text input box; if the parameter data is neither conflicting data nor within the standard parameter range, then the parameter data is valid data, and the parameter data can be used to modify the target device parameters; otherwise, the parameter data is judged to be invalid data, and a second prompt message needs to be generated and displayed on the configuration interface. The second prompt message is used to prompt modification suggestions for the parameter data. In this way, the present application can timely check for conflicting invalid data when configuring ACL rules and QCI flow classification priorities; when configuring VLAN and MAC, it automatically checks the consistency of parameters, and if there is inconsistent parameter data, it is judged to be invalid data; in this way, even if the parameter data is modified incorrectly, the user can be reminded in time through a prompt message, and the user can re-enter the correct parameter data according to the prompt message.

[0089] See also Figure 5 , is a parameter checking flow chart provided in an embodiment of the present application, through Figure 5 It can be seen that this application first initializes the parameter data of each configuration parameter of the network device on the configuration interface. The user enters the parameter data through the configuration interface and determines whether the parameter data is legal; if so, the parameter data is determined to be valid data and the configuration parameters are updated; if not, the correct data value range is prompted through a pop-up window in the configuration interface. Figure 6 , is a schematic diagram of a prompt information provided in an embodiment of the present application, through Figure 6 It can be seen that if the input parameter data is incorrect, a modification suggestion will be prompted in a pop-up window, and the user can re-enter valid parameter data based on the modification suggestion.

[0090] From the above, it can be seen that when modifying the configuration parameters of this application, the parameter data can be entered in the text input box of the configuration interface, and the validity of the parameter data can be checked. If the parameter data is valid data, the configuration parameters are modified to ensure the validity and correctness of the parameters; if the parameter data is not valid data, a prompt message is generated so that the user can adjust the parameter data according to the modification suggestions in the prompt message, thereby providing users with effective reference opinions and improving the modification efficiency of the configuration parameters.

[0091] In another embodiment of the present application, if the target device parameter is a MAC configuration parameter of a switching function parameter, after executing the corresponding configuration operation using the configuration instruction, it also includes: if the parameter data is PORT data of the MAC configuration parameter, querying the VID data corresponding to the PORT data and filling the VID data into the target display position.

[0092] In traditional solutions, after entering the VLAN configuration on a network device, you must use the MAC command to generate the corresponding configuration. For example, to configure VLANs including VLAN1, VLAN3, and VLAN4, and the corresponding L2 unknown multicast, broadcast, and unicast drop, you need to enter the command:

[0093] vlan create 1

[0094] vlan add-port 1 0

[0095] vlan add-port 1 3

[0096] vlan add-port 1 1

[0097] vlan add-port 1 2

[0098] vlan add-port 1 4

[0099] vlan l2-miss-opt 1drop drop drop

[0100] vlan create 3

[0101] vlan add-port 3 7

[0102] vlan add-port 3 8

[0103] vlan add-port 3 0

[0104] vlan add-port 3 1

[0105] vlan l2-miss-opt 3drop drop drop

[0106] vlan create 4

[0107] vlan add-port 4 1

[0108] vlan add-port 4 0

[0109] vlan l2-miss-opt 4drop drop drop

[0110] mac add static 07:0C:0E:03:0E:06port 0 1

[0111] mac add static 07:0C:0E:03:0E:06port 0 3

[0112] mac add static 07:0C:0E:03:0E:06port 0 4

[0113] In this application, each configuration parameter can be configured directly in the configuration interface, see Figure 7 , is a schematic diagram of a VLAN configuration provided by an embodiment of the present application; as shown in the figure, the user can directly select the port of each VLAN in the VLAN configuration interface to trigger the generation of parameter modification instructions, without having to enter different commands for each modification; Figure 7 As shown, the user configures the ports of VLAN1 as Port0, Port1, Port2, Port3, and Port4. In addition, the present application can also automatically deduce the VLAN-MAC association configuration relationship through the chart perception engine. That is, if the currently set target device parameter is the MAC configuration parameter of the switching function parameter, then after configuring the PORT data of the MAC configuration parameter, the VID (VLAN ID) data corresponding to the PORT data can be automatically queried from the VLAN configuration and filled into the target display position.

[0114] See also Figure 8 , is a MAC configuration diagram provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, the current input configuration PORT data is PORT0, then through Figure 7The VLAN configuration in the configuration interface can be found. PORT0 corresponds to VLAN1, VLAN3, and VLAN4 respectively. The VID data is 1, 3, and 4. The VID data is filled in the target display position on the configuration interface. It should be noted that if VLAN is not configured when configuring the MAC, the VID data cannot be directly found based on the association relationship. The user can directly enter the VID data on the configuration interface.

[0115] From the above, it can be seen that after creating the vlan configuration in this application, when creating the mac configuration, you only need to enter the PORT data, and the VID data of the PORT data can be automatically queried and saved, which improves the configuration speed of the parameter data and ensures the correctness of the parameter data.

[0116] In another embodiment of the present application, if the configuration instruction is a configuration file update instruction or a firmware update instruction, performing the corresponding configuration operation using the configuration instruction includes:

[0117] Obtain the connection status of the network device; if the connection status is connection failure, display a third prompt message through the configuration interface; the third prompt message is used to prompt that the network device connection has failed; if the connection status is connection success, send a target file to the network device through the FTP service; wherein the target file is a configuration file to be updated or firmware to be updated; send an update instruction to the network device through the TELNET service so that the network device can perform the update operation using the target file.

[0118] In the traditional solution, when updating the firmware of a network device, the user needs to first open the FTP server, copy the firmware to the FTP server, then connect to the board through the TELNET client, enter the corresponding update command to update the firmware, and manually trigger a restart after the update. When updating the configuration file, after connecting to the board through the TELNET client, enter the configuration file and save it through the command. Only one configuration file with a fixed name can be saved at a time, and only one can be exported, which requires manual renaming to ensure input and output.

[0119] In the present application, the user only needs to trigger the generation of a configuration file update instruction or a firmware update instruction on the configuration interface to automatically execute the update process. That is, after the present application obtains the configuration file update instruction or the firmware update instruction, it first determines the connection status of the network device; if the connection status is connection failure, a third prompt message is generated and displayed on the configuration interface, and the third prompt message is used to prompt the user that the network device connection has failed and the subsequent update process cannot be executed at this time; if the connection status is connection success, the target file is sent to the network device via the FTP service; if the configuration instruction is a configuration file update instruction, the target file is the configuration file to be updated; if the configuration instruction is a firmware update instruction, the target file is the firmware to be updated; then the update instruction is sent to the network device via the TELNET service so that the network device performs the update operation using the target file; and the target file verification result sent by the network device is received, and the verification result includes: verification success or verification failure. If the verification is successful, it means that the target file has been completely transferred to the network device and the network device can successfully complete the update operation; if the verification fails, it means that the target file transferred to the network device is an incorrect file and the update operation cannot be completed at this time. At this time, the user can choose whether to retransmit the target file according to the settings. In addition, this application can set different configuration files according to different application scenarios, and different configuration files can be set with different names and saved according to different scenarios.

[0120] See also Figure 9 , is a configuration file / firmware update schematic diagram provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, the present application can generate a corresponding configuration file based on the configuration information, and then enter the board IP and the corresponding operation password; determine whether the connection is successful: if not, a pop-up window will prompt that the connection failed and the process ends; if successful, open the FTP service to point to the current path, which is the path for saving the target file, so that the configuration file can be transferred to the network device through the FTP service; determine whether the configuration file needs to be updated or the firmware is updated; if the firmware is updated, prepare to send a firmware update instruction; if the configuration file is updated, select the configured update location, such as: update the configuration file to the a partition or b partition of the network device, and prepare to send the configuration update instruction; send the update command through the TELNET service, the file transfer verification is completed, and the process ends.

[0121] In another embodiment of the present application, if the configuration instruction is a firmware update instruction, before obtaining the connection status of the network device, the method further includes:

[0122] Obtain the third version number of the firmware to be updated and the second version number of the current software; use the mapping table to determine whether the third version number matches the second version number; if so, continue to execute the step of obtaining the connection status of the network device; if not, display a fourth prompt message through the configuration interface; the fourth prompt message is used to prompt: update the current software to the matching target software, or update the current firmware to the matching target firmware.

[0123] It should be noted that in order to avoid the problem of configuration errors caused by inconsistency between software version and firmware version, this application can establish a mapping table between firmware version and software version. Before updating the firmware, it is necessary to obtain the third version number of the firmware to be updated and the second version number of the current software; use the mapping table to determine whether the third version number matches the second version number; only if the third version number matches the second version number, the firmware update process is executed, otherwise the fourth prompt information is displayed through the configuration interface, and the fourth prompt information is used to prompt the user: the current software can be updated to the matching target software, or the current firmware can be updated to the matching target firmware; for example: the mapping table records that the firmware version 20250306 matches the software version 1.2.4.0-1.2.4.4. If the third version number of the firmware to be updated is 20250306, and the second version number of the current software is 1.2.3.3, it can be determined that the firmware to be updated does not match the current software. At this time, the user can be prompted through the configuration interface to update the software to the latest version to match the firmware, thereby realizing the issuance of relevant configurations.
