[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a port configuration update method, electronic device, storage medium, and program product. Background Technology

[0002] In complex network environments, a terminal may migrate from one location to another for access. Because the new access location is different from the original location, it may be unable to access the network normally, and the protection method for the terminal may also change.

[0003] Currently, in related technologies, manual configuration changes are usually required after the location of the terminal changes.

[0004] However, the inventors discovered that the related technology has at least the following technical problems: in some scenarios, the terminal changes location frequently, and each time the terminal location changes, the port configuration needs to be changed manually, which is a cumbersome process. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In one possible implementation, before receiving the terminal information and original port configuration sent by the switch, the method further includes: receiving a reporting instruction sent by the management terminal, wherein the reporting instruction includes a switch identifier; sending a preset terminal information reporting configuration to the target switch corresponding to the switch identifier, so that the target switch adds the terminal information reporting configuration; receiving a preset configuration completion information sent by the switch; and sending the configuration completion information to the management terminal, so that the management terminal outputs the configuration completion information.

[0014] In one possible implementation, before obtaining terminal information from the terminal device and obtaining the original port configuration if a terminal device is detected to be connected, the method further includes: receiving a reporting instruction sent by the controller, wherein the reporting instruction is sent from the management terminal to the controller; configuring the terminal information reporting according to the reporting instruction, and sending the preset configuration completion information to the controller, so that the controller sends the configuration completion information to the management terminal.

[0015] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a port configuration update device, comprising: a data receiving module for receiving terminal information and original port configuration sent by a switch, wherein the terminal information is obtained by the switch from the terminal device after detecting the terminal device's access; a template determining module for determining the port configuration template corresponding to the terminal device based on the terminal information; a list determining module for determining a deletion list and an addition list based on the original port configuration and the port configuration template; and a list sending module for sending the deletion list and the addition list to the switch so that the switch uses the deletion list and the addition list for configuration update.

[0019] In a seventh aspect, this application provides a computer program product, including a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the method as described in the first or second aspect.

[0020] The port configuration update method, electronic device, storage medium, and program product provided in this application receive terminal information and original port configuration sent by the switch to determine that the terminal is connected to the switch. Using the port configuration template corresponding to the terminal information and the original port configuration, a deletion list and an addition list are determined and sent to the switch. The switch then updates the port configuration, enabling the switch to inform the server that a terminal has connected. The server then updates the corresponding port configuration of the switch to the port configuration bound to the terminal device. When the terminal device switches to a different switch, no manual configuration of the switch port is required, reducing the manual operation process of updating the switch port configuration and increasing the efficiency of port configuration updates.

[0029] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0030] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0031] In complex network environments, terminals may move from one location to another and reconnect to the network. Because the network environment differs between the new and original locations, the terminal may be unable to connect, and its protection measures will need to be adjusted accordingly. However, current technologies often rely on manual configuration changes to handle terminal location changes, a process that is both cumbersome and inefficient.

[0032] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the inventors propose the following technical concept: When a switch detects that a terminal device has been connected, it obtains the terminal device's information and the original port configuration currently used by the switch. The terminal device's information and the original port configuration are then sent to the controller. The controller uses the terminal device's information to find the corresponding configuration template, and uses the configuration template and the original port configuration to determine the addition, deletion, and modification of the configuration. It then creates corresponding deletion lists and addition lists and sends them to the switch, which then performs the corresponding configuration updates.

[0033] This application is applicable to scenarios involving port configuration updates. It should be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.) involved in this application are all information and data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use and processing of related data must comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards, and corresponding operation entry points are provided for users to choose to authorize or refuse.

[0034] Figure 1 A schematic diagram illustrating a scenario for the port configuration update method provided in this application. For example... Figure 1 In this scenario, the components include: terminal device 101, switch 102, and controller 103.

[0035] In the specific implementation process, the terminal device 101 may include a wireless network access point (AP), a computer, a server, a tablet, a mobile phone, a PDA, and a laptop, etc., which can input data. Using a wireless network access point as a terminal device increases the application scenarios of this proposal. When the wireless network access point is used as a terminal device, it improves the efficiency of replacing the wireless network access point and reduces the workload in the scenario of replacing the wireless network access point.

[0036] Controller 103 can be a Software Defined Network (SDN) controller. An SDN controller is a logical component that can be deployed on a standalone server or on devices such as switches. It can be implemented using a single server or a cluster of multiple servers with more powerful processing capabilities and higher security. Where possible, it can also be replaced by a computer or laptop with strong computing power.

[0037] The connection between terminal device 101 and switch 102, and between switch 102 and SDN controller 103, can be either wired or wireless.

[0038] Switch 102 is used to obtain terminal information of terminal device 101 after connecting to terminal device 101, and send the terminal information to SDN controller 103. SDN controller 103 obtains the original port configuration of switch 102, and finds the configuration template corresponding to the terminal information. Based on the configuration template and the original port configuration, it determines the configuration to be deleted and the configuration to be added, and sends the corresponding list to switch 102, so that switch 102 can complete the configuration update.

[0039] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 The execution entity of this application embodiment can be Figure 1 The controller 103 in this embodiment can also be a computer and / or a mobile phone, etc., and this embodiment does not impose any particular limitation on it. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0041] S201: Receive terminal information and original port configuration sent by the switch. The terminal information is obtained by the switch from the terminal device when it detects the terminal device accessing the network.

[0042] In this step, the terminal information and original port configuration can be sent by the switch in the form of messages, data packets, or other formats.

[0043] The terminal information may include the terminal's Media Access Control Address (MAC), IP address, hostname, etc. The access port identifier may be a port number, a switch identifier combined with the port number, etc.

[0044] S202: Determine the port configuration template corresponding to the terminal device based on the terminal information.

[0045] This step may include finding the correspondence between preset terminal information and configuration templates to obtain the port configuration template corresponding to the terminal device.

[0046] The correspondence between terminal information and configuration templates can be pre-configured by staff.

[0047] S203: Determine the deletion list and addition list based on the original port configuration and port configuration template.

[0048] This step may include comparing the original port configuration and the port configuration template to obtain the configuration instructions that need to be deleted from the original port configuration and the configuration instructions that need to be added from the port configuration template. The configuration instructions to be deleted are then combined to form a deletion list, and the configuration instructions to be added are written to an addition list. Alternatively, it may involve writing all original port configurations to the deletion list and writing the configuration information from the port configuration template to the addition list.

[0049] S204: Send the deletion list and the addition list to the switch so that the switch can use the deletion list and the addition list to update its configuration.

[0050] This step may include writing the deletion list and the addition list into a message or data packet and sending it to the switch; or it may include sending the deletion list and the addition list to the switch sequentially using a stack data format, so that the switch first deletes the configuration content that needs to be deleted and then adds other configuration content.

[0051] As can be seen from the description of the above embodiments, the embodiments of this disclosure receive terminal information and original port configuration sent by the switch, know that the terminal is connected to the switch, use the port configuration template corresponding to the terminal information and the original port configuration to determine the deletion list and the addition list, and send the deletion list and the addition list to the switch, so that the switch updates the port configuration. This realizes that the switch informs the server that a terminal has been connected, and the server updates the corresponding port configuration of the switch to the port configuration bound to the terminal device. When the terminal device switches the switch it is connected to, there is no need to manually configure the switch port, which reduces the manual operation process of updating the switch port configuration and increases the efficiency of port configuration update.

[0052] In one possible implementation, before receiving the terminal information and original port configuration sent by the switch in step S201 above, the following may also be included:

[0053] S250: Receives the access port identifier sent by the switch, and sends configuration query information to the switch based on the access port identifier, so that the switch can read the original port configuration based on the configuration query information. The access port identifier may include the identifier of the port to which the terminal device is connected.

[0054] The configuration query information can be preset or generated based on the access port identifier.

[0055] As can be seen from the description of the above embodiments, the embodiments of this disclosure receive the access port identifier sent by the switch and send the corresponding configuration query information to the switch, thereby querying the corresponding original port configuration, realizing the server actively requesting the original port configuration, and increasing the flexibility of port configuration acquisition.

[0056] In one possible implementation, step S203 above involves determining the deletion list and the addition list based on the original port configuration and the port configuration template, including steps S2031 and S2032.

[0057] S2031: Convert the original port configuration to a structured port configuration.

[0058] This step may include using newline character differential to obtain a list of single instructions, using pre-written regular expressions to traverse and match the instruction list, and converting the matched instructions into structured configuration data corresponding to the regular expressions.

[0059] The structured port configuration is a standardized port configuration that conforms to a preset format. By converting the original port configuration into a structured port configuration, it facilitates comparison and modification of subsequent configurations.

[0060] S2032: Determine the deletion list and addition list based on the structured port configuration and port configuration template.

[0061] This step may include comparing the configuration instructions in the structured port configuration and the port configuration template, identifying the intersection of the structured port configuration and the port configuration template as content that does not need to be changed, adding the configuration instructions that exist in the structured port configuration but do not belong to the intersection to the add list, and adding the configuration instructions that exist in the port configuration template but do not belong to the intersection to the delete list; or it may include adding the configuration instructions that belong to the structured port configuration but do not belong to the port configuration template to the delete list, and adding the configuration instructions that belong to the port configuration template but do not belong to the structured port configuration to the add list.

[0062] As can be seen from the description of the above embodiments, the embodiments of this disclosure convert the original port configuration into a structured port configuration, combine the structured port configuration and the port configuration template, determine the deletion list and the addition list, thereby standardizing the non-standard configuration. After standardization, a comparison is performed, and the determination of adding and deleting configurations is automatically completed, reducing the workload of staff.

[0063] In one possible implementation, the original port configuration contains at least one configuration instruction.

[0064] Accordingly, in step S2031 above, the original port configuration is converted into a structured port configuration, including steps S511 and S512.

[0065] S511: Retrieves the first string in the target configuration instruction, where the target configuration instruction is any configuration instruction.

[0066] This step may include splitting the target configuration instruction based on spaces or specific characters to obtain at least one string, or obtaining a list, taking the first string in the list as the first string, or taking the first element in the list as the first string.

[0067] S512: Use the regular expression corresponding to the first string to convert the target configuration instructions into structured instructions.

[0068] This step may include finding the correspondence between the string and the regular expression based on the first string to obtain at least one target regular expression, and using the target regular expression to convert the target configuration instruction into a structured instruction.

[0069] The correspondence between strings and regular expressions can be pre-written by staff and stored in a server or a storage unit or database connected to the server in a table, key-value pair or other format.

[0070] For example, if the first string is "rldp", then the corresponding relationship is found to obtain the target regular expressions A and B corresponding to the string "rldp". The target configuration instruction is transformed using target regular expressions A and B respectively, and the target configuration instruction is transformed into a structured instruction. During the transformation process, as long as one target regular expression can transform the target configuration instruction into a structured instruction, it is not necessary to use other target regular expressions for transformation.

[0071] As can be seen from the description of the above embodiments, the embodiments of this disclosure convert the target configuration instruction into a structured instruction by using the regular expression corresponding to the first string of the target configuration instruction, thereby reducing the number of regular expressions that need to be traversed, reducing the consumption of computing resources, and reducing the time for updating the switch port configuration.

[0072] In one possible implementation, both the original port configuration and the port configuration template contain at least one configuration instruction.

[0073] Accordingly, step S2032 above determines the deletion list and the addition list based on the structured port configuration and the port configuration template, including steps S521 to S526.

[0074] S521: Add configuration instructions that exist in the structured port configuration, but not in the port configuration template, and belong to the preset configuration management content, to the list to be sorted and deleted.

[0075] In this step, for example, if the structured port configuration includes configuration instructions A, B, C, D, E, and F, and the port configuration template includes configuration instructions C, D, and E, and configuration instruction F is not a configuration instruction belonging to the preset configuration management content, then configuration instructions A and B will be added to the pending deletion list. As another example, if the structured port configuration includes configuration instructions F, G, H, I, J, and K, and the port configuration template includes configuration instructions F, G, and H, and configuration instructions I, J, and K are all configuration instructions belonging to the preset configuration management content, then configuration instructions I, J, and K will be added to the pending deletion list.

[0076] S522: If there are conflicting configuration instructions in the structured port configuration and port configuration template, the conflicting configuration instructions in the structured port configuration will be added to the list to be sorted and deleted.

[0077] In this step, it is determined whether there are conflicting configuration instructions in the structured port configuration and the port configuration template. This can be done by finding the corresponding pre-defined conflict instructions based on the target configuration instructions in the structured port configuration, then checking the port configuration template for conflict instructions. If a conflict is found, the target configuration instruction is identified as a conflicting instruction and added to the list to be sorted and deleted. Alternatively, it can be done by finding the corresponding pre-defined conflict instructions based on the target configuration instructions in the port configuration template, then checking the structured port configuration for conflict instructions. If a conflict is found, the target configuration instruction is identified as a conflicting instruction and added to the list to be sorted and deleted.

[0078] The correspondence between conflicting instructions can be pre-defined by the staff.

[0079] S523: Add configuration directives that exist in the port configuration template but not in the structured port configuration to the list to be sorted.

[0080] This step is similar to step S522 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0081] S524: Sort the configuration instructions in the unsorted deletion list according to their dependencies to obtain the deletion list.

[0082] In this step, the dependencies of the configuration instructions in the list to be sorted for deletion can be obtained by consulting a dependency table pre-compiled by the staff. Sorting the configuration instructions in the list can include adding a sorting field to the configuration instructions. This sorting field has a default sorting value. If any configuration instruction depends on other configuration instructions, the sorting value of that instruction is adjusted to be less than the sorting value of the dependent instruction, and the deletion list is then sorted according to the sorting value.

[0083] S525: Sort the configuration instructions in the unsorted add list according to their dependencies to obtain the add list.

[0084] This step is similar to step S525 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0085] S526: If there are high-priority configuration instructions in the original port configuration, the high-priority configuration instructions will be written into the deletion list and the addition list. The high-priority configuration instructions are those with a higher priority than the configuration instructions in the addition list.

[0086] In this step, to determine if there are high-priority configuration commands in the original port configuration, we can look up the preset priority lookup table based on the original port configuration and the configuration commands in the add list to obtain the priority of each configuration command.

[0087] For example, if the original port configuration includes configuration commands A, B, C, and D with priorities of 1, 1, 0, and 2 respectively, and the add list includes configuration commands E, F, G, and H with priorities of 0, 0, 1, and 0 respectively, then configuration command D has a higher priority than the configuration commands in the add list. Therefore, configuration command D is determined as a high-priority configuration command and is added to both the delete list and the add list.

[0088] As can be seen from the description of the above embodiments, the embodiments of this disclosure write redundant configuration instructions in the structured port configuration and configuration instructions that conflict with configuration instructions in the port configuration template into a list to be sorted and deleted. The contents that need to be added to the switch port by the port configuration template are added into a list to be sorted and added. After sorting the list to be sorted and the list to be sorted according to the dependency relationship, the configuration instructions with higher priority in the original port configuration are written into the deletion list. This realizes that when the switch uses the deletion list and the addition list to update the configuration, the high-priority configuration instructions are deleted first, and then the configuration instructions are added according to the dependency relationship, so that the switch port configuration is consistent with the template.

[0089] In one possible implementation, before step S202 determines the port configuration template corresponding to the terminal device based on the terminal information, the method further includes:

[0090] S220: Receives template generation instructions, binding instructions, and switch identifiers sent by the management terminal, wherein the binding instructions include terminal information.

[0091] In this step, the template generation instructions, binding instructions, and switch identifiers can be entered by the staff. Staff can enter this information through the management terminal accessing the configuration management page or the configuration management software.

[0092] S221: Generate the configuration template corresponding to the template generation command.

[0093] This step may include combining parameters from the template generation instruction to obtain a configuration template.

[0094] S222: Establish the correspondence between configuration templates and terminal information.

[0095] This step may include writing the configuration template and terminal information into a corresponding relationship table or a corresponding relationship key-value pair.

[0096] S223: Send the configuration template to the switch corresponding to the switch identifier so that the switch applies the configuration template.

[0097] In this step, the configuration template can be sent directly to the switch corresponding to the switch identifier using message, data packet, or other formats. Alternatively, the configuration can be distributed to the switch using the methods described in steps S203 to S204 above.

[0098] As can be seen from the description of the above embodiments, the present disclosure embodiments achieve manual binding of configuration by having staff manually set configuration templates on the management terminal and bind the configuration templates to the terminal information.

[0099] In one possible implementation, after step S204 above, where the deletion list and the addition list are sent to the switch so that the switch can update its configuration using the deletion list and the addition list, the method further includes:

[0100] S230: Generate terminal migration data based on the switches that each terminal device has accessed.

[0101] This step may include using the identifiers of the terminal device and the switches it has accessed as terminal migration data, or it may include counting the number of times the terminal device has changed the switches it accesses as the terminal migration count, and using the terminal migration count as terminal migration data, or it may include using the identifier of the terminal device with the most migrations as terminal migration data.

[0102] S231: Output terminal migration data.

[0103] This step may include displaying the terminal migration data, or it may include sending the terminal migration data to a management terminal so that the management terminal outputs the terminal migration data.

[0104] As can be seen from the description of the above embodiments, the embodiments of this disclosure generate terminal migration data by recording the switches that each terminal device has accessed, and output the terminal migration data to visualize the terminal migration situation.

[0105] In one possible implementation, before receiving the terminal information and original port configuration sent by the switch in step S201, the method further includes steps S240 to S243.

[0106] S240: Receives a reporting instruction sent by the management terminal, wherein the reporting instruction includes the switch identifier.

[0107] In this step, receiving reporting instructions can be achieved by receiving messages, data packets, etc.

[0108] S241: Send the preset terminal information reporting configuration to the target switch corresponding to the switch identifier, so that the target switch can add the terminal information reporting configuration.

[0109] In this step, the information reporting configuration enables the switch to perform steps such as obtaining terminal information, obtaining access port identifier, sending terminal information and access port identifier, and updating configuration using deletion and addition lists when a terminal device is connected.

[0110] S242: Receive the preset configuration completion information sent by the switch.

[0111] This step is similar to step S240 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0112] S243: Send the configuration completion information to the management terminal so that the management terminal outputs the configuration completion information.

[0113] This step may include sending the configuration completion information to the management terminal in the form of a message, data packet, string, or other format, so that the management terminal can display or voice output the configuration completion information.

[0114] As can be seen from the description of the above embodiments, the embodiments of this disclosure receive the reporting instruction sent by the management terminal, send the terminal information reporting configuration to the corresponding switch, complete the configuration of the corresponding switch, and enable the switch to automatically report the terminal information of the access terminal device and automatically update the configuration according to the add list and delete list.

[0115] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating the port configuration update method provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 The execution entity of this application embodiment can be Figure 1 Switch 102 in the middle. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0116] S301: If a terminal device is detected to be connected, obtain terminal information from the terminal device and obtain the original port configuration.

[0117] This step may include determining that a terminal device has been detected as connected if an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) request or other connection request is received from the terminal device. Obtaining terminal information from the terminal device may include sending a request to the terminal device to obtain its terminal information. Obtaining the original port configuration may include reading the original configuration of the port connected to the terminal device as the original port configuration.

[0118] S302: Send the terminal information and original port configuration to the controller so that the controller can determine the port configuration template corresponding to the terminal device based on the terminal information, and determine the deletion list and addition list based on the original port configuration and the port configuration template.

[0119] In this step, terminal information and access port identifiers can be sent in formats such as messages, data packets, or strings.

[0120] Specifically, before sending the original port configuration, this step may further include: receiving configuration query information sent by the controller based on the access port identifier; and reading the original port configuration based on the configuration query information. The configuration query information may include a query command and a port number; by obtaining the port configuration corresponding to the port number, the original port configuration is obtained.

[0121] S303: Receives deletion and addition lists sent by the controller.

[0122] In this step, the deletion list and the addition list can be received directly by receiving the list or by receiving messages and data packets.

[0123] S304: Configuration updates are performed using delete and add lists.

[0124] This step may include deleting configuration items from the deletion list and adding configuration items from the addition list to complete the configuration update; or it may include executing configuration commands from the deletion list and configuration commands from the addition list to complete the configuration update.
