The embodiment of the present invention further provides a data configuration method, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a data configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method includes:

S301. Obtain a network topology parameter of the network to be formed.

First, the network management server first obtains a network topology parameter of the network to be formed, and the network topology parameter indicates the network device and each network device in the network to be formed. The connection between the two. For example, the network to be built includes a first network device and a second network device connected to the first network device, where the network topology parameter may include a device identifier of the first network device and a device identifier of the second network device, where The device identifier of the network device and the second network device, where the device identifier may include the device type information of the network device, for example, the device identifier of the first network device is the RNC 101, and the device identifier of the second network device is the SGSN 102. The "RNC" in the device identifier indicates that the device type of the network device is a radio network controller (RNC), and "101" identifies the number of the network device. Similarly, "SGSN" indicates the device of the network device. The type is Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), and "102" identifies the number of the network device. It should be noted that the foregoing is a convenient description for the example, and the device identifier of the network device may also have other representation methods, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The connection relationship between the network devices herein may include at least one of signaling connectivity information between the network devices that needs to be configured, and one of the user plane transmission networks between the network devices.

S302. Determine basic configuration data of the first network device and the second network device according to the obtained network topology structure parameter.

The network management server may determine, by using the network topology parameter, that the first network device and the second network device connected to the first network device are included in the network to be determined, thereby determining the basic configuration of determining the first network device and the second network device. data.

For example, the network management server may obtain the device information of the first network device and the device information of the second network device according to the identifier of the first network device and the identifier of the second network device in the network topology parameter, where the device information may include Information about the communication port and the basic communication protocol of the network device of the device type and the network device of the other device type. It should be noted that the device information may be pre-stored in the network management server or may be imported through a template. The device information of each network device is previously imported into the network management server, and the present invention is not limited thereto. After the network management server determines the communication ports of the network devices, the address information of the communication ports can be determined, so that the basic configuration data of each network device includes the address information of the communication ports of the respective network devices.

For example, the first network device is the RNC 101 and has two communication ports, and the second network device is SGSN201 has 8 communication ports, and RNC101 and SGSN201 are interconnected based on a network protocol (Internet Protocol, IP), and the network management server determines that the two communication ports of the first network device respectively assign IP addresses, and for each The IP address is assigned a port number, wherein the port number is unique among the same IP address, so that the network management server determines the basic configuration data of the first network device RNC101, wherein the basic configuration data of the RNC 101 includes the IP addresses of the two ports of the RNC 101. Address and port number. Similarly, the network management server determines basic configuration data of the second network device SGSN 201, including the IP addresses and port numbers of the eight communication ports of the second network device.

It should be noted that the basic communication protocol of the network device interconnection is different, and the address information of the communication port is also different. For example, the first network device and the second network device are interconnected based on a media access control protocol (MAC). The address information of the communication port may be the MAC address of the communication port. Embodiments of the invention are not - exemplified.

If the network topology parameter includes a connection relationship between the network devices, for example, a signaling link information that needs to be configured between the network devices, the network management server at this time according to the communication protocol information of the interconnection between the network devices And determining the signaling link information in the basic configuration data of the network device.

S303. Generate configuration data of the first network device according to basic configuration data of the first network device and basic configuration data of the second network device.

The communication basis between the two network devices having the connection relationship in the network to be formed is that the first network device learns the address information of the communication port of the second network device, and therefore, after generating the basic configuration data, the second network device needs to be combined The basic configuration data can obtain the final configuration data of the first network device, that is, when the basic configuration data is sent to the first network device, the address information of the communication port of the second network device needs to be added to the first network together. The basic configuration data of the device can be used to generate the final configuration data of the first network device.

Specifically, the final configuration data of the first network device needs to include IP address information or MAC address information of the communication port of the second network device.

After the configuration data of the first network device is generated, S204 is performed.

S304. Generate, according to configuration data of the first network device, control the first network device to perform Configuration instructions for data configuration;

When the configuration data of the first network device is obtained, a configuration command including the first network device configuration data is generated for the first network device.

Since the network device to be built includes multiple network devices, and each network device may be different, the configuration commands that can be identified by different network devices are different. In the embodiment of the present invention, the generated configuration commands can be used by the network. The device is identified, so the network management server needs to determine the device identifier corresponding to each network device that receives the configuration command in the network to be set up, and determines the device identifier corresponding to each network device according to the correspondence between the stored device identifier and the command format. Command format. The network management server generates, according to the configuration data of the first network device, a configuration instruction for controlling the first network device to perform data configuration according to a command format that the first network device can recognize.

S305. Send a configuration command to the first network device.

After the configuration command is sent to the network device, the network device can recognize the configuration command and perform data configuration according to the configuration data in the respective received configuration command.

The following is illustrated by specific application scenarios:

As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 shows a networking configuration process between the RNC and the SGSN in a telecommunication network.

It should be noted that the basic conditions in the network topology structure still require the user to define the network of the component according to the required components, such as the device identifier of the network device included in the networking, and the connection relationship between the network devices. The input network topology parameters are as follows:

1. An RNC and an SGSN;

2. Two SNC signaling links from the RNC to the SGSN;

3. Connect the RNC to the transmission network of the SGSN 1;

4. Signaling point of RNC 10;

5. Signaling point of the SGSN 20;

After determining the network topology parameters of the networking, since the RNC side and the SGSN side communicate based on the IP protocol, the network management server will be the A port and the B port of the STCP signaling link based on the IP protocol on the RNC side. Assign the IP address 10.0.0.1, then assign a port to the A port No. 1023, the port number is 1024 for the port B. The address information of the port A is 10.0.0.1:1023, and the address information of the port B is 10.0.0.1:1024. Then, an IP address is allocated to each communication port that the RNC side accesses to the transmission network 1, for example, three communication ports C, D, and E of the RNC side access transmission network 1 in FIG. 1 are respectively assigned an IP address, that is, The IP address assigned to the C port is 10.0.1.1:1033, the IP address assigned to the D port is 10.0.1.1:1034, and the IP address assigned to the E port is 10.0.0.3:1035, where 1033, 1034, and 1035 are respectively Port number of port C, D, and E. The above parameters are the basic configuration data on the RNC side.

At the same time, the network management server assigns an IP address of 10.1.0.1 and a port of the corresponding port of the opposite SGSN side of the RNC side to an IP address of 10.1.0.1, and assigns a port number of 1024 to port a, which is a port b. Assign a port number of 1024, where the IP addresses of ports a and b are different, so the same port number can be used. At the same time, the IP address is assigned to the communication port c and d of the communication network 1 on the SGSN side. The IP address corresponding to the c port is 10.1.1.1:1050, and the IP address corresponding to the d port is 10.1.1.2:1051. The above parameter is SGSN. Basic configuration data.

The RNC side and the SGSN side need to communicate, and the configuration data of the RNC side needs to be combined with the basic configuration data of the RNC side and the basic configuration data of the SGSN side, that is, the configuration data on the RNC side includes two signaling links. The signaling link corresponds to the IP address of port A 10.0.0.1:1023, the IP address of B 10.0.0.1:1024, and the IP address of three communication ports that communicate with the transport network 1, ie: the C port address is 10.0. .1.1:1033, D port address is 10.0.0.1:1034, E port address is 10.0.0.3:1035, and contains port a port IP address 10.1.0.1:1024 on the SGSN side and b port IP address 10.1.0.2:1024 The c port address is 10.1.1.1:1050 and the d port address is 10.0.1.1.2:1051.

The same principle is used to generate the configuration data of the SGSN side. The basic configuration data of the SGSN and the basic configuration data of the RNC are required. That is, the SGSN side configuration data includes two signaling links, and the signaling link corresponds to the a port. IP address 10.1.0.1:1024 and b port IP address 10.1.0.2:1024, the IP address and port number of the two communication ports that communicate with the transport network 1, ie: c port address is 10.1.1.1:1050, d port The address is 10.0.1.1.2:1051, and the IP address of the port A on the RNC side is 10.0.0.1:1023, the address of the B port is 10.0.0.1:1024, and the address of the C port is 10.0.1.1:1033. The port address is 10.0.0.1:1034 and the E port address is 10.0.0.3:1035.

After generating the configuration data, the configuration command that can be identified by the RNC side is generated according to the configuration data on the RNC side, and the configuration command is sent to the RNC side, and the configuration command that can be recognized by the SGSN side is generated according to the configuration data on the SGSN side, and Send configuration commands to the SGSN side.

After receiving the configuration command on the RNC side, the RNC side itself performs the following configuration steps:

1. Configure signaling point 10;

2. Configure signaling point 20;

3. Configure the link set, that is, the link set from the signaling point 10 to the signaling point 20;

4. Configure the IP address of port A as: 10.0.0.1:1023.

5. Configure the signaling link from the corresponding port of 10.0.0.1:1023 address to the corresponding port of 10.1.0.1:1024 address;

4. Configure the IP address of the B port as: 10.0.0.1 : 1024;

6. Configure the signaling link from the corresponding port of 10.0.0.1:1024 address to the corresponding port of 10.1.0.2:1024 address;

7. Configure the user plane to transmit neighbors, ie: transport network 1;

8. Configuring a network device that transmits a neighboring point reachable to the signaling point 20;

9. Configure the IP address of the C port to be 10.0.1.1:1033.

10, configure the IP address 10.0.1.1:1033 reachable transmission network 1;

11. Configure the IP address of the D port to be 10.0.1.2:1034.

12, configure the IP address 10.0.1.2: 1034 reachable transmission network 1;

13. Configure the IP address of the E port to be 10.0.1.3:1035.

14. Configure the IP address 10.0.1.3: 1035 reachable transmission network 1.

After the SGSN side receives the configuration command, the SGSN side itself performs the following configuration steps:

1. Configure the source signaling point 20;

2. Configure the destination signaling point 10;

3. Configure the link set 1: from signaling point 20 to signaling point 10;

4. Configure the IP address of port a to be 10.1.0.1:1024. 5. Configure the signaling link: from 10.1.0.1: 1024 address corresponding port to 10.0.0.1:1023 address corresponding port;

6. Configure the b port IP address to be 10.1.0.2:1024;

7. Configure the signaling link: from 10.1.0.2: 1024 address corresponding port to 10.0.0.1: 1024 address corresponding port;
