Fig. 4 is the flow chart of the recovery element configuration data file that provides of the embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in Figure 4, step comprises:
Step 400: start to recover the configuration data file on network element;
Step 410: network element is set up communication linkage to the file server requests configured;
Step 420: by the communication linkage of setting up, network element is to file server requests element configuration data file;
Step 430: file server is sent to network element by the element configuration data file;
Step 440: file server completes all transmission that need the element configuration data file of recovery, and concerns communication linkage;
Step 450: network element finishes to recover the element configuration data file.
Fig. 5 is the backup that provides of the embodiment of the present invention and the system block diagram that recovers configuration data file on network element, as shown in Figure 5, comprising:
File server, be used for preserving the element configuration data file;
Network element, for configuration file server information, and when configuration data change event occurs, after predetermined time delay, element configuration data file backup after according to described file server information, configuration data being changed is to described file server, and, when needs recover the element configuration data file, the element configuration data file backed up to described file server requests, return to the element configuration data file backed up on file server on network element.
Wherein, described network element comprises:
Dispensing unit, for preserving the file server information that comprises file server address and file server account of configuration;
The data backup unit, for when described configuration data change event occurs, after the predetermined time delay of depending on configuration modification timer and data backup back off timer, the element configuration data file backup after configuration data is changed is to described file server;
Data recovery unit, for when needs recover the element configuration data file, the file server information and the described file server that utilize described dispensing unit to preserve establish a communications link, and the element configuration data file backed up to file server requests by described communication connection, the configuration data file backed up on file server is returned on network element;
Configuration modification back off timer and data backup back off timer, for the element configuration data file after the backup configuration data change.Mean respectively described configuration modification back off timer and described data backup back off timer with T1 and T2, the condition that backup occurs is that configuration data modification event occurs, and at a time configuration data has been revised, so T1 triggers.T1 triggers and that is to say, during overtime the expiring of T1 set timer, backup operation will occur; A moment when T1 does not also expire, the condition of configuration modification occurs again, so T1 has been reset, that is to say the backup operation overtime Shi Caihui of the expiring generation of T1 set timer excessively again, if always backup operation, can not occur in configuration modification before overtime the expiring of T1 set timer always; In order to solve this situation, T2 is set, namely the longest overtime, no matter within a certain period of time the configuration modification of how many times occurred, just be provided with max-timeout T2 when configuration modification for the first time, revised configuration even follow-up, if it is overtime that the T1 timer does not have,, when max-timeout T2 timer expiry expires, trigger backup operation, guaranteed in the situation that repeatedly revise configuration data, the triggering backup operation.
The workflow of described system is as follows:
Step 501: the file server of configuration network element configures the necessary informations such as file server address, file server account number of network element, and, according to user's request, the configuration of file server is saved in configuring area or configuration file.
Step 502: the time delay of the condition backup of configuration network element and the maximum delay of condition backup, configure the duration of configuration modification back off timer of network element and the duration of data backup back off timer, and, according to user's request, the configuration of the condition of network element backup is saved in configuring area or configuration file.
Step 503: after the configuration data of network element is changed, check the configuration modification back off timer, if exist the described configuration modification back off timer of resetting if there is no generates the configuration modification back off timer, its duration is set and starts; And check the data backup back off timer, if there is no, generated data backup back off timer, arrange its duration and start.
Step 504: after the configuration modification back off timer is overtime, start the backup network elements configuration data file, after backing up successfully, cancel the data backup back off timer.
Step 505: after the data backup back off timer is overtime, start the backup network elements configuration data file, after backing up successfully, cancel the configuration modification back off timer.
Step 506: when the needs recovery file, the configuration data file that network element has backed up to file server requests, return to the configuration data file backed up on network element.Particularly, when network element needs the recovery configuring data file, at first, the file server transmission linking request to configuration, after setting up communication linkage, send account to file server; File server receives that account passes through checking, successfully sets up communication linkage.Then, by the communication linkage of setting up, network element is sent to network element to the element configuration data file from file server to file server requests; Finally, after file server transmits all element configuration data files that will recover to network element, the communication close link.
In sum, when the file system corruption on network element or the situation of collapse occur, the user, after the file system of repairing network element, can again recover the element configuration data file backed up, thereby guarantee that network element can work from file server under the catalogue of appointment.
Although above the present invention is had been described in detail, the invention is not restricted to this, those skilled in the art of the present technique can carry out various modifications according to principle of the present invention.Therefore, all modifications of doing according to the principle of the invention, all should be understood to fall into protection scope of the present invention.
