Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a network manager, and a system for determining configuration information.
Background
With the rapid development of communication technology, a network element in a communication network often has board upgrade or expansion operation of a board of the network element, such as: increasing the number of ports of the board, increasing the speed of the ports of the board, increasing the functions realized by the board, etc., requires replacing the board with the configuration at present. There are roughly two types of single plate replacement methods in the related art, and for the first method, the following steps are included:
step 1, manually backing up network element data for rollback use after the plate replacement fails.
And 2, manually transferring the related services on the single board to other single boards or manually deleting and cleaning.
And 3, manually removing the related basic configuration of the single board on the original single board by a method for issuing the associated removal through network management pulling. So as to avoid the abnormal data of the new single board due to the related configuration of the original single board.
And 4, manually pulling the equipment.
And step 5, the network manager performs the plug-in operation of the new single board to generate the relevant basic configuration of the new single board. And then plugging and unplugging the equipment manually.
And 6, manually migrating the service which is migrated back or reconfiguring the deleted configuration.
For the second method, specifically: and directly restoring to the corresponding port number of the replaced single board according to the corresponding port number of the single board before replacement. If the number of the ports of the single board before replacement is larger than that of the ports after replacement, only the relevant configuration of the ports existing after replacement is recovered, and the port configuration which does not exist after replacement of the single board is discarded.
It should be noted that, for the first method, a large number of configuration operations need to be performed manually, which is inefficient, and once an abnormality occurs in the manual operation process, a large number of manual operations are also needed for rollback; for the second method, although the probability of error is reduced, it cannot be guaranteed that the related configurations of the single boards can be normally recovered in all scenes, the ports are fixed in one-to-one correspondence when the configurations are recovered, and the data recovery is not flexible enough.
In view of the above technical problems in the related art, no effective solution has been proposed at present.

The embodiment of the present application may operate on the network architecture shown in fig. 2, as shown in fig. 2, the network architecture includes: the network management system comprises network element equipment and a network manager, wherein the network manager and the network element equipment can interact with each other.
In this embodiment, a method for determining configuration information running on the computer terminal or the network architecture is provided, and fig. 3 is a flowchart of the method for determining configuration information according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the flowchart includes the following steps:
step S302, receiving a board change completion instruction for indicating that a first single board on network element equipment is switched to a second single board;
step S304, determining the configuration information of the second board according to the configuration information of the network element device backed up by the network manager in advance and the first neighbor information of each port of the first board.
Through the above steps, since the network manager backups the configuration information of the network element device and the first neighbor information of each port of the first board in advance, after receiving the board change completion instruction that the network element device is changed from the first board to the second board, the configuration information of the second board can be determined according to the configuration information of the network element device backed up in advance and the first neighbor information of each port of the first board, and the process of determining the configuration information of the second board is not manually completed, thereby automatically determining the configuration information of the second board, saving the time for recovering the configuration information, and solving the problem of low efficiency of recovering the configuration information when the boards are switched in the related art.
It should be noted that, the configuration information of the network element device may include configuration information of each port corresponding to each board in the network element device, but is not limited thereto; the first neighbor information may include: the local port information, the peer MAC address information, and the version information of the peer network element device, but not limited thereto.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the step S304 may be represented as: matching first neighbor information of each port of a first single board with second neighbor information of each port of a second single board to obtain a matching result; generating a corresponding relation between each port of the first single board and each port of the second single board according to the matching result; and determining the configuration information of the second single board according to the corresponding relation and the configuration information of the network element equipment.
It should be noted that the correspondence relationship may include: and under the condition that the matching result is that the first neighbor information of the first designated port of the first single board is consistent with the second neighbor information of the second designated port of the second single board, the first designated port corresponds to the second designated port.
It should be noted that, the determining the configuration information of the second board according to the corresponding relationship and the configuration information of the network element device may be represented as: and setting the configuration information of the first designated port in the configuration information of the network element equipment as the configuration information of the second designated port.
The first neighbor information and the second neighbor information are compared to generate a corresponding relationship between each port of the first board and each port of the second board, so that the corresponding relationship between each port of the first board and each port of the second board is not fixed any more, and further, the configuration information of the second board is more flexible when determined.
For example, the number of the ports is 8, and the ports are numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8; the number of the ports of the first single board is 4, and the ports are numbered as 1, 2, 5 and 7 respectively; the number of the ports of the second single board is 4, and the numbers of the ports are 1, 2, 3 and 4; in the related art, the corresponding relationship between the general ports is fixed, that is, the port 1 used by the first board corresponds to the port 1 used by the second board, and the port 2 used by the first board corresponds to the port 2 used by the second board, that is, the configuration information of the port 1 and the port 2 used by the second board is directly the configuration information of the port 1 and the port 2 used by the first board, and for the port 5 and the port 7 used by the first board, because the second board is not used, the configuration information corresponding to the port 5 and the port 7 is directly deleted, and the configuration information of the port 3 and the port 4 used by the second board uses a default value; the method in this embodiment focuses on comparing the neighbor information of the port 1, the port 2, the port 5, and the port 7 used by the first board with the neighbor information of the port 1, the port 2, the port 3, and the port 4 used by the second board, if the neighbor information of the port 1 used by the first board is consistent with the neighbor information of the port 3 used by the second board, the configuration information of the port 3 used by the second board is the neighbor information of the port 1 used by the first board, if the neighbor information of the port 2 used by the first board is consistent with the neighbor information of the port 1 used by the second board, the configuration information of the port 1 used by the second board is the neighbor information of the port 2 used by the first board, if the neighbor information of the port 5 used by the first board is consistent with the neighbor information of the port 2 used by the second board, the configuration information of the port 2 used by the second board is the neighbor information of the port 5 used by the first board, if the neighbor information of the port 7 used by the first board is consistent with the neighbor information of the port 4 used by the second board, the configuration information of the port 4 used by the second board is the neighbor information of the port 7 used by the first board. This example is intended to illustrate the present embodiment and is not intended to be limiting.
It should be noted that, if there is a port that does not correspond to the port used by the first board in the port corresponding to the second board, the port that does not correspond uses a default value to generate the configuration information of the port. For example, in the above example, the neighbor information of the port 4 used by the second board is different from the neighbor information of the port 1, the port 2, the port 5, and the port 7 used by the first board, and then the configuration information of the port 4 used by the second board is generated by a default value.
In an embodiment of the present invention, before matching the first neighbor information with the second neighbor information of each port of the second board to obtain a matching result, the method may further include: judging whether all cable connections corresponding to the second single board are normal or not; and under the condition of normal connection, matching the first neighbor information with second neighbor information of each port of the second single board to obtain a matching result.
It should be noted that, the above determining whether all cable connections corresponding to the second board are normal may be performed by detecting whether all neighbors of each port of the second board are connected normally, specifically, by detecting whether the number of neighbors and the names of the neighbors of the second board are consistent with the number of neighbors and the names of the neighbors backed up in advance, if so, it is considered that all the neighbors are connected normally, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
In an embodiment of the present invention, before the step S304, the method may further include: detecting whether the connection state of the second single board is normal; and determining the configuration information of the second single board according to the configuration information of the network element equipment pre-backed up by the network manager and the first neighbor information of each port of the first single board under the condition that the connection state of the second single board is normal. That is, before determining the configuration information of the second board, it is necessary to query whether the second board is normally on-line.
In an embodiment of the present invention, after the step S304, the method may further include: sending the determined configuration information of the second single board to the network element equipment; and/or storing the determined configuration information of the second single board in a database of the network manager. By the steps, the consistency of the network element equipment and the network management data can be ensured.
In an embodiment of the present invention, before the step S302, the method may further include: receiving a switching instruction for indicating to switch the first single board to the second single board; and backing up the configuration information of the network element equipment and the neighbor information of each port of the first single board. By backing up the configuration information of the network element equipment, any step in the process of the board changing operation has a problem, the backed-up data can be used for recovering the original data, and the operation risk is greatly reduced.
It should be noted that, after backing up the configuration information of the network element device and the neighbor information of each port of the first board, the method may further include: after receiving a first instruction for indicating that a first single board on a network manager is pulled out, deleting configuration information of the first single board on the network manager; and sending a second instruction for indicating to pull out the first single board and/or deleting the configuration information of the first single board on the network element equipment to the network element equipment. This step prevents the configuration information of the first board from affecting the data of the second board after the second board is inserted.
It should be noted that the first board on the network management is a logical board of the first board on the network element device, and the first board on the network element device is an actual board.
The main body of executing the above steps may be the mobile terminal, the computer terminal, etc. shown in fig. 1, or may be the network manager in the network architecture shown in fig. 2, but is not limited thereto.
For a better understanding of the present invention, the present invention is further explained below with reference to preferred examples.
The preferred embodiment of the invention provides a method for intelligently recovering single board switching configuration to replace the single board switching process in the prior art. Starting the single board switching function for the single board to be switched, at this time, the network manager will make a full backup for the network element configuration information and make a backup for the neighbor information. After the backup work is finished, the network manager automatically switches the original single board into the replaced single board. At this time, the equipment performs the plate replacing operation and connects the corresponding cables. The network manager will query the state and neighbor information of the single board at regular time. When the single board is in a normal state, the original single board port is matched with the new single board port through the neighbor information, and after the matching is completed, the network manager automatically generates the configuration related to the new single board and downloads the issuing equipment.
Fig. 4 is a schematic main flow chart of a method for determining configuration information according to a limited embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, which mainly includes the following steps:
step S401, starting a single board switching function;
step S402, network element data backup and single board connection neighbor information backup;
step S403, deleting data of the original board (corresponding to the first board), and inserting a new board (corresponding to the second board);
step S404, calculating new single board configuration information according to the new and old single board information (equivalent to the step S304);
step S405, the new single board configuration information is sent to the device.
Fig. 5 is a schematic specific flowchart of a method for determining configuration information according to a limited embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the method mainly includes:
the user selects the single board to be switched on the network manager, clicks the single board switching function, then selects the switched single board, clicks the confirmation, and starts the single board switching function.
After the switching function of the board is turned on, the network manager first performs data backup on the network element that needs to be switched, backups the network element information, backups the network element data on the network manager, and backups the LLDP neighbor information on the switched board (in the preferred embodiment, the LLDP neighbor query function is taken as an example, the method for acquiring the port neighbor information is not limited to using the LLDP neighbor query function).
After the network element information backup is completed, the network manager will execute the operation of pulling out the original single board and issue a board pulling command to the device for deleting the related configuration of the original single board. And then the network manager inserts the switched single board into the corresponding slot position, and prompts a user to switch the physical board to the equipment after the board insertion is successful.
The user inserts the switched board on the device (corresponding to step S302 in the above embodiment), and connects the corresponding cable. After determining whether to insert a click in a new single board interface on the network manager, the network manager periodically inquires whether the single board state on the equipment is normal or not by using a heartbeat message between the network manager and the equipment.
When the single board is in a normal state, the network manager will periodically query the LLDP neighbor information of each port of the single board according to the previous query period. When the neighbor information backed up before can be found, all cable connections are confirmed to be normal. If all neighbor information cannot be queried after 5 minutes, the user will be prompted to check the cable connection.
The LLDP neighbor information includes information such as a home port, an opposite MAC address, and an opposite device version. Comparing the LLDP neighbor information of each port of the original single board to the LLDP neighbor information of each port of the current single board, wherein the ports with the same neighbor information are considered as the ports corresponding to the single board before and after replacement. The single board configuration calculating unit of the network management calculates the configuration information of each port after the single board replacement according to the information of the single board before and after the replacement and the corresponding information of the ports before and after the replacement of the single board, and generates the unused port of the single board according to a default value (which is equivalent to step S304 in the above embodiment).
After the new single board data is generated, the user is prompted that the new single board data is calculated, the user clicks the issuing function, and the network manager issues the new single board data to the equipment through the downloading function.
And after the configuration is issued, the network manager enters the warehouse, and the board changing process is finished.
Compared with the prior art, the method of the preferred embodiment of the invention has the following advantages: the steps of manual operation are simplified, and the efficiency of veneer switching is improved. By using the method, only the switching of the off-line pipes needs to be manually clicked, and then the boards are manually changed when the board changing prompt appears, without other operations; the original configuration in use on the single board can be completely recovered. The situation that no configuration is lost before and after switching is achieved; after successful delivery, the network management database is accessed, so that the consistency of the equipment and the network management data can be ensured. And the network element data is backed up before the operation is started, the backup data can be used when any step is abnormal in the operation process, and the original data can be restored through the downloading function, so that the operation risk is greatly reduced.
Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiments can be implemented by software plus a necessary general hardware platform, and certainly can also be implemented by hardware, but the former is a better implementation mode in many cases. Based on such understanding, the technical solutions of the present invention may be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM/RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk) and includes instructions for enabling a terminal device (such as a mobile phone, a computer, a server, or a network device) to execute the method according to the embodiments of the present invention.
