Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
As shown in fig. 1, the method for accessing a large-scale remote zero configuration device to a network manager in this embodiment includes the steps of:
s101, for all zero configuration devices to be accessed to a network manager, one of the zero configuration devices is configured to be a proxy server (server role), and the rest zero configuration devices are used as clients, that is, all the rest zero configuration devices in the network are defaulted to be client roles.
S102, a management channel between the proxy server and the next-level client is established through a service distribution protocol, and the management channel between the connected clients is established step by step through the service distribution protocol. After the management channel is opened, the proxy server, the next-stage client and the two connected stages of clients send LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) frames to each other in the management channel, and the proxy server and each client respectively discover neighbors and store neighbor information in the management channel through a private LLDP Protocol.
Specifically, the neighbor information is obtained through an LLDP frame sent from the peer, and the neighbor information is recorded or updated in real time, where the payload content of the LLDP frame is as follows: the equipment name + the equipment MAC + the interface number of the received protocol frame + the service information; the recorded content of the neighbour information thus comprises: the device name + the device MAC + the interface number of the received protocol frame + the service information, where the device refers to a zero configuration device that sends neighbor information.
And S103, the network management server collects neighbor information of the whole network through the proxy server to form a network topological graph, and manages the selected client according to the network topological graph. In this embodiment, a graphical network management server is adopted.
Specifically, the network management server adopts an IP management proxy server, reads neighbor information of the proxy server, and records the neighbor information to a local database. In addition, the network management server reads the neighbor information of each client in sequence through the proxy server, namely obtains the MAC address of the neighbor device from the neighbor information of the proxy server, and then reads the neighbor information from the telnet MAC to the next-level client, so that the neighbor information of the whole network is collected in a step-by-step discovery mode and is also recorded into the local database.
All the neighbor information of the zero configuration device accessing the network is stored in the local database of the network management server, and as shown in fig. 2, the network management server draws a detailed network topology map according to the neighbor information of all the zero configuration devices. Through the algorithm, the loop which may exist in the network and the position where the loop may appear can be calculated, the user is reminded, and the influence on the service after the project is opened is avoided. After the network topology map is generated, the network management server can perform network management on the selected zero configuration device.
Based on the foregoing embodiments, the step of establishing a management channel between the proxy server and the next-level client through the private service distribution protocol module is described in detail in this embodiment.
Firstly, a first LLDP module is arranged in the proxy server, and a second LLDP module is arranged at the client.
Then, the proxy server sends the service information of the management channel downwards, and simultaneously informs the first LLDP module of the service information.
And the next-level client receives the service information, if the client is not connected with other clients, the service information is issued to the zero-configuration equipment hardware where the client is located as long as the client is notified of the service information by a second LLDP module of the client, so that an upward management channel is opened. And if the client is connected with other clients, receiving the service information, forwarding the service information downwards in the original shape, simultaneously notifying a second LLDP module of the client, and issuing the service information to zero-configuration equipment hardware where the client is located so as to open an upward management channel.
At this time, the management channel between the proxy server and the next-level client is opened, the proxy server and the next-level client send LLDP frames in the management channel, and obtain and record neighbor information according to the received LLDP frames, and record the MAC address of the proxy server.
Based on the above embodiments, the step of establishing the management channel between the clients step by step through the private service distribution protocol module is described in detail in this embodiment.
In addition, the client at the current stage receives the service information issued by the client at the previous stage, and if the client at the next stage exists, the service information is forwarded downwards and announced to a second LLDP module of the client at the current stage; if no next-level client exists, only the second LLDP module of the current-level client is notified, so that an upward management channel is opened, and the downward forwarding is not carried out any more.
When a plurality of stages of clients are connected, a management channel is opened stage by stage at one stage, after the management channel is opened, the upper stage of client and the lower stage of client send LLDP frames in the management channel, and obtain and record neighbor information according to the received LLDP frames, and record the MAC address of the proxy server.
After the network topology is completed, another embodiment is provided to explain in detail the step of the network management server managing the selected client according to the network topology.
S201, the network management server obtains the MAC address and the service information of the client (zero configuration equipment) needing to be managed from the local database. And then sending an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Protocol message of the three-layer channel to the proxy server, wherein the SNMP Protocol message carries the equipment MAC and the service information of the selected client.
S202, after receiving the SNMP message, the proxy server packages the SNMP message into a two-layer channel and sends the SNMP message to a corresponding client.
S203, the corresponding client receives the two-layer channel protocol frame, records the service information in the two-layer channel protocol frame, decapsulates the two-layer channel protocol frame, restores the SNMP message and processes the SNMP message.
S204, because the SNMP message of the response lacks IP information, the message can be encapsulated into a two-layer channel again, the target MAC is changed from the equipment MAC to the proxy server MAC, and the service information is recorded information and then is sent back from the receiving port.
S205, after receiving the two-layer channel protocol frame replied by the corresponding client, the proxy server restores the SNMP message, fills in the IP information of the network management server and the IP address of the proxy server, encapsulates the SNMP message into the SNMP protocol message of the three-layer channel again and sends the SNMP protocol message to the network management server. At this point, a network management process ends.
Based on the above process, if the remote zero configuration device sends the alarm and TRAP information, the mode is the same as the process of the zero configuration device responding the SNMP message in step S204.
In other embodiments, if one device is spanned between the proxy server and the client, if the spanned device does not support the transmission method of the present invention, the device does not analyze the service information, the LLDP frame, and the SNMP management packet sent by the proxy server, but directly transmits the packet to the client, and then the client performs transmission according to the above process, and the client can be regarded as a next-level client of the proxy server.
As shown in fig. 3, based on the foregoing embodiment, a system embodiment for accessing a large-scale remote zero configuration device to a network manager is also provided. The system for accessing the large-scale remote zero configuration equipment to the network management comprises a network management server and a plurality of accessed zero configuration equipment, wherein one zero configuration equipment is configured as a proxy server (server), and the other zero configuration equipment is used as a client (client). In this embodiment, there is only one proxy server and one next-level client.
A management channel established by a service distribution protocol is arranged between the proxy server and the next-level client, and the proxy server and the client are respectively used for acquiring neighbor information in the management channel through a private LLDP protocol. The network management server is used for collecting neighbor information of the whole network through the proxy server, recording the neighbor information to the local database, drawing a network topological graph according to the information recorded in the local database, and managing the selected client according to the network topological graph.
The proxy server comprises a first service distribution protocol module and a first LLDP module, and the client comprises a second service distribution protocol module and a second LLDP module. A service channel is arranged between the first service distribution protocol module and the second service distribution protocol module of the client.
Specifically, the first service distribution protocol module issues service information to the second service distribution protocol module through the service channel, and meanwhile, the first service distribution protocol module notifies the first LLDP module of the service information; and after receiving the service information, the second service distribution protocol module informs the second LLDP module of the service information and opens up a management channel between the two LLDP modules.
The first LLDP module and the second LLDP module send LLDP frames to each other in a communicated management channel, and acquire and record neighbor information according to the LLDP frames sent from opposite ends in the management channel; and the client stores the MAC address of the proxy server.
And the network management server generates a network topological graph according to all the collected neighbor information and manages any client in the graph.
The proxy server also comprises a first message conversion module and a first SNMP protocol stack, and the client comprises a second message conversion module and a second SNMP protocol stack. The network management server sends the SNMP protocol message carrying the MAC address and the service information of the target equipment to the proxy server through the three-layer channel, and the first message conversion module packages the SNMP management message into the two-layer channel to form a two-layer channel protocol frame and sends the two-layer channel protocol frame to the corresponding client.
After receiving the two-layer channel protocol frame, the corresponding client decapsulates and restores the two-layer channel protocol frame into an SNMP message which is sent to a second SNMP protocol stack for processing, the second SNMP protocol stack finishes processing and encapsulates the SNMP message into the two-layer channel protocol frame, and the target MAC address is set as a proxy server MAC address and then sent back from the received port.
After receiving the replied two-layer channel protocol frame, the proxy server decapsulates and converts the recovered SNMP message, fills the IP information of the network management server and the IP address of the proxy server, and sends the IP information and the IP address to the network management server.
In addition, when the network management server manages the proxy server, the network management server sends an SNMP management message to the proxy server, and the first SNMP protocol stack is used for processing the SNMP management message.
As shown in fig. 4, another embodiment of a system for providing access to a network management by a large-scale remote zero-configuration device is provided, and this embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that in this embodiment, two stages of clients, namely a client a and a client B, are provided, and a service channel is provided between second service distribution protocol modules of the two interconnected clients.
In this embodiment, the proxy server issues the service information through the service channel via the first service distribution protocol module, the second service distribution protocol module of the client a receives the service information and forwards the service information to the second service distribution protocol module of the client B, and meanwhile, the second service distribution protocol module of the client a notifies the second LLDP module of the service information, so as to open the management channel between the client a and the proxy server, and the client a stores the MAC address of the proxy server. At this time, the client a and the proxy server respectively obtain and record neighbor information according to the LLDP frame sent from the opposite end in the management channel.
And after receiving the service information sent by the client, the second service distribution protocol module of the client B informs the second LLDP module of the service information, and a management channel between the client B and the client A is opened. At this time, the client A and the client B respectively obtain and record neighbor information according to the LLDP frame sent from the opposite end in the management channel.
When the management server needs to manage the client B, the network management server sends an SNMP protocol message carrying the MAC address and the service information of the client B to the proxy server through the three-layer channel, and the proxy server encapsulates the SNMP management message into a two-layer channel protocol frame and directly sends the two-layer channel protocol frame to the client B. It should be noted that, for better clarity, the client B in fig. 2 only shows the second service distribution protocol module and the second LLDP module.
In the above embodiment, the proxy server and the client default to operate the SNMP protocol including the private part, the SNMP protocol increases the conversion between the three-layer channel and the two-layer channel, the LLDP protocol including the private part increases the support of broadcast messages, and the transmission of neighbor information in multiple service channels is increased, so as to penetrate the network of others, and a private service distribution protocol (as client) and a private two-layer channel protocol are added.
By setting the proxy server, when the proxy server issues the service information, a management channel is established through a private service distribution protocol module, the next-level client gets through the upward management channel while receiving the service information, the neighbor information is obtained through the LLDP module, and meanwhile, the previous-level client and the proxy server can also obtain the neighbor information in the management channel. Therefore, the network management server can acquire the neighbor information of the proxy server through the IP management proxy server and sequentially acquire the neighbor information of the clients through the proxy server, and accordingly a network topology map is generated, so that the network management server can manage the selected clients in the map according to the network topology map. The method and the system can enable the remote zero configuration equipment to be accessed to the network management server without any operation, save a large amount of project opening time and greatly reduce the project cost.
