Description

Service configuration method, equipment and server

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a service configuration method, a device, and a server.

Background

The inter-provincial dedicated line service is usually activated by a controller server of the backbone network issuing a service configuration command to the edge device of the backbone network, so that the edge device of the backbone network performs service configuration.

There is no interface between the existing group IP radio access network (IP ran) coordinator server and backbone network controller server, and the group IP ran coordinator server cannot send related configuration parameters to the edge device of the backbone network. After the relevant configuration parameters need to be manually determined, a configuration command is manually issued to the edge device of the backbone network through the controller server of the backbone network, so that the edge device of the backbone network performs service configuration. However, the time required for manually determining the relevant configuration is long, so that the inter-provincial private line service opening speed is slow.

Then, a configuration command carrying the service parameters is issued to the connected third-party network management servers respectively. For example, the group ip ran coordinator server 200 issues a configuration command carrying service parameters to the third-party network management server 301 in province a and the third-party network management server 302 in province Z. After the service configuration is completed, the corporate ip ran coordinator server 200 may present end-to-end service path monitoring.

The third-party network management server 302 in Z province issues a configuration command carrying service parameters to the IPRAN devices involved in the service in the managed IPRAN device group 502 in Z province. After determining that both the ip ran device and the backbone network device involved in the service complete the service configuration, the third-party network management server 300 notifies the group ip ran coordinator server 200 that the service configuration is completed. The third-party webmaster server 300 may perform the service configuration method described below.

The service configuration method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the inter-provincial private line service configuration system shown in fig. 1 and the edge device 610 of the backbone network shown in fig. 2.

As shown in fig. 3, the service configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes:

s301, the edge device 510 of the IPRAN obtains a service parameter of a service to be provisioned.

The service parameters of the service to be opened at least comprise a service ID of the service to be opened and a service VLAN number of the service to be opened.

Illustratively, the service to be activated is an inter-provincial private line service from province a to province Z. The edge device 510 of the IPRAN is an IPRAN-Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR) device. The third-party network management server 301 in province a issues a configuration command to the IPRAN-ASBR device in province a, and the IPRAN-ASBR in province a completes service configuration according to the configuration command and acquires service parameters of a service to be opened. Correspondingly, the third-party network management server 302 in Z province issues a configuration command to the IPRAN-ASBR device in Z province, and the IPRAN-ASBR in Z province completes service configuration according to the configuration command and acquires service parameters of the service to be opened.

S302, the third party network management server 300 determines that the edge device 510 of the IPRAN has completed service configuration.

Illustratively, after completing the service configuration, the IPRAN-ASBR device in a province sends a message indicating that the IPRAN-ASBR device in a province has completed the service configuration to the third-party network management server 301 in a province, and the third-party network management server 301 in a province determines that the IPRAN-ASBR device in a province has completed the service configuration according to the message. Correspondingly, after completing the service configuration, the IPRAN-ASBR device in Z province sends a message indicating that the IPRAN-ASBR device in Z province has completed the service configuration to the third party network management server 302 in Z province, and the third party network management server 302 in Z province determines that the IPRAN-ASBR device in Z province has completed the service configuration according to the message.

S303, the third party network management server 300 sends a first message to the edge device 510 of the IPRAN.

Correspondingly, the edge device 510 of the IPRAN receives the first message sent by the third party network management server 300.

The first message is used to instruct the edge device 510 of the IPRAN to send a service parameter and a network parameter of a service to be provisioned to the edge device 610 of the backbone network, where the service parameter of the service to be provisioned at least includes a service ID of the service to be provisioned and a service VLAN number of the service to be provisioned, the network parameter at least includes an IP address of a target interface of the edge device 510 of the IPRAN and an IP address mask of a target interface of the edge device 510 of the IPRAN, and the target interface is an interface, among the interfaces of the edge device 510 of the IPRAN, interconnected with the edge device 610 of the backbone network.

Optionally, the network parameter may further include a VPN instance name. The VPN instance is the VPN instance to which the edge device 610 of the backbone network is to bind. The VPN instance names to which the edge device 610 of the backbone network is to bind may also be stored in the configuration template. When the VPN instance name is already stored in the configuration template, the network parameters may not include the VPN instance name.

Illustratively, the third party webmaster server 301 in province a sends a first message to the IPRAN-ASBR device in province a. Correspondingly, the third-party network management server 302 in Z province sends a first message to the IPRAN-ASBR device in Z province.

S304, the edge device 510 of the IPRAN sends the service parameter and the network parameter of the service to be provisioned to the edge device 610 of the backbone network.

Correspondingly, the edge device 610 of the backbone network receives the service parameter and the network parameter of the service to be provisioned, which are sent by the edge device 510 of the IPRAN.

In practical application, the edge device 510 of the IPRAN may send a message carrying the service parameters and network parameters of the service to be provisioned to the edge device 610 of the backbone network. Such as Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). The LLDP packet carrying the service parameters and network parameters of the service to be provisioned may be referred to as a special LLDP packet. The standard structure of the LLDP packet is shown in table 1, and includes: destination MAC address, source MAC address, ethertype, chatsis ID TLV (for announcing the chatsis ID of the sender of the LLDPDU), Port ID TLV (for identifying the Port of the device sending the LLDPDU), Time to live TLV (for telling the receiving End how long the validity period of these information it receives), End of LLDP DU TLV (indicating the End of LLDP), and optional TLV. The optional TLV may add multiple TLV data. TLVs are the main data formats in LLDP, and the data types of TLVs are shown in table 2, and include: TLV type, TLV data part length, TLV data part. The TLV data of TLV types 9-126 is editable. Therefore, the service parameter and the network parameter of the service to be opened can be added into the TLV data with the TLV types of 9-126, and then the TLV data added with the service parameter and the network parameter of the service to be opened is added into the optional TLV of the LLDP message. For example, the service ID of the service to be provisioned is added to TLV data of TLV type 100. And adding the service VLAN number of the service to be opened into TLV data with the TLV type of 101. The name of the to-be-VPN instance is added to TLV data with TLV type 103, the IP address of the target interface of the edge device 510 of the IPRAN is added to TLV data with TLV type 104, and the IP address of the target interface of the edge device 510 of the IPRAN is added to TLV data with TLV type 105. The VPN instance name may not be added to the LLDP message when it is already stored in the configuration template.

Illustratively, the backbone network is an IP bearer a network, and the edge device 610 of the backbone network is a Provider Edge (PE) device of the IP bearer a network. And the IPRAN-ASBR equipment in the province A adds the service parameters and the network parameters of the service to be opened into the LLDP message to generate a special LLDP message. And the IPRAN-ASBR equipment in the province A sends a special LLDP message carrying the service parameters and the network parameters of the service to be opened to the PE equipment of the IP bearing network A connected with the IPRAN-ASBR equipment. Correspondingly, the IPRAN-ASBR equipment in Z province adds the service parameters and the network parameters of the service to be opened into the LLDP message to generate a special LLDP message. And the IPRAN-ASBR equipment in Z province sends a special LLDP message carrying the service parameters and the network parameters of the service to be opened to the PE equipment of the IP bearing A network connected with the IPRAN-ASBR equipment.

S305, the edge device 610 of the backbone network configures the service according to the pre-stored configuration template, the service parameter of the service to be opened and the network parameter.

In practical application, after receiving the special LLDP message sent by the edge device 510 of the IPRAN, the edge device 610 of the backbone network performs TLV analysis on the special LLDP message to obtain the service parameter and the network parameter of the service to be activated. Then, the edge device 610 of the backbone network generates a configuration command according to the service parameters and the network parameters of the service to be provisioned obtained through analysis and a pre-stored configuration template. Finally, the edge device 610 of the backbone network performs service configuration according to the configuration command. After completing the service configuration, the edge device 610 of the backbone network reports configuration information to the backbone network controller server 400, where the reported configuration information at least includes service parameters of a service to be provisioned.

The pre-stored configuration templates may be determined by specific configuration instructions (commands) from the backbone edge device vendor. The pre-stored configuration template can generate a configuration command according to the service parameters and the network parameters of the service to be opened.

Examples of pre-stored configuration templates are as follows, and the specific configuration template may be determined according to the specific instructions of the factory device:

interface gigabit Ethernet xx/xx/xx.xx// configuration port number xx/xx/xx.xx

VLAN-type dot1q xx// service VLAN number xx for configuring service to be opened

Binding an interface on a PE with a VPN instance xx

IP address xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx// configuring IP address xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.and IP address sub-mask xx.xx.xx.xx.xx..

Illustratively, after receiving a special LLDP message sent by the IPRAN-ASBR device of province a, the PE device of the IP bearer a network connected to the IPRAN-ASBR device of province a performs TLV analysis on the special LLDP message to obtain a service parameter and a network parameter of a service to be provisioned. And then, generating a configuration command according to the service parameters and the network parameters of the service to be opened obtained by analysis and a pre-stored configuration template. And finally, carrying out service configuration according to the configuration command. Correspondingly, after the PE equipment of the IP bearing A network connected with the IPRAN-ASBR equipment of Z province receives the special LLDP message sent by the IPRAN-ASBR equipment of Z province, TLV analysis is carried out on the special LLDP message, and the service parameter and the network parameter of the service to be opened are obtained. And then, generating a configuration command according to the service parameters and the network parameters of the service to be opened obtained by analysis and a pre-stored configuration template. And finally, carrying out service configuration according to the configuration command.

It can be seen from the above steps (S301-S305) that the service configuration method provided by the present invention does not need to manually determine the relevant configuration parameters, and also does not need to issue the configuration command to the edge device 610 of the backbone network. The service configuration can be performed by combining the pre-stored configuration template with the relevant configuration parameters sent by the edge device 510 of the IPRAN. Therefore, the time for determining the relevant configuration is reduced, the time for opening the inter-provincial special line service is shortened, and the opening speed of the inter-provincial special line service is increased. The service configuration method provided by the invention can be realized through the existing interface without developing a new interface (an interface for connecting the IPRAN coordinator server and the backbone network controller server), thereby avoiding the problems of long interface design period, long interface development period, unclear maintenance boundary and the like caused by developing the new interface.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 4, the service configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes:
