Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a management system for a network device, where the management system includes:
the network device comprises a management device and a network device, and network connection can be established between the management device and the network device.
The network device includes a configuration database for storing configuration information. The network device operates according to the configuration information in the configuration database.
Alternatively, the network device may be a router or a switch, etc. The configuration information may be routing information of the network traffic, so that the network device forwards the network traffic according to the routing information of the network traffic stored in the configuration database when receiving the network traffic.
The routing information of the network traffic includes identification information and next hop information of the network traffic. For example, referring to the configuration database shown in table 1 below, it is assumed that the configuration database includes two pieces of configuration information, the first piece of configuration information is routing information of network traffic 1, including identification information "11" and next hop information "192.168.10.1" of network traffic 1; the second piece of configuration information is routing information of network traffic 2, including identification information "12" and next hop information "192.168.10.2" of network traffic 2. Thus, when receiving the network traffic 1, the network device forwards the network traffic 1 according to the first piece of configuration information, and when receiving the network traffic 2, the network device forwards the network traffic 2 according to the second piece of configuration information.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0002241836600000051
The management device may modify the configuration database of the network device using a set of configuration operations, and then the network device operates according to the modified configuration database. Because the configuration database before modification is different from the configuration database after modification, the running state of the network device running according to the configuration database before modification is different from the running state of the network device running according to the configuration information after modification.
Optionally, the set of configuration operations may include at least one of an adding operation for adding configuration information to the configuration database, a modifying operation for modifying configuration information in the configuration database, or a deleting operation for deleting configuration information in the configuration database, and the like.
In this way, the management device may add at least one piece of configuration information to the configuration database of the network device using an addition operation, or modify at least one piece of configuration information included in the configuration database of the network device using a modification operation, or delete at least one piece of configuration information included in the configuration database of the network device using a deletion operation, when modifying the configuration database of the network device.
Alternatively, the management device may modify the configuration database of the network device under the trigger of the administrator. Generally, when an administrator needs to change the operation state of a network device, the administrator can select a configuration operation to be performed in the management device. The management device then performs the configuration operation on the configuration database of the network device to effect modification of the configuration database of the network device. And the network equipment operates according to the modified configuration database, so that the operation state of the network equipment is changed.
For example, still taking the network traffic as an example, assuming that the administrator needs to adjust a forwarding path of the network device for forwarding the network traffic, the administrator may configure new routing information corresponding to the network traffic and a selected configuration operation in the management device as a modification operation. Then, the management device modifies the routing information of the network traffic stored in the configuration database of the network device into the new routing information, and when the network device receives the network traffic, the network device forwards the network traffic according to the new routing information stored in the configuration database, thereby realizing the adjustment of the forwarding path of the network traffic.
Alternatively, the management device may run a client for managing the network device, through which an administrator may modify the configuration database of the network device.
The administrator modifies the configuration database of the network device through the management device, and part of the content in the configuration database changes. The running state of the network device running according to the modified configuration database may be the same as the running state required by the administrator or different from the running state required by the administrator. When the running state of the network equipment is the same as the running state required by the administrator, the method indicates that the administrator modifies the configuration database correctly, and when the running state of the network equipment is different from the running state required by the administrator, the method indicates that the administrator modifies the configuration database of the network equipment wrongly. For example, still taking the network traffic as an example, the network device forwards the network traffic according to the new routing information stored in the configuration database, where a forwarding path of the network traffic is the same as a forwarding path expected by an administrator and indicates that the modification of the configuration database is correct, and a forwarding path of the network traffic is different from a forwarding path expected by an administrator and indicates that the modification of the configuration database is incorrect.
When the modification of the configuration database is wrong, the changed content in the configuration database needs to be recovered. In order to implement the recovery configuration database, a commissioning capability set may be defined in the network device, so that the network device has a commissioning function. The commissioning function is that after the configuration operation is performed on the configuration database of the network device, the network device may be run for a period of time according to the modified configuration database. If the configuration database is found to be modified incorrectly within the period of time, the management device may request the network device to recover the changed content in the configuration database.
In this way, the administrator may not be able to determine whether the configuration database is correctly modified when modifying the configuration database, so that after the administrator modifies the configuration database of the network device through the management device, the network device may try to run for a period of time according to the modified configuration database. In the period of commissioning, if the administrator finds that the running state of the network device is incorrect or the management device detects that the running state of the network device is incorrect, the administrator may trigger the network device to recover the changed content in the configuration database through the management device, or the management device directly triggers the network device to recover the changed content in the configuration database. In the period of commissioning, if the administrator finds that the operation state of the network device is correct or the management device detects that the operation state of the network device is correct, the administrator may confirm the modification of the configuration database through the management device, or the management device directly confirms the modification of the configuration database. After confirming the modification of the configuration database, the network device continues to operate according to the modified configuration database within the remaining time of the period of time and after the period of time is over. The detailed process flow of the test run can be referred to the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and will not be described in detail.
When modifying the configuration database, the administrator can determine that the modification of the configuration database is correct, and after modifying the configuration database, the network device operates according to the modified configuration database. After the network device operates for a period of time according to the modified configuration database, an administrator may need to restore the operating state of the network device to the operating state before modifying the configuration database, and to meet the requirement, a fallback capability set is defined in the network device, so that the network device has a fallback function. The rollback function is that after the configuration operation is performed on the configuration database of the network device, the network device can restore the content in the modified configuration database to the content stored in the configuration database before the configuration operation is performed.
Thus, the administrator can trigger the network device to restore the content of the configuration database to the content before modification through the management device, so that the running state of the network device is restored to the running state before modification of the configuration database. The detailed flow of the process can be seen in the embodiment shown in fig. 8, and will not be described in detail.
Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a management method for a network device, which may be applied to the network architecture shown in fig. 1. In the method, the content changed in the configuration database can be recovered by using a commissioning function of the network device. The method comprises the following steps:
step 101: the management equipment sends a configuration message to the network equipment, wherein the configuration message comprises a commissioning identifier, first identifier information, an operation type and an operation object of a configuration operation to be executed.
The first identification information is used for identifying the configuration operation, and the commissioning identification is used for indicating the network device to run according to the configuration database in the first state in the commissioning period corresponding to the configuration operation. The first state is a state that the configuration database of the network device is in after performing the configuration operation on the configuration database. The starting time of the commissioning period is the time for executing the configuration operation, and the time length of the commissioning period is equal to the time length threshold.
The configuration message may not include a commissioning identifier, and the management device further sends a commissioning request to the network device when sending the configuration message, or sends the commissioning request to the network device before sending the configuration message, where the commissioning request includes the first identifier information. The commissioning request is used for requesting the network device to run according to the configuration database in the first state in the commissioning period corresponding to the configuration operation.
The administrator may input to the management device an identification of the network device, an operation type and an operation object of the configuration operation, and first identification information for identifying the configuration operation. Then, the management device acquires the first identification information, the operation type and the operation object of the configuration operation, generates a configuration message comprising the commissioning identification, the first identification information, the operation type and the operation object of the configuration operation, and sends the configuration message to the network device according to the identification information of the network device; or generating a configuration message including the first identification information, the operation type of the configuration operation and the operation object, generating a commissioning request including the first identification information, sending the configuration message to the network device according to the identification information of the network device, and sending the commissioning request.
Optionally, the commissioning identifier may also be input into the management device by an administrator, or the management device includes the commissioning identifier. The identifier of the network device may be an Internet Protocol (IP) address and the like of the interconnection between the networks of the network device.
The commissioning identifier may be preset information, or may be information agreed in advance by the management device and the network device.
Optionally, under the condition that the configuration packet includes the commissioning identifier, the configuration packet further includes a duration threshold. Alternatively, the commissioning request further includes a duration threshold.
The duration threshold may be a threshold entered into the management device by the administrator. Alternatively, the time length threshold may be a threshold previously stored in the management apparatus.
Optionally, in a case that the configuration packet includes the commissioning identifier, the configuration packet may not include the duration threshold; alternatively, the commissioning request may not include the duration threshold, but the network device may include the duration threshold, and the duration threshold included in the network device may be a threshold agreed with the management device in advance.
Alternatively, the configuration operation is an operation that an administrator needs to perform on a configuration database of the network device. The operation type of the configuration operation may be an addition operation for adding configuration information to the configuration database, a modification operation for modifying configuration information in the configuration database, or a deletion operation for deleting configuration information in the configuration database, or the like.
When the operation type is a modification operation, the operation object includes an identifier of the configuration information to be modified and first content, and the first content is content modified by the administrator on the configuration information to be modified. When the operation type is an adding operation, the operation object includes configuration information to be added, and the configuration information to be added includes an identifier and content of the configuration information to be added. When the operation type is a delete operation, the operation object may include an identifier of configuration information to be deleted.
Alternatively, the identifier of the configuration information may be a component of the configuration information, and the other part of the configuration information may be referred to as the content of the configuration information. For example, referring to the first piece of configuration information shown in table 1 above, the first piece of configuration information includes identification information "11" and next hop information "192.168.10.1" of network traffic 1, and the identification information "11" may be used as an identification of the first piece of configuration information, and the next hop information "192.168.10.1" may be used as the content of the first piece of configuration information.
In this step, a set of configuration operations defined by the Restconf protocol may be used, and the configuration operations defined by the Restconf protocol include at least one of post, create, and delete. post, create, delete are modify, add, delete operations, respectively. After acquiring the first identification information, the operation type of the configuration operation and the operation object, the management device generates a message including the commissioning identification, the first identification information, the operation type of the configuration operation and the operation object, and the generated message includes the operation type, so that the message type of the generated message is the configuration message.
Optionally, in this step, the generated message includes a first parameter and a second parameter, and when the message is generated, the value of the first parameter is set as the first identifier information, and the value of the second parameter is set as the trial operation identifier, so that the generated message includes the first identifier information and the trial operation identifier.

Optionally, after the network device performs the configuration operation on the configuration database, a notification message may be sent to the management device, and the management device displays the notification message to the administrator.
Step 103: the network device runs according to the configuration database in the first state in the commissioning period of the configuration operation under the triggering of the commissioning identifier, the starting time of the commissioning period is the time for executing the configuration operation, and the time length of the commissioning period is the time threshold.
Optionally, when the network device receives the commissioning request, the network device reads the first identification information from the commissioning request, and operates according to the configuration database in the first state during the commissioning period of the configuration operation identified by the first identification information.
Optionally, the network device times the configuration operation under the trigger of the commissioning identifier or the trigger of the commissioning request. The network device may start a timer for the configuration operation, use the timer to time for the configuration operation, and correspondingly store a corresponding relationship between the timer and the first identification information.
Optionally, the timer started by the network device is a countdown timer, and the initial time value of the countdown timer is equal to the duration threshold.
After the countdown timer is started, the countdown timer gradually decreases the initial value of time, and when the countdown timer decreases the initial value of time to a value of 0, the countdown timer overflows, and the length of time between the time when the countdown timer is started and the time when the countdown timer overflows equals the duration threshold.
Optionally, the management device may allow the administrator to continue to perform another configuration operation on the configuration database of the network device during the commissioning period corresponding to the configuration operation, and the performing process may refer to the processes of 101 to 103 described above. Alternatively, the management device may not allow the administrator to continue to perform another configuration operation on the configuration database of the network device during the commissioning period corresponding to the configuration operation.
In the trial run period corresponding to the configuration operation, if the administrator or the management terminal finds that the running state of the network device running according to the configuration database in the first state is wrong, the configuration database of the network device can be restored from the first state to the second state, and the second state is the state of the configuration database of the network device before the configuration operation is executed. The detailed implementation process includes the operations 104 to 105 as follows.
Step 104: the management device sends a recovery message to the network device, wherein the recovery message comprises first identification information.
Optionally, the management device generates a packet including the first identification information and recovery identification information, where the recovery identification information is used to identify the type of the packet as a recovery packet.
When the management device generates a message, the management device may set a value of a first parameter in the message as the first identification information, and set a value of a second parameter in the message as the recovery identification information, so as to generate a message including the first identification information and the recovery identification information.
The administrator finds that the running state of the network equipment is wrong, can determine which configuration operation executed on a configuration database of the network equipment has a problem according to the running state of the network equipment, and inputs recovery identification information, first identification information for identifying the configuration operation and identification of the network equipment to the management equipment. The management device generates a message including the first identification information and the recovery identification information, and sends the recovery message to the network device according to the identification of the network device.
Optionally, the recovery identification information is preset information or information agreed in advance by the management device and the network device. The restoration identification information may be included in the management apparatus so that the administrator may not input the restoration identification information.
Optionally, the management device may display a second interface to the administrator, and the administrator inputs the first identification information and the recovery identification information to the management device through the second interface.
For example, referring to the second interface shown in fig. 6, the second interface includes a first input interface 2 for inputting first identification information, a sixth input interface 7 for inputting restoration identification information, and a fifth input interface 6 for inputting an identification of a network device. The administrator may enter the first identification information abc in the first input interface 2 and the recovery identification information B in the sixth input interface 7 and the identification IP1 of the network device in the fifth input interface 6. The management device reads the first identification information abc, the recovery identification information B and the identification IP1 of the network device from the second interface, and a recovery message generated based on the read information may be represented as: and sending the recovery message to the network equipment, wherein the recovery message comprises http:// { IP1} { Port }: restconf/systemInfopersistence-id ═ abc & ternary ═ B'.
Step 105: the network equipment receives the recovery message, acquires the operation object and the operation type corresponding to the first identification information from the corresponding relation among the identification information, the operation object and the operation type, and recovers the configuration database from the first state to the second state according to the operation object and the operation type.
The second state is a state in which the configuration database was prior to performing the configuration operation identified by the first identification information.
In this step, the network device extracts the first identification information and the recovery identification information from the recovery packet, and under the trigger of the recovery identification information, obtains the operation object and the operation type corresponding to the first identification information from the corresponding relationship among the identification information, the operation object and the operation type; and acquiring recovery information according to the operation object and the operation type, wherein the recovery information is used for describing the changed content in the process configuration database for executing the configuration operation in the configuration database, and recovering the configuration database from the first state to the second state according to the recovery information and the operation type.
The network device also deletes the first identification information and the timer corresponding to the first identification information from the corresponding relation between the identification information and the timer.
Optionally, when the operation type corresponding to the first identification information is an add operation, the operation object corresponding to the first identification information is added configuration information, the acquired recovery information is an identifier of the added configuration information according to the operation object and the add operation, and the added configuration information is deleted from the configuration database according to the identifier of the added configuration information, so that the configuration database is restored from the first state to the second state.
For example, in the case where the configuration operation to be performed in step 101 is an add operation, the network device saves the identification information, the correspondence relationship between the operation type and the operation object as shown in table 3, and saves the configuration database in the first state as shown in table 4. The network device extracts the first identification information abc and the recovery identification information B from a recovery message "http:// { IP1} { Port }: restconf/systemlnfoperst-id & tertiary & B". Under the trigger of the recovery identification information B, the operation type and the operation object corresponding to the first identification information abc are obtained from the identification information, the correspondence between the operation type and the operation object shown in table 3, the operation type is an incremental operation create, the operation object includes an identifier 13 of the incremental configuration information, and the incremental configuration information is deleted from the configuration database in the first state shown in table 4 according to the identifier 192.168.10.3, so that the configuration database in the second state shown in table 1 is obtained.
Optionally, when the operation type corresponding to the first identification information is a delete operation, the operation object corresponding to the first identification information includes an identifier of deleted configuration information, the deleted configuration information is obtained from the recovery information table according to the identifier of the deleted configuration information, and the deleted configuration information is added to the configuration database, so that the configuration database is recovered from the first state to the second state.
For example, in the case where the configuration operation to be performed in step 101 is a delete operation, the network device holds the identification information, the correspondence relationship of the operation type and the operation object as shown in table 5, the restoration information table as shown in table 6, and the configuration database in the first state as shown in table 7. The network device extracts the first identification information abc and the recovery identification information B from a recovery message "http:// { IP1} { Port }: restconf/systemlnfoperst-id & tertiary & B". Under the trigger of the recovery identification information B, the operation type and the operation object corresponding to the first identification information abc are obtained from the identification information shown in table 5, the corresponding relation between the operation type and the operation object, the operation type is a delete operation table, the operation object includes an identifier 12 of deleted configuration information, the deleted configuration information is obtained from the recovery information table shown in table 6 according to the identifier 12, the deleted configuration information includes "12" and "192.168.10.2", and the deleted configuration information is added to the configuration database in the first state shown in table 7, so that the configuration database in the second state shown in table 1 is obtained.
Optionally, when the operation type corresponding to the first identification information is a modification operation, the operation object corresponding to the first identification information is an identifier of the modified configuration information, the second content before the configuration information is modified is obtained from the recovery information table according to the identifier of the configuration information, and the first content after the configuration information is modified, which is stored in the configuration database, is updated to the second content according to the identifier of the configuration information, so that the configuration database is recovered from the first state to the second state.
For example, in the case where the configuration operation to be performed in step 101 is a modify operation, the network device saves the identification information, the correspondence relationship of the operation type and the operation object as shown in table 8, the restoration information table as shown in table 9, and the configuration database in the first state as shown in table 10. The network device extracts the first identification information abc and the recovery identification information B from a recovery message "http:// { IP1} { Port }: restconf/systemlnfoperst-id & tertiary & B". Under the trigger of the recovery identification information B, the operation type and the operation object corresponding to the first identification information abc are obtained from the correspondence relationship between the identification information, the operation type and the operation object shown in table 8, the operation type is a modification operation post, the operation object includes an identifier 11 of the modified configuration information, the second content before the configuration information is modified is "192.168.10.1" obtained from the recovery information table shown in table 9 according to the identifier 11, the first content "192.168.10.3" after the configuration information is modified is updated to the second content "192.168.10.1" in the configuration database of the first state shown in table 10, and the configuration database of the second state shown in table 1 is obtained.
When the configuration database is recovered, the administrator can trigger the network device to automatically recover the configuration database from the first state to the second state only by inputting the first identification information and the recovery identification information, so that the recovery efficiency is improved.
In the trial run period corresponding to the configuration operation, if the administrator or the management device finds that the running state of the network device running according to the configuration database in the first state is correct, the configuration database of the network device may be confirmed, so as to avoid that the network device automatically restores the configuration database from the first state to the second state after the trial run period of the configuration operation is finished. The detailed implementation process includes the operations 106 to 107 as follows.
Step 106: the management equipment sends a confirmation message to the network equipment, wherein the confirmation message comprises the first identification information.
Optionally, the management device generates a message including the first identification information and confirmation identification information, where the confirmation identification information is used to identify that the type of the message is a confirmation message.
When the management device generates a message, the management device may set a value of a first parameter in the message as the first identification information, and set a value of a second parameter in the message as the confirmation identification information, so as to generate a message including the first identification information and the confirmation identification information.
The administrator finds that the running state of the network equipment is correct, can determine which configuration operation executed on the configuration database of the network equipment needs to be confirmed according to the running state of the network equipment, and inputs confirmation identification information, first identification information used for identifying the configuration operation and identification of the network equipment to the management equipment. And generating a message comprising the confirmation identification information and the first identification information to obtain a confirmation message, and sending the confirmation message to the network equipment according to the identification of the network equipment.
Optionally, the identification information is determined to be preset information, or information agreed in advance by the management device and the network device.
Optionally, the management device may display a third interface to the administrator, and the administrator inputs the first identification information and the confirmation identification information to the management device through the third interface.
For example, referring to the third interface shown in fig. 7, the third interface includes the first input interface 2 for inputting the first identification information, and the seventh input interface 8 for inputting the confirmation identification information. The administrator may enter the first identification information abc in the first input interface 2, the confirmation identification information C in the seventh input interface 8, and the identification IP1 of the network device in the fifth input interface 6. The management device reads the first identification information abc and the confirmation identification information C from the third interface, and a confirmation message generated based on the read information may be represented as: "http:// { IP1} { Port }: restconf/systemInfo? And sending the confirmation message to the network equipment.
Step 107: and the network equipment receives the confirmation message and deletes the record comprising the first identification information from the corresponding relation among the identification information, the operation object and the operation type.
In this step, the network device receives the confirmation message, where the confirmation message includes confirmation identification information and first identification information, stops timing the configuration operation identified by the first identification information under the trigger of the confirmation identification information, and deletes the record including the first identification information from the correspondence between the identification information, the operation object, and the operation type.
Before deleting the record including the first identification information, the network device may further obtain an operation object and an operation type corresponding to the first identification information from a corresponding relationship among the identification information, the operation object, and the operation type, where the operation object includes an identification of the configuration information, and in a case where the operation type is a deletion operation or a modification operation, delete the configuration information including the identification of the configuration information from the recovery information table.
The network device may delete the first identification information and the timer corresponding to the first identification information from the correspondence between the timer and the identification information, thereby stopping timing the configuration operation of the first identification information identifier.
For example, in the case where the configuration operation to be performed in step 101 is an add operation, the network device stores the correspondence relationship of the identification information, the operation type, and the operation object as shown in table 3. The network device extracts the first identification information abc and the confirmation identification information C from a confirmation message "http:// { IP1} { Port }: restconf/systemlnfoperst-id ═ abc & tertiary ═ C". Under the trigger of confirming the identification information C, the operation type and the operation object corresponding to the first identification information abc are acquired from the corresponding relation among the identification information, the operation type and the operation object shown in table 3, the operation type is an increase operation create, and the record including the first identification information abc is deleted from the corresponding relation among the identification information, the operation type and the operation object shown in table 3.
As another example, in the case where the configuration operation to be performed in step 101 is a delete operation, the network device stores the identification information, the correspondence relationship of the operation type and the operation object, as shown in table 5, and the restoration information table, as shown in table 6. The network device extracts the first identification information abc and the confirmation identification information C from a confirmation message "http:// { IP1} { Port }: restconf/systemlnfoperst-id ═ abc & tertiary ═ C". Under the trigger of confirming the identification information C, the operation type and the operation object corresponding to the first identification information abc are acquired from the corresponding relationship among the identification information, the operation type and the operation object shown in table 6, the operation type is a delete operation delete, the operation object comprises an identification "12" of the deleted configuration information, the configuration information comprising the "12" is deleted from the recovery information table shown in table 6, and the record comprising the first identification information abc is deleted from the corresponding relationship among the identification information, the operation type and the operation object shown in table 5.
As another example, in the case where the configuration operation to be performed in step 101 is a modify operation, the network device stores the identification information, the correspondence relationship between the operation type and the operation object, as shown in table 8, and the restoration information table, as shown in table 9. The network device extracts the first identification information abc and the confirmation identification information C from a confirmation message "http:// { IP1} { Port }: restconf/systemlnfoperst-id ═ abc & tertiary ═ C". Under the trigger of confirming the identification information C, the operation type and the operation object corresponding to the first identification information abc are obtained from the corresponding relation among the identification information, the operation type and the operation object shown in table 8, the operation type is a modification operation post, the operation object comprises an identification '11' of modified configuration information, the configuration information comprising '11' is deleted from the recovery information table shown in table 9, and the record comprising the first identification information abc is deleted from the corresponding relation among the identification information, the operation type and the operation object shown in table 8.
Optionally, if the network device does not receive the recovery packet including the first identification information or does not receive the confirmation packet including the first identification information during the commissioning period of the configuration operation, when the commissioning period of the configuration operation is finished, the configuration database is recovered from the first state to the second state according to the operation type and the operation object corresponding to the configuration operation.
Because the network device does not receive the recovery message including the first identification information or the confirmation message including the first identification information in the commissioning period of the configuration operation, when the commissioning period of the configuration operation is finished, the timer corresponding to the first identification information is still stored in the corresponding relationship between the identification information and the timer, the timing duration of the timer reaches the duration threshold, and the timer triggers the network device. At this time, under the trigger of the timer, the network device obtains the operation type and the operation object corresponding to the configuration operation from the corresponding relationship among the identification information, the operation type and the operation object according to the first identification information corresponding to the timer, and then restores the configuration database from the first state to the second state. Wherein the timer is a countdown timer, at which time the timer overflows and triggers the network device.
The detailed implementation process of the network device for restoring the configuration database from the first state to the second state can be referred to the above related content in step 105, and will not be described in detail here.
In the embodiment of the application, a network device receives a configuration message sent by a management device, where the configuration message includes a commissioning identifier, first identifier information, an operation type and an operation object of a configuration operation to be executed, and a configuration database in the network device is in a second state before the configuration operation is executed; and correspondingly storing the first identification information, the operation object and the operation type into the corresponding relation of the identification information, the operation object and the operation type, and executing the configuration operation corresponding to the operation type on the configuration database of the network equipment according to the operation object to obtain the configuration database in the first state. After the configuration operation is executed, the configuration database is operated according to the first state in a commissioning period corresponding to the configuration operation. The configuration database in the first state is found to be wrong in the trial run period, the administrator only needs to input the first identification information to the management equipment, the management equipment sends a recovery message including the first identification information to the network equipment, and therefore the network equipment obtains the operation type and the operation object of the configuration operation identified by the first identification information from the corresponding relation among the identification information, the operation object and the operation type according to the first identification information in the recovery message, and recovers the configuration database in the second state according to the operation type and the operation object, and therefore the content of change in the configuration database does not need to be edited, and recovery efficiency is improved.
Referring to fig. 8, an embodiment of the present application provides a management method for a network device, which may be applied to the network architecture shown in fig. 1. In the method, a fallback capability set may be defined in the network device, enabling the network device to have a fallback function. The rollback function is that after the configuration operation is performed on the configuration database of the network device, if the network device needs to be configured, the management device may request the network device to recover the changed content in the configuration database. The method comprises the following steps:
step 201: the management equipment sends a configuration message to the network equipment, wherein the configuration message comprises first identification information, an operation type and an operation object of a configuration operation to be executed.
The first identification information is used for identifying the configuration operation to be executed.
Optionally, the management device displays a fourth interface to the administrator, and the administrator inputs the identifier of the network device, the operation type and the operation object of the configuration operation, and the first identifier information for identifying the configuration operation to the management device through the fourth interface. Then, the management device obtains the input identifier of the network device, the first identifier information, the operation type of the configuration operation and the operation object, generates a configuration message including the first identifier information, the operation type of the configuration operation and the operation object, and sends the configuration message to the network device according to the identifier of the network device.
The detailed implementation process of the administrator inputting the identifier of the network device, the operation type and the operation object of the configuration operation into the management device and the management device generating the configuration message may refer to the related content in step 101, and will not be described in detail here.
In this step, a first parameter is added to the configuration packet, and the value of the first parameter is set to be equal to the first identification information, so that the generated configuration packet includes the first identification information.
For example, the management apparatus displays a fourth interface as shown in fig. 9, the fourth interface including a selection button 1 for selecting an operation type, a first input interface 2 for inputting first identification information, a fourth input interface 5 for inputting an operation object, and a fifth input interface 6 for inputting an identification of a network apparatus. The selection button 1 may be a pull-down button, and the selection button 1 includes at least one operation type of the configuration operation, and the operation type of the configuration operation includes post, create, and delete.
Referring to fig. 9, it is assumed that an administrator needs to modify the first piece of configuration information in the configuration database shown in table 1, where the first piece of configuration information is routing information of network traffic 1, and the administrator needs to modify the next hop information in the routing information from "11" to "192.168.10.3". At this time, the administrator selects the operation type of the configuration operation to be performed as the modification operation post, inputs the first identification information abc in the first input interface 2, inputs the operation object including the identification "11" of the configuration information to be modified and the first content "192.168.10.3" of the configuration information to be modified in the fourth input interface 5, and inputs the identification of the network device as the IP1 in the fifth input interface 6.
The management device may read, from the fourth interface shown in fig. 9, the operation type post of the configuration operation, the first identification information abc, the identification "11" of the configuration information to be modified, the first content "192.168.10.3" of the configuration information to be modified, and the identification of the network device as IP 1. The configuration message generated by the management device based on the read information may be represented as:
post http://{IP1}{Port}:/restconf/systemInfoconifig-id＝abc&timeout＝180
<routeInfo>
< Id info 11</Id info > (identification of configuration information to be modified)
< Next hop >192.168.10.3</Next hop > (first content of configuration information to be modified)
</routeInfo>
And if the config-id in the configuration message is the first parameter, the network equipment sends the configuration message again.
Step 202: the network equipment receives the configuration message, acquires the content in a configuration database of the network equipment to obtain first configuration information, correspondingly stores the first identification information and the first configuration information in the corresponding relation between the identification information and the configuration information, and executes configuration operation corresponding to the operation type on the configuration database according to the operation object.
In this step, the network device receives the configuration packet, copies the content in the configuration database to obtain the first configuration information stored in the configuration database, correspondingly stores the first identification information and the first configuration information in the corresponding relationship between the identification information and the configuration information, and executes the first configuration operation corresponding to the operation type on the configuration database according to the operation object.
The detailed implementation process of the network device performing the first configuration operation corresponding to the operation type on the configuration database may refer to relevant contents in step 102 in the embodiment shown in fig. 2.
Still referring to the example in step 201, the network device receives the following configuration message:
post http://{IP1}{Port}:/restconf/systemInfoconifig-id＝abc&timeout＝180
<routeInfo>
<Id info>11</Id info>
<Next hop>192.168.10.3</Next hop>
</routeInfo>
extracting the operation type as a modification operation post from the configuration message, extracting the operation object as an identifier '11' and a first content as '192.168.10.3' of the configuration information to be modified, and extracting a value abc of a first parameter config-id from the configuration message to obtain first identifier information. Copying the configuration database shown in table 1 to obtain first configuration information, and correspondingly storing the first identification information and the first configuration information in the corresponding relationship between the identification information and the configuration information. The network device obtains the configuration information to be modified from the configuration database shown in table 1 according to the identifier "11" of the configuration information to be modified, where the configuration information to be modified includes the identifier "11" and the second content "192.168.10.1", and then, the network device updates the second content "192.168.10.1" of the configuration information to be modified from the configuration database shown in table 1 to the first content "192.168.10.3", and the obtained configuration database is as shown in table 9.
After the network device executes the configuration operation on the configuration database, the network device operates according to the configuration database. In addition, if the administrator still needs to perform the configuration operation on the configuration database, the administrator may input the identification of the network device, the operation type and the operation object of the configuration operation, and the identification information for identifying the configuration operation into the management device, and then the management device and the network device re-perform the operations of steps 201 to 202.
Sometimes an administrator may need to restore the operational state of a network device to the operational state prior to performing a certain configuration operation, at which point the configuration information stored in the configuration database of the network device needs to be restored to the configuration information stored in the configuration database prior to performing the configuration operation. Among other things, to meet this requirement, it can be implemented as the following steps 203 to 204.
Step 203: the management device sends a recovery message to the network device, wherein the recovery message comprises first identification information.
Optionally, the management device generates a message including the first identification information and rollback identification information, where the rollback identification information is used to identify the type of the message as a recovery message.
When the management device generates a message, the management device may set a value of a first parameter in the message as first identification information, and add rollback identification information to the message, thereby generating a message including the first identification information and the rollback identification information.
Optionally, the rollback identification information is preset information or information agreed in advance by the management device and the network device.
Optionally, the management device may display a fifth interface to the administrator, and the administrator inputs the first identification information and the rollback identification information to the management device through the fifth interface.
For example, referring to the fifth interface shown in fig. 10, the fifth interface includes a first input interface 2 for inputting first identification information, a fourth input interface 5 for inputting an identification of a network device, rollback identification information "rollback", and an eighth input interface 9 for a user to confirm whether to input the rollback identification information. When the administrator confirms to input the rollback identification information, the eighth input interface 9 may select to input the rollback identification information (for example, input a value indicating that the administrator selects to input the rollback identification information), and input the first identification information abc in the first input interface 2 and the identification IP1 of the network device in the fourth input interface 5. The management device reads the first identification information abc, the rollback identification information "rollback" and the identification IP1 of the network device from the second interface, and a recovery message generated based on the read information may be represented as: "http:// { IP1} { Port }: restconf/systemlnfoconfiguration-id ═ abc & rollback", the recovery message is sent to the network device.
Step 204: the network equipment receives the recovery message, acquires first configuration information corresponding to the first identification information from the corresponding relation between the identification information and the configuration information, and updates the content of the configuration database into the first configuration information.
In this step, the network device extracts first identification information from the value of the first parameter from the recovery packet to extract rollback identification information from the recovery packet, and acquires, in response to triggering of the rollback identification information, first configuration information corresponding to the first identification information from a correspondence between the identification information and the configuration information, and updates the content of the configuration database to the first configuration information.
For example, from the recovery message "http:// { IP1} { Port },/restconf/systemInfo? Extracting a value abc of a first parameter contig-id from abc & rollback "to obtain first identification information, so as to extract rollback identification information" rollback "from the recovery message, under the trigger of the rollback identification information" rollback ", acquiring first configuration information corresponding to the first identification information abc from a corresponding relation between the identification information and the configuration information, wherein the first configuration information corresponding to the first identification information abc is the configuration information stored in the configuration database shown in table 1, updating the content of the configuration database shown in table 9 to the first configuration information, and obtaining the configuration database shown in table 1, thereby realizing recovery of the configuration database before executing the configuration operation identified by the first identification information abc.
In the embodiment of the application, a network device receives a configuration message sent by a management device, where the configuration message includes first identification information, an operation type and an operation object of a configuration operation to be executed; acquiring content in a configuration database to obtain first configuration information; and correspondingly storing the first identification information and the first configuration information in the corresponding relation between the identification information and the configuration information, and then executing the configuration operation corresponding to the operation type on the configuration database according to the operation object. When the administrator needs to restore the configuration database before executing the configuration operation, the administrator only needs to input the first identification information to the management device, and the management device sends a recovery message including the first identification information to the network device, so that the network device obtains the first configuration information corresponding to the first identification information from the corresponding relation between the identification information and the configuration information according to the first identification information in the recovery message, and updates the configuration database into the first configuration information, so that the changed content in the configuration database does not need to be edited, and the recovery efficiency is improved.
