More deployed applications. Restricted by the BGP horizontal isolation rules, that is, the Internal Border Gateway Protocol (IBGP, Internal Border Gateway Protocol) neighbor relationship will not pass the routes learned from neighbor nodes to other IBGP neighbors, so the network needs to run BGP network devices.

Exemplarily, if the information content that the second BGP configuration information may include is empty, the first network device reads the second BGP configuration information whose information content is empty from the second network device; or, the second BGP configuration information The included information content is different from the information content of the first BGP configuration information, and the first network device deletes or modifies the BGP configuration in the second network device by comparing and conflicting the first BGP configuration information and the second BGP configuration information. information to generate target BGP configuration information of the second network device.

As an implementation manner, if the information content that can be included in the second BGP configuration information is empty, the first network device uses the first BGP configuration information as the target BGP configuration information. As another implementation manner, if the information content included in the second BGP configuration information is different from the information content of the first BGP configuration information, the first network device modifies the information content of the second BGP configuration information according to the first BGP configuration information , or the information content of the second BGP configuration information may be supplemented, for example, by supplementing peer connect-interface (Peer connect-interface) configuration information, etc., to generate target BGP configuration information.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: obtaining, by the first network device, a configuration success message of the second network device, where the configuration success message is used to characterize the second network device Complete the configuration of BGP neighbor information.

In this embodiment, after the second network device completes the configuration of the BGP neighbor information based on the target BGP configuration information, the first network device obtains a configuration success message of the second network device. Optionally, the first network device monitors the state of the second network device according to a preset period.

By adopting the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, by establishing a NETCONF session channel between the first network device and the second network device, that is, all the second networks connected to the first network device (ie, the route reflector) are realized through NETCONF. The automatic configuration of the BGP configuration information of the device (ie the client), the user only needs to manage the BGP configuration information in the first network device (ie the route reflector), which greatly improves the configuration efficiency of the network device and avoids the cumbersome and error-prone manual configuration method. question.

The information configuration method according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to specific examples. In this example, the first network device is specifically a route transmitter, and the second network device is specifically a client. In practical applications, a network may include multiple clients, and in this example, only one client is used as an example for description. FIG. 3 is another schematic flowchart of an information configuration method according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown in FIG. 3 , the method includes:

Step 201: Both the route reflector and the client initialize the BGP automatic configuration function; wherein, initializing the BGP automatic configuration function includes initializing their own NETCONF function and SSH function.

Here, the route reflector and the client initialize their own SSH functions and obtain the configured authentication information respectively, that is, the route reflector obtains the configured first authentication information, and the client obtains the configured second authentication information. Wherein, both the first authentication information and the second authentication information may include a default account number and password.

Step 202: the route reflector obtains BGP automatic configuration information; the BGP automatic configuration information includes information of at least one client that needs to automatically configure BGP neighbor information.

Optionally, the BGP automatic configuration information may further include key information such as the IP address, protocol parameters, and protocol status of each client.

Step 203: The route reflector determines a client in a specific state in the BGP automatic configuration information, and sends the first authentication information to the client.

In this embodiment, the route reflector polls each client in the BGP automatic configuration information, and when it is determined that a client does not respond, it can be determined that the client is in a specific state (for example, the down state), and the route reflector is in the active state In the configuration state, the first authentication information is sent to the client.

Step 204: The client receives the first authentication information, and performs authentication based on its own second authentication information. After the authentication is passed, the client is in a passive response state.

Here, after the client authentication is passed, the subsequent BGP automatic configuration process of the route reflector is allowed.

Step 205: The route reflector initiates and establishes a NETCONF session channel to the client.

In this embodiment, the route reflector initiates and establishes a NETCONF session channel to the client based on the NETCONF protocol.

Step 206: The route reflector obtains the configured BGP neighbor information, and generates first BGP configuration information of the client based on the BGP neighbor information.

In this embodiment, the BGP neighbor information may include at least one of the following information corresponding to each client: peer IP (Peer IP), autonomous system number (AS number), peer (Peer) address family, address The ability carried under the clan and the attributes of the agreement group, etc. Then, the route reflector can obtain the first BGP configuration information corresponding to the client from the BGP neighbor information.

Step 207: The route reflector obtains the second BGP configuration information stored in the client based on the established NETCONF session channel.

Step 208: The route reflector performs comparison and conflict detection based on the first BGP configuration information and the second BGP configuration information, and generates target BGP configuration information of the client.

In this embodiment, the route reflector compares and detects the conflict between the first BGP configuration information and the second BGP configuration information, deletes or modifies the BGP configuration information in the client, and generates the target BGP configuration information of the client.

For example, if the information content that can be included in the second BGP configuration information is empty, the route reflector uses the first BGP configuration information as the target BGP configuration information of the client. For another example, if the information content included in the second BGP configuration information is different from the information content of the first BGP configuration information, the route reflector modifies the information content of the second BGP configuration information according to the first BGP configuration information, or may modify the information content of the second BGP configuration information. The information content of the BGP configuration information is supplemented, for example, the peer connect interface (Peer connect-interface) configuration information is supplemented, and the target BGP configuration information of the client is generated.

Step 209: The route reflector sends the target BGP configuration information to the client through the NETCONF session channel, so that the client automatically completes the configuration of BGP neighbor information.

Since basically all large-scale networks in the existing network include route reflectors, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention can configure the BGP neighbor information of network devices in the entire network more simply and efficiently when the above steps are successfully completed and all meet expectations. For example, when there is a network management device in the network, the network management device can only manage the BGP configuration of the route reflector, and all client configurations attached to it will be automatically generated based on the configuration of the route reflector and complete all the configuration work, which greatly improves the network equipment. Deployment productivity. A small amount of configuration that cannot or is difficult to be automatically generated due to other personalized requirements (such as route-policy, etc.) can be supplemented after the automatic configuration is completed.
