Detailed Description

It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with embodiments.

In order to make the present application solution better understood by those skilled in the art, the following description will be made in detail and with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application, it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments herein without making any inventive effort, shall fall within the scope of the present application.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present application and the above figures are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate in order to describe the embodiments of the present application described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Aiming at the problems of complex mode, low efficiency and high cost of changing the network element management system when the network element correspondingly managed by the network element management system changes in the related technology, the following scheme appears in the related technology:

along with the development of data centers and the development of cloud technologies, many network devices or virtualization devices and interfaces can better support RESTful or interface call based on NetConf protocol, as shown in fig. 2, which is a schematic diagram of a network element management system managing network elements through NetConf protocol in related technologies, wherein a network Element Management System (EMS) side includes a service arrangement module, a service and device interface mapping module, a system southbound interface and a NetConf client, and the network element side includes a NetConf server, a module interface scheduling module and each scheduled module in the network element.

When the EMS based on NetConf protocol is in the nano-tube network element module, the EMS firstly knows the network element model and software version information, has management modules, attributes, value ranges and module operation interfaces, prepares the southbound interfaces of the EMS side network element module in advance according to the network element version, sends service logic to the service and equipment mapping module after the upper layer service is arranged, remotely calls the corresponding network element module to send to equipment according to the service and function, the function and network element relation and the southbound interface relation of the system, and obtains the processing result of the equipment through remote scheduling.

However, because the EMS needs to design the version of the network element of the nano tube and the data such as the network element interface, the interface attribute, the range and the like in advance in the planning, the strict requirement is met, and only the traditional test flow and method can be used when the new version of the network element of the nano tube is managed by the EMS, namely, whether each version change of the network element affects the EMS, how much effect is caused, no accurate compatibility evaluation information is generated, whether the version of the network element can be managed by the EMS, no reference basis and no pertinence are caused for testing the EMS, the release of the function of the new version of the network element by the EMS is seriously delayed, and the response level of products is affected.

It should be noted that, because the EMS and the network element system are two independent systems, each independently develop and maintain their life cycle, such as version change, independent upgrade, etc., the systems are relatively independent closed, even systems of different companies, so after the version change occurs in the network element system, two developers of the EMS and the network element system need to communicate and determine the interfaces, parameters, ranges and functions affecting which EMS are modified by the network element system, the developers of the EMS develop and test the network element system in a targeted manner according to the changes, if the version change of the network element is large, the network element is involved, each module is needed, the developers of the two parties of each function research and judge one by one, and the developers of the EMS develop and test and the network element system joint debugging. That is, each time the version of the network element is changed, research and judgment are needed one by research personnel of both sides aiming at the modified content, time and effort are consumed, meanwhile, the EMS needs full-function full-flow test to be able to nanotube the network element of the version, and the efficiency is low.

In summary, in the network element management manner in the related art, version change and independent upgrade of the network element increase the docking cost of both the network element management system and the network element, and the period of the network element management system for managing the new version of the network element is relatively long, which causes delay in system release and even hidden risk.

Based on this, the present application intends to provide a solution to the above technical problem, the details of which will be explained in the following embodiments.

For convenience of description, the following will describe some terms or terms related to the embodiments of the present application:

NetConf protocol: an XML-based network configuration protocol proposed by IETF, the basic standards of which include RFC6241, RFC6242. The general implementation method for network equipment configuration management based on NetConf protocol is to implement NetConf Server on the equipment side, and the network management side (network management) implements NetConf-Client, mainly to complete the network configuration functions of get, get-config, wait-config, copy-config, delete-config, etc. The network management side composes the upper layer service and sends the change to the equipment end through NetConf protocol, the equipment end drives the specific service module again, completes configuration issue or obtains equipment configuration, and the equipment alarm information is sent to the network end through subscription information.

Example 1

According to an embodiment of the present application, there is provided a network element information processing system.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a network element information processing system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the network element information processing system is applied to a network element management system, where the network element management system includes: the service configuration module is used for configuring the service; the information storage module is used for storing the mapping information between the service and the network element module corresponding to the service; and the system southbound interface module is used for storing registered network element information, wherein the registered network element information comprises version information of registered network elements and interface information of network element modules in the registered network elements.

It should be noted that, in an optional implementation manner, as shown in fig. 4, the network Element Management System (EMS) is a schematic diagram of an optional network element information processing system provided according to an embodiment of the present application, the service configuration module may be specifically a service orchestration module, the information storage module may be specifically a service and device mapping module, and NetConf-Client and NetConf-Server may be respectively set on the EMS side and the network element side, and the network element is incorporated and managed based on the NetConf protocol.

Specifically, firstly, the EMS obtains version information of the network element, including information including which network element modules, attributes, value ranges, module operation interfaces and the like, stores the network element version information in a system southbound interface module, and configures a system southbound interface in advance according to the network element version information. And then, after the upper layer service is arranged, the service information is sent to a service and equipment mapping module, and the service and equipment mapping module determines a network element module to be called for processing the service. And finally, remotely calling a corresponding network element module through a system southbound interface, and obtaining a processing result of the network element module on the service through remote scheduling.

It should be noted that, besides the transfer of configuration information and the call of an interface between the EMS and the network element through NetConf, a RESTful interface or other cross-host communication modes may be adopted, that is, a communication protocol between the Client and the Server may be diversified, only the interface required by the network element management system is required to be obtained, and meanwhile, the interface provided by the network element side outside is improved according to the communication protocol, so that the embodiment does not limit the communication mode between the EMS and the network element.

Specifically, the network element information processing system includes: the first information acquisition module is connected with the information storage module and the system southbound interface module, is used for acquiring mapping information and registered network element information, is also connected with the evaluation module in a communication way, and is used for sending request information to the network element to be registered based on an instruction sent by the evaluation module so as to request to acquire the interface information of the target network element module in the network element to be registered.

The evaluation module is in communication connection with the service configuration module and the first information acquisition module, and is used for determining a target network element module corresponding to the service to be processed according to mapping information in the first information acquisition module under the condition that the service to be processed, which is configured by the configuration module, is acquired, and sending an instruction for acquiring interface information of the target network element module to the first information acquisition module; and the method is also used for determining the influence information of the access of the target network element module on the network element management system based on the evaluation base line and the interface information of the target network element module, wherein the evaluation base line is determined based on the registered network element information, and the evaluation base line is used for evaluating the influence of the change of the interface information of the network element module on the network element management system.

It should be noted that the first information acquisition module and the evaluation module may be disposed on the same side of the network element management system, where the first information acquisition module obtains, through the information storage module, mapping information (referred to as BDI information) between the service and the network element module, where the mapping information specifically characterizes a summary of a relationship between the service function and the network element module; the first information acquisition module acquires system southbound interface description information (called SBI information) through a system southbound interface module, wherein the system southbound interface description information specifically comprises interface configuration information such as version information of registered network elements, network element scheduling interface parameters of appointed versions, return values and the like; the first information acquisition module further sends the acquired information to the evaluation module, receives the target network element determined by the evaluation module based on the acquired information, further sends request information of the target network element to the network element to be registered, and acquires interface information (called MGI information) of the target network element sent by the network element side, and specifically, the interface information of the target network element may be north interface description information of the target network element.

The evaluation module obtains the information collected by the first information collection module, and determines an evaluation baseline according to the information collected by the first information collection module, and fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an evaluation model corresponding to the network element information processing system provided according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 5, the evaluation baseline is used for performing network element compatibility evaluation, and may be in a form of a chimney model.

Specifically, when the evaluation is performed through the compatibility evaluation chimney model, the MGI information associated with the network element of the new version is compared with the MGI information associated with the network element of the old version of the bottom layer through the MGI relation tree, the comparison result floats to the SBI information comparison layer, the influence information corresponding to the SBI information after the registration of the network element of the new version is evaluated through the SBI relation tree, the influence result corresponding to the SBI information floats to the BDI information comparison layer, the influence of the influence information corresponding to the SBI information on the service is evaluated through the BDI relation tree, the BDI evaluation result is obtained and is used as an upper evaluation basis, specifically, a compatibility evaluation report is formed according to a compatibility evaluation template, and the compatibility evaluation report is used for reflecting the influence of the registered network element on the service in the network element management system.

That is, the network element information processing system of this embodiment may completely collect the north interface information of the network element, the mapping relation between the network element management system and the network element module, and the description information of the south interface of the system, form an evaluation baseline through the above information, manage the version of the registered network element through the evaluation baseline, specifically retrieve the changed north interface through the evaluation baseline, and provide an impact evaluation report of the changed north interface on the network element management system.

In addition, it should be noted that, the functions of the network element information processing system of this embodiment are all implemented based on the standard rule of the network element interface, and the network element interface information needs to truly and effectively reflect the network element interface state, and does not include the situation that the network element interface is unchanged, but the meaning of the interface is changed, the nature and the function are changed, and so on.

In order to obtain the interface information of the target network element module, optionally, the network element information processing system further includes: the second information acquisition module is arranged in the network element to be registered, and is used for acquiring the interface information of the target network element module in the network element to be registered under the condition that the request information sent by the first information acquisition module is received, and sending the interface information of the target network element module to the first information acquisition module.

In an optional embodiment, the second information collecting module may be specifically a northbound interface management module, where when the network element management system and the network element to be registered communicate through a NetConf protocol, the northbound interface management module receives a rpc northbound interface description information request sent by the NetConf-Server from the NetConf-Client, and obtains northbound interface description information of the single network element module or the multiple network element modules from the network element module 1 or the network element module 2, and returns the northbound interface description information to the NetConf-Client call end in a content manner through rpc-reply.

Specifically, the north interface management module may provide a get-config function, and the request content is < modules > </modules >, and may request the network element module or the network element module group, and the return information is north interface description information (meta information or metadata) of the network element module or the multi-network element module. Each network element module defines the northbound interface description information of the network element, which is basically defined based on the northbound interface of the NetConf protocol, and is used for describing the capability of the northbound interface of the module, including information such as an operation object, an operation, an interface attribute, a sexual value range, an attribute inheritance relationship and the like.

According to the network element information processing system provided by the embodiment of the application, when the target network element registers with the network element management system, version information of the target network element is acquired; judging whether the version information of the target network element is the same as the version information of the network element in an evaluation baseline in the network element management system, wherein the evaluation baseline comprises the version information of a registered network element corresponding to the target network element, an equipment interface baseline of a network element module of the registered network element, and a system interface baseline of the network element management system and a service baseline of the network element management system which are related to the equipment interface baseline; if the version information of the target network element is different from the version information of the network element in the evaluation baseline in the network element management system, determining a service to be processed of the network element management system, sending request information for requesting a target network element module corresponding to the service to be processed to the target network element, and receiving interface information of the target network element module returned by the target network element based on the request information; the interface information of the target network element module is compared with the equipment interface baseline in the evaluation baseline to obtain a comparison result, and the influence information of the target network element after registration on the service in the network element management system is determined according to the comparison result, the system interface baseline and the service baseline, so that the problem that the influence of the change of the network element on the network element management system is difficult to determine when the network element correspondingly managed by the network element management system changes in the related technology is solved. Thereby achieving the effect of accurately determining the influence information of the registered target network element on the service in the network element management system.

In an alternative embodiment, the first information collecting module and the evaluation module in the network element information processing system are not only disposed on the same side as the network element management system, but also may be disposed independently of the network element management system, so as to form an independent compatibility evaluation device, as shown in fig. 6, which is a schematic diagram of the alternative network element information processing system provided according to an embodiment of the present application, where the compatibility evaluation device may be disposed outside the network element management system.

It should be noted that, under the condition that the compatibility evaluation device independently realizes compatibility evaluation with the network element management system, on one hand, the EMS is required to provide the SBI interface and the BDI interface externally, and on the other hand, the compatibility evaluation device is required to have a network element registry, and the function of the registry is consistent with that of the EMS. Specifically, after the compatibility evaluation device is started, BDI information and SBI information need to be read from the EMS, after the network element is registered in the compatibility evaluation device, version information of the network element is obtained, and any evaluation on a new network element needs to be read again from the EMS.

Example 2

Specifically, the target network element needs to be registered in a network Element Management System (EMS) to process the service in the EMS, and after the target network element is registered, the EMS obtains the version information of the target network element, so that the target network element can be evaluated.

In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, the network element management system includes a service orchestration module, a service and device interface mapping module, and a system southbound interface mapping module, where a first information acquisition module in the network element information processing system is specifically a element configuration collection module, an evaluation module is specifically a compatibility evaluation management module, and a second information acquisition module is a northbound interface management module, where if the network element 1 is a target network element, the network element 1 may be registered in the EMS through the interface 1.

Step S704, determining whether the version information of the target network element is the same as the version information of the network element in the evaluation baseline in the network element management system, where the evaluation baseline includes the version information of the registered network element corresponding to the target network element, the device interface baseline of the network element module of the registered network element, and the system interface baseline of the network element management system and the service baseline of the network element management system associated with the device interface baseline.

It should be noted that, the evaluation baseline includes version information of the network element, a system interface baseline (SBI baseline), a service baseline (BDI baseline), and an equipment interface baseline (MGI baseline), where the BDI baseline and the SBI baseline belong to the EMS and need to be determined in advance by the network element management system, and the MGI baseline is determined according to the registered network element, and if the MGI baseline does not exist, the MGI baseline is determined according to the information of the first registered network element.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, an optional network element management method provided according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, after each network element registration, the element configuration collection module invokes, through the interface 2, a BDI interface provided by the service and device interface mapping module, to obtain mapping information (BDI information) between the service and the network element module, and invokes, through the interface 3, an SBI interface provided by the system southbound interface module, to obtain system southbound interface description information (SBI information), and further collects, through the interface 4, northbound interface description information (MGI information) of the network element, and sends the collected BDI information, SBI information, and MGI information to the compatibility evaluation management module, where the compatibility evaluation management module generates an evaluation baseline according to the BDI information, SBI information, and MGI information.

Further, when registering a network element each time, the element configuration collection module collects version information of the currently registered network element 1 through the interface 4, invokes the compatibility evaluation management module interface through the interface 7, and judges whether the version information of the network element 1 is the same as the version information of the registered network element in the evaluation baseline, that is, judges whether the version of the network element 1 can be found in the evaluation baseline, if so, prompts the network element 1 to be a known version, and if the version of the network element 1 cannot be found in the evaluation baseline, prompts the network element 1 to be found.

Step S706, if the version information of the target network element is different from the version information of the network element in the evaluation baseline in the network element management system, determining the service to be processed of the network element management system, sending request information for requesting the target network element module corresponding to the service to be processed to the target network element, and receiving interface information of the target network element module returned by the target network element based on the request information.

Optionally, in the network element management method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the evaluation baseline further includes mapping information between a plurality of services and a network element module corresponding to each service, and before sending, to the target network element, request information for requesting a target network element module corresponding to the service to be processed, the method further includes: matching the service to be processed with a plurality of services in the evaluation baseline to obtain a target service; and determining a network element module corresponding to the target service based on the mapping information to obtain the target network element module.

Specifically, if the version of the network element 1 is found in the evaluation baseline, and the description is a known version, the MGI information of the network element is not collected; if the version of the network element 1 is not found in the evaluation baseline, and the description is an unknown version, determining a target network element module corresponding to the service to be processed according to the BDI information, and sending a request to a north interface management module of the network element 1 to acquire the MGI information of the target network element module.

In an alternative embodiment, the interface call mode may be used to send rpc requests to NetConf-Client, which forwards rpc requests to NetConf-Server via interface 5 in NetConf protocol, netConf-Server or the content of the rpc request, and if the requested content indicates that MGI information is to be obtained, MGI information is to be obtained.

It should be noted that, the network element side needs the MGI information of each network element to correctly describe the north interface of the network element module, and the MGI information needs to have detailed information such as module and module attribute, value range, sub-object reference, and operation method of the module. If the network element module refers to part or all of the attributes of other modules, the relative paths to other modules need to be pointed in the MGI information, and meanwhile, the element configuration management module also needs to acquire the MGI information of the reference module. If the network element module at the network element side involves the change of the northbound interface information, the change information needs to be supplemented in the MGI information and is consistent with the logic of the MGI, namely the MGI information needs to truly reflect the northbound interface function of the network element module.

In addition, it is necessary to ensure that new versions of network elements can be registered in the EMS, and the element configuration collection module can send rpc instructions and obtain MGI information of the module specified by the new network element from rpc-reply.

Step S708, comparing the interface information of the target network element module with the equipment interface baseline in the evaluation baseline to obtain a comparison result, and determining the influence information of the registered target network element on the service in the network element management system according to the comparison result, the system interface baseline and the service baseline.

Specifically, the target network element module may be a network element module 1 or a network element module 2, the interface information of the target network element module is MGI1 or MGI2, the element configuration collection module sends the collected MGI1 or MGI2 to the compatibility evaluation management module through the interface 7, the compatibility evaluation management module compares the MGI1 or MGI2 with the evaluation baseline to obtain a compatibility evaluation report, and the compatibility evaluation report includes influence information of the target network element after registration on the service in the network element management system.

According to the network element management method, when the target network element registers with the network element management system, version information of the target network element is obtained; judging whether the version information of the target network element is the same as the version information of the network element in an evaluation baseline in the network element management system, wherein the evaluation baseline comprises the version information of a registered network element corresponding to the target network element, an equipment interface baseline of a network element module of the registered network element, and a system interface baseline of the network element management system and a service baseline of the network element management system which are related to the equipment interface baseline; if the version information of the target network element is different from the version information of the network element in the evaluation baseline in the network element management system, determining a service to be processed of the network element management system, sending request information for requesting a target network element module corresponding to the service to be processed to the target network element, and receiving interface information of the target network element module returned by the target network element based on the request information; the interface information of the target network element module is compared with the equipment interface baseline in the evaluation baseline to obtain a comparison result, and the influence information of the target network element after registration on the service in the network element management system is determined according to the comparison result, the system interface baseline and the service baseline, so that the problem that the influence of the change of the network element on the network element management system is difficult to determine when the network element correspondingly managed by the network element management system changes in the related technology is solved.
