It should also be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various information, these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one type of information from another. For example, the first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as first information, without departing from the scope of the present specification. The word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at … …" or "when … …" or "in response to a determination", depending on the context.
In the uboot mechanism, when a boot cannot guide the version to be started normally, a boot system provides an emergency recovery version page which can be accessed through a browser, a version file can be selected locally through the page to carry out version update, a damaged main version is repaired, and then the use of equipment is recovered.
In this mechanism, it is necessary to know the access address of the urgent recovery version page in advance, and to prepare the version to be updated locally, which are too cumbersome for the home user.
In the backup mechanism, a backup version can be stored in the device, and when boot is performed, if the version is found to be damaged and cannot be started, the backup version is booted.
However, in the backup mechanism, the backup version is generally a separate version and is not updated as the primary version is updated. Therefore, after the boot backup version is started, the started version is actually the old version, and span exists between the started version and the version used when the user version is damaged, which may cause the problems of incomplete user network function and the like.
Moreover, since the primary version is not repaired, a judgment process that the primary version damages the boot backup version is required to be performed every time the boot backup version is started, which results in poor user experience.
To solve the above technical problem, the present disclosure provides a method for restoring a network device version, as shown in fig. 1, the method including:
s101, after the version starting of the network equipment fails, acquiring a recorded first version number and network access configuration information from a first partition;
s102, accessing a network by using the network access configuration information and updating the version stored by the user according to the first version number;
s103, the network equipment is started by using the updated version.
The first version number is a version number corresponding to a version used when the network equipment is normally started.
In this embodiment, the network device may be a router or a switch, and since the router may be a home router, in a general case, after a user sets a home appliance to the router, the router may guide version startup in the router through Boot, so that the router operates.
In the normal operation of the network device, the network device may obtain a first version number of a version in which the network device is operating and network access configuration information when the network device accesses a network, where the network access configuration information includes: WAN port configuration, address information, username, password, etc.
The network device may store the acquired information after acquiring the first version number and the network access configuration information, wherein in a method of storing the information, the network device divides a first area from a Flash area of the network device and stores the information in the first area.
Because Flash is involved, in order to avoid incomplete information caused by power failure and the like in the process, an Md5 verification mechanism is added. Namely:
1. before writing the acquired information data into the first partition, the Md5 of the information data to be written is calculated and stored in a general file system.
2. After Md5 is created and saved, new data is written into the first partition.
3. Performing Md5 calculation on the first time when the equipment is started, and if the result is consistent with the stored Md5 result, indicating that the equipment is not damaged; if not, repeating the steps (1) and (2) to rewrite the first content.
Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, Boot also supports the following functions:
1. version information and network access configuration information of the first partition can be read.
2. The access configuration information can be used to associate with an external network.
3. The server-side equipment can be associated, and the version corresponding to the version number of the first partition is downloaded from the server-side equipment.
In step S101, after the network device is powered on, if the network device fails to Boot the version through Boot, the network device may determine that the Boot version fails.
At this time, the network device acquires the recorded first version number and network access configuration information from the first partition.
After obtaining the information recorded in the first partition, the network device may access the network using the network access configuration information, for example, Boot may restore an uplink of a server (e.g., a cloud) using the network access configuration information, may associate with the server after restoring the uplink, obtain update information corresponding to the first version number from the server using the first version number, and update a locally stored version using the update information, where the locally stored version may be a master version and/or a backup version.
After the version is updated, the network equipment can be started through the updated version.
In an embodiment, there may be a case where the network device cannot connect to the network through the network access configuration information, or the network device may be successfully connected to the network but cannot connect to the server, at this time, the network device may overwrite the master version with the backup version stored in the network device itself, and after the overwriting is completed, the network device may start the network device using the overwritten master version (i.e., the backup version before the overwriting), so that it is possible to avoid performing a complete recovery attempt due to damage of the master version at each time of starting due to direct booting of the backup version.
It can be seen from the above embodiments that, by storing the version number and the network access configuration information in the designated Flash partition, when the boot master version fails, an attempt is made to recover the uplink and update the version from the server, thereby avoiding the use problem of the user due to the span between the recovered version and the original version.
Based on the same concept as the method described above, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a network device, including:
the acquisition module is used for acquiring the recorded first version number and network access configuration information from the first partition after the network equipment fails to start the version;
the processing module is used for accessing the network by using the network access configuration information and updating the version stored by the processing module according to the first version number;
the processing module is further configured to start the network device using the updated version.
The first version number is a version number corresponding to a version used when the network equipment is normally started.
Meanwhile, the network device further includes: and the storage module is used for recording a first version number and network access configuration information of the current running version of the network equipment when the network equipment normally starts the version, and recording the first version number and the network access configuration information in a first partition.
The obtaining module is further configured to determine that the version of the network device fails to be started when the version of the network device cannot be guided by Boot.
