It relates to a recording medium on which a program is recorded.

A number of network management systems are built for a specific purpose in order to perform a smooth function of a network that performs various functions over a wide range.

Such a network management system can be broadly divided into an exchange network management system and an IP network management system that manages the Internet.                         

The IP network management system manages various types of routers and switches constituting the IP network. Operators who manage the network monitor the network status through the IP network management system, and solve the problem through work instructions according to the problem type when a problem occurs.

Network operators manage the core devices that make up the backbone network (backbone network), depending on the organizational division of their organization, and other network operators manage the devices in the access stage that subscribers access. In addition, network operators manage their own equipment according to their organization.

However, the organization to which the network operators belong is always changed, and there may be problems in existing network management systems that are already in operation. In particular, even though the network equipment remains intact, the organizations and network operators who manage the network equipment There is a problem that the network management system is changed by changing.

That is, for example, when one organizational system is missing from the headquarters-headquarters-branch offices-branch office system, such as the headquarters-headquarters-branch offices, most of the existing network management systems must be redeveloped. It takes time, money and effort.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art may easily implement the present invention. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted in order to clearly describe the present invention. Like parts are designated by like reference numerals throughout the specification.                     

First, a method for managing a tissue in network management according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1.

1 illustrates a flowchart of a method for managing an organization in network management according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 illustrates an information model for a management organization applied to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the method for managing an organization in network management according to an embodiment of the present invention, first, a block and a scope are defined for network management, and the block is configured to manage target equipment to be managed by an operator. It is a minimum management unit that is grouped in consideration of performance hierarchy information by performance service network, and the scope is a combination of blocks that sets the management scope according to the authority of the operator.

Prerequisites for consistent network management by defining blocks and management scopes are as follows.

First, the device belongs to only one block, and the block can be overlapped in n management scopes, and the level can be represented in the management scope so that the directory structure can be represented.

The management scope has a hierarchical structure, and the upper management scope becomes a super set including the lower management scope. The user has basic authority over one scope of management, allowing the user to select equipment of interest from a scope of authority with basic authority.

Table 1 shows an example of the default block classification for the IP network management system. Here, Group means just management group for management, branch / branch group means simple management group, and blocks can be added and subdivided later.

In the above, when a block and a management range are defined, the following Tables 2 to 9 are created with reference to FIG. 2, where each table represents an organic relationship between equipment, blocks, management ranges, users, and management organizations.

Table 2 below is a block information table.

Table 3 below is a management range information table.                     

In Table 3, the level item represents the directory structure, and the parent is a superset in which parent contains the subordinate management scope.

Table 4 below is a user information table.

The filtering item in Table 4 means that all devices are selected if it is not filtered (N), and if it is filtered, it means that it is filtered and stored in the table of Table 7.

Table 5 below is the equipment-block table.                     

In Table 5, the ID of the management scope and the central operator who assigned the equipment to the block is input.

Table 6 below is a block-management range table.

Table 7 below is the equipment-user table.

Table 8 below is a standby equipment table.                     

In Table 8, '0' of the block index item means that the block is unknown or the block is deleted. The system of the user ID item means the block is deleted. For higher management scope index items, enter the upper management scope in which the request should be processed.

In order to reduce confusion in managing blocks and management scopes, an administrator who manages the organizational management structure is arranged in units of units, and given a certain authority according to the grade of the operators.

The general manager (one person) is the center operator assigned to the center, and the operator for each management scope is the management scope operator arranged by the upper level management scopes such as Kornet Core, Jeonnam, Daegu, Busan, etc.

Management scope The operator has the authority to add / delete / change the equipment belonging to the management scope to which he belongs, to create and change the sub-management scope within the management scope, and to handle the equipment within the management scope managed by the standby equipment.

The center operator has the authority to change the block assigned to the equipment to another block and to create / delete the block.

 Management scope The operator sets the equipment to belong to a specific block because equipment not belonging to any block is input to the standby equipment in the standby equipment table of Table 8. In Table 8, entries processed by the management scope operator are deleted.

The center operator performs the initial block configuration, and the management scope operator performs change / delete / additional management of the block in operation.

On the other hand, when a change in equipment, block, management organization, or management scope occurs, the table related to the change is reconfigured, and a series of tasks corresponding to the change are performed.

First, perform the following series of operations on changing / deleting / adding blocks.

end. When the block is changed, the operator changes only the block information of Table 2.

I. If a block is deleted, the operator deletes the block from Table 2, deletes the corresponding block index value from Table 6, deletes the corresponding block index value from Table 5, and then belongs to the deleted block on the standby device of Table 8. Add equipment In Table 7, the status field indicates that the device is not used.

All. When a block is added, the operator additionally inputs a block added to the block information of Table 2.

Next, perform the following series of tasks for changing / deleting / adding equipment.

end. When equipment is added

1) The general operator registers the device through the graphical user interface (GUI) and selects a specific block from the block list. The block list shows only blocks that fall within the management scope of the operator.

At this time, in order to assist the operator in selecting a block, "Unknown" with a block index value of "0" is shown in Table 8 to select Unknown.

The information on the added equipment is sent to the table that manages the equipment registered in the network that does not belong to the block yet, and is also entered in Table 5 when the operator designates a specific block when registering the equipment. .

2) Management scope Notify operator of equipment registration.

3) Management scope The operator checks whether the block to which the device belongs is properly selected, and if the block is not selected, allocates a block to the device.

I. If the device is deleted

1) Delete the device from Table 5, 2) Delete the device from Table 8, and 3) Reflect the deletion of the device in Table 7.

All. If your managed organization changes (escalates)

1) If only the management organization name is changed without moving the equipment, only the organization name needs to be changed in the Org item of Table 4.

2) If the standard code is changed, delete the organization code of the device belonging to the management organization and register the organization code of the device referring to the standard code of the other management organization.

3) If the organization is changed without changing the standard code, change the organization code in the equipment, move the equipment from the table 5 to the standby equipment in table 8, and set the block index value to '0'.

4) After changing the flag to Not used in Table 7, the user is notified of the change of the management organization.

la. When equipment moves to another block, that is, when the block-to-device mapping in Table 5 changes

1) The information on the changed equipment should be reflected in the Not used status in Table 7 and 2) the user is notified of the change of the block-device mapping.

Perform the following series of tasks for adding / deleting / changing management scopes.

end. Add management scope

Add information on the scope of control to Table 3 and Table 6.

I. Assign new management scope to users

1) Delete the equipment for the existing management scope in Table 7, 2) Change the management scope of the user in Table 2, and 3) In the filtering item that means that no filtering was performed for the new management scope in Table 2. It is written as 'N'.

All. Change of information (name, level) of management scope

Change only the changed information (management information name, level) in Table 3.

la. Change of blocks within the scope of management (that is, change of block to scope mapping in Table 6)

In Table 7, the item corresponding to the old block (old) block is changed to 'Not used', and the user is notified of the change of the block-management scope mapping.                     

hemp. Deletion from management scope in Table 6

Mark 7 in Table 7 (Not used) and notify the user.

bar. Addition in Table 6

Notify the user.

four. Delete from Table 3

1) Delete Table 3, and 2) Delete the corresponding information from Table 6, 3) Mark the equipment of the block corresponding to the management range in Table 7 as Not used, and 4) Notify the user of the deletion from Table 3 .

As described above, the organization management method in network management according to an embodiment of the present invention proposes an organizational management model that can actively cope with organizational variations that occur aperiodically, and can occur whenever a change occurs in the management organization. The burden of maintenance and repair of existing network management systems can be reduced to a minimum.

On the other hand, the tissue management method in the network management according to an embodiment of the present invention as described above is implemented as a program in a computer-readable form of a recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.) ) Can be stored.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various other changes and modifications are possible.

As described above, the organization management method and recording medium in which the program is recorded in the network management according to the present invention are derived according to the organization change by changing only the information of the relevant table and actively coping with the change of the management organization in the IP network management system. There is an effect that can minimize the maintenance of the IP network management system.
