1 is a hardware architecture diagram of a preferred embodiment of the network device of the present invention. The network device 1 includes a management agent (MA) 10 and a management layer service (MLS) system 11 (hereinafter referred to as MLS). 11), a plurality of service agents (SA) 12 and a driver 13 corresponding to each SA 12. The MA 10 can be a web page image interface or a command input interface (for example, a DOS command input interface). The SA 12 can be a firewall. The MLS 11 is a middleware, and the user can parameterize the network device 1 on the MA 10. The MLS 11 includes a database 110. The MLS 11 receives the parameters sent by the MA 10 and stores them in the database 110. After the MLS 11 receives the parameters, the parameters are sent to the SA 12, and the SA 12 sends the received parameters to the corresponding parameters. Drive 13, the driver 13 receives the parameters and sets the network device 1.

Each SA 12 registers the information of the SA 12 on the MLS 11, and the information of the SA 12 includes the relationship between the SA 12 and other SAs 12, the relationship including the dependency relationship or independent of each other. The dependency relationship between the SAs 12 refers to the order in which the plurality of SAs 12 receive parameters from the MLS 11, and if the second SA 12 is attached to the first SA 12, the MLS 11 first sends the parameters to the first SA 12, and then sends the parameters to the Second SA 12. If each SA 12 is independent of each other, the MLS 11 simultaneously transmits the corresponding parameters to each SA 12.

As shown in FIG. 2, it is a functional module diagram of the MLS 11 in FIG. The MLS 11 includes a receiving module 111, a determining module 112, a transmitting module 113, and a control module 114. The module is a software program segment having a specific function, and the software is stored in a computer readable storage medium or other storage device, and can be executed by a computer or other computing device including the processor, thereby completing the parameters of the network device 1 in the present invention. The set workflow.

The receiving module 111 is configured to receive all parameters sent by the MA 10 and store them in the data repository 110. The received parameters are correspondingly sent to one or more SAs 12, that is, the received parameters belong to one SA 12 or multiple SAs 12.

The determining module 112 is configured to determine whether the received parameter belongs to one SA 12.

The sending module 113 is configured to determine the order of the SA 12 receiving the parameters according to the relationship between each SA 12 when the parameters belong to the plurality of SAs 12, and determine the first batch of SAs 12 that receive the parameters according to the order. The sending module 113 is further configured to send corresponding parameters to the first batch of SAs 12. In this embodiment, the sending module 113 sends a start flag to each SA 12 in the batch of SAs 12 before sending the corresponding parameters, such as Send a "NotYetApplied=true" flag to each SA 12. When a SA 12 receives all the parameters belonging to the SA 12, the transmitting module 113 sends an end flag to the SA 12, such as sending a "NotYetApplied=false" flag to the SA 12.

The determining module 112 is further configured to determine whether there is an SA 12 attached to the SA 12. In this embodiment, the attached to one SA 12 may be one SA 12 or multiple SAs 12 . If there is an SA 12 attached to the SA 12, the transmitting module 113 is further configured to send the corresponding parameter to the SA 12 attached to the SA 12, and so on, until all parameters are transmitted.

The control module 114 is configured to control each SA 12 to send all the received parameters to the corresponding driver 13 when each SA 12 receives the end flag.

As shown in FIG. 3, it is an operational flowchart of a preferred embodiment of the network device parameter setting method of the present invention.

In step S30, the receiving module 111 receives all the parameters sent by the MA 10 and stores them in the database 110, and the received parameters belong to one or more SAs 12.

In step S31, the determining module 112 determines whether the parameter belongs to an SA 12. If the parameter belongs to one SA 12, step S34 is directly executed. If the parameter belongs to multiple SA 12 Then, step S32 is performed.

In step S32, the sending module 113 determines the order of the SA 12 receiving the parameters according to the relationship between each SA 12, and determines a batch of SA 12 receiving parameters according to the order.

In step S33, the sending module 113 sends corresponding parameters to the batch of SAs 12. In this embodiment, the sending module 113 sends a start flag to each SA 12 in the batch of SAs 12 before sending the corresponding parameters, such as sending a "NotYetApplied=true" flag to each SA 12.

In step S34, the determining module 112 determines whether the SA 12 receiving the parameter receives all the parameters belonging to the SA 12. If the SA 12 receives all the parameters belonging to the SA 12, then in step S35, the sending module 113 sends an end flag to the SA 12, such as sending a "NotYetApplied=false" flag to the SA 12, and performing the steps. S36. If the SA 12 does not receive all the parameters belonging to the SA 12, then the process goes to step S33 to continue transmitting the corresponding parameters to the SA 12.

In step S36, the control module 114 controls the SA 12 to send all the received parameters to the corresponding driver 13.

In step S37, the driver 13 performs parameter setting on the network device 1 according to the received parameters.

In step S38, the determining module 112 determines whether there are other SAs 12 attached to the SA 12. If yes, step S39 is performed. If it does not exist, the process ends.

In step S39, the transmitting module 113 sends the corresponding parameter to the next batch of SA 12 attached to the SA 12, and proceeds to step S34. In this embodiment, the next batch attached to the SA 12 SA 12 is one or more SAs 12.

It should be noted that the above embodiments are only intended to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to be limiting, and the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof The technical solutions are modified or equivalently substituted without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
