Description

Network device and data updating method thereof

The present invention relates to a network device, and more particularly to a network device and a data update method thereof.

When a network product consists of a management agent (MA) and a service agent (SA), a configuration database (CDB) is usually required. There are currently two ways to manage the data in the configuration repository. One method is that the update of the configuration database is managed by the MA. Each time the SA accesses the data in the configuration database, the MA needs to help, and the MA manages the communication with the SA and the communication with the configuration database, and The SA application interface needs to be called for each communication. Another approach is to manage each configuration database to its own SA. This requires each SA to spend time managing its own configuration database. When the SA is modified, all related MAs and SAs must be performed. Modifications, if the user accidentally forgets a modification, it may lead to inconsistency in the entire system interface.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a network device and a method for updating the data thereof, which can instantly update the data in the network device.

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, a service agent (SA) 11, an object adapting interface 12, and a configuration database (CDB) 13. The MA 10 can be a web page image interface or a command input interface (for example, a DOS command input interface). The SA 11 can be a firewall device or a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The user can parameterize the SA 11 on the MA 10.

The object acquisition interface 12 is used for communication between the MA 10 and the SA 11, and is also used as communication between the MA 10 and the configuration repository 13. The configuration file of the SA 11 is stored in the configuration database 13. The configuration file stores the configuration parameters of the SA 11 set by the user. The configuration parameters stored in the configuration database 13 are persistent data. In this embodiment, the configuration parameter includes the name, data type, usage rights, attributes, and the like of the SA 11. The configuration parameter is set by the user on the interface of the MA 10. When the user sets the configuration parameter, the SA 11 is in the object. A service access interface 120 and a configuration adapting interface 121 are generated on the component acquisition interface 12. The service access interface 120 is used to access the SA 11, read data in the SA 11 or write data into the SA 11. The adaptive configuration interface 121 is configured to update the data in the configuration document in the configuration database 13, that is, to update the configuration parameters of the SA 11.

The underlying data of the SA 11 also includes the configuration parameters of the SA 11, and the configuration parameters stored in the underlying data of the SA 11 are non-persistent data.

As shown in FIG. 2, it is a functional module diagram of the object acquisition interface 12 in FIG. The object acquisition interface 12 includes a receiving module 122, a calling module 123, a determining module 124, and a control module 125. 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 a processor, thereby completing the updating network device 1 of the present invention. The workflow of the data.

The receiving module 122 is configured to receive a request command input by the user on the MA 10, and the request command includes a content of a read operation or a write operation and a write operation on the configuration parameter of the SA 11. For example, the configuration parameters of the SA 11 are obtained or updated. For example, the request command is to read or write the configuration information of the firewall, that is, to read or update the configuration information of the firewall.

The calling module 123 is used to invoke the adaptive configuration interface 121 and the service access interface 120.

The determining module 124 is configured to determine whether the request command is a read operation or a write operation.

If the request command is a write operation, the control module 125 is configured to control the adaptive configuration interface 121 to update the configuration parameter of the SA 11 in the configuration database 13 by using the content of the write operation in the request command. Specifically, first, the adaptive configuration interface 121 locks the configuration database 13 to determine whether the data to be updated is persistent data. If the data to be updated is persistent data, the configuration parameters of the SA 11 in the configuration database 13 are updated, and the configuration database 13 is unlocked after the configuration parameters are updated. If the data to be updated is not persistent, the configuration database 13 is directly unlocked.

The control module 125 is further configured to control the service access interface 120 to access the underlying data of the SA 11 and operate the underlying data. Specifically, when the request command is a write operation, the control module 125 controls the service access interface 120 to update the configuration parameters in the underlying data of the SA 11 according to the request command. When the request command is a read operation, the control module 125 controls the service access interface 120 to read the configuration parameters stored in the underlying data of the SA 11.

As shown in FIG. 3, it is a flowchart of the operation of the preferred embodiment of the network device data updating method of the present invention.

In step S30, the receiving module 122 receives a request command input by the user on the MA 10, and the request command includes a content of a read operation or a write operation and a write operation on the configuration parameters of the SA 11. For example, the configuration parameters of the SA 11 are obtained or updated. For example, the request command is to read or write the configuration information of the firewall, that is, to read or update the configuration information of the firewall.

In step S31, the calling module 123 calls the adaptive configuration interface 121.

In step S32, the determining module 124 determines whether the request command is a read operation or a write operation. If the request command is a write operation, step S33 is performed. If the request command is a read operation, step S34 is directly executed.

In step S33, the control module 125 controls the adaptive configuration interface 121 to update the configuration parameters of the SA 11 in the configuration database 13 by using the content of the write operation in the request command.

In step S34, the calling module 123 invokes the service access interface 120, and the control module 125 controls the service access interface 120 to access the underlying data of the SA 11 and operate the underlying data. The operation includes updating or reading configuration parameters stored in the underlying material of the SA 11 using the request command.

As shown in FIG. 4, it is a refinement flowchart of step S33 in FIG.

In step S330, the adaptive configuration interface 121 locks the configuration database 13. After the configuration database 13 is locked, the user cannot access the data in the configuration database 13.

Step S331, determining whether the data to be updated is persistent data. If the data to be updated is persistent data, step S332 is performed. If the data to be updated is non-persistent data, step S333 is performed.

In step S332, the configuration parameter of the SA 11 in the configuration database 13 is updated by using the content of the write operation in the request command.

In step S333, the configuration database 13 is unlocked.

It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to be limiting, although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments. A person skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or equivalently substituted without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
