Based on the above description, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to FIG. 3 and specific embodiments. The specific data flow is as follows:

Step 301: After the cloud computing device is started, send a registration message to the master device, and register the cloud computing device according to the device information in the registration message.

The cloud computing device is configured with the IP address of the master device, and the cloud computing device is configured to send a registration message to the master device. The cloud computing device starts to establish a link with the master device. After the link is successfully established, the cloud device is configured. Sends a registration message to the master device based on the configured IP address of the master device. The device information includes: device type, machine name, IP address, port number, and operating system type. The cloud computing device communicates with the Master device based on TCP/IP.

Step 302: The master device saves the device information in the registration message.

The master device may be composed of two-master active and standby devices.

Step 303: The master device returns a response message of successful registration to the cloud computing device that sends the registration message, and the cloud computing device is included in the management of the master device.

Step 304: After the agent device is started, the device information is sent to the master device to obtain the device information. Interest.

The agent device is configured with the IP address of the master device, and the agent device is configured to send the device information acquisition message to the master device after startup. The agent device is the network management agent of the cloud computing device and is the real network element in the implementation system of the cloud computing device management. After the agent device is started, the device actively establishes a link with the master device. After the link is successfully established, the device sends a device information acquisition message to the master device according to the configured IP address of the master device. The Agent device communicates with the Master device based on TCP/IP.

Step 305: After receiving the device information acquisition message, the master device uploads the full device information of the cloud computing device managed by the master device to the agent device.

The full amount of information of the device refers to: device information of all cloud computing devices currently managed by the master device. The master device uploads the full amount of information to the agent device according to the agreed format. The predetermined format may be: the current device number, the device information of each device, and the reserved field are sequentially arranged and transmitted.

Step 306: After receiving the full amount of information of the device, the agent device saves it in its own memory. Step 307: After the network management server starts, the request for obtaining the device information is sent to the agent device by using an SNMP GET message.

The network management server is configured with the IP address of the agent device. After the network management server is started, when the user clicks the agent device item on the network management interface provided by the network management server, the network management server triggers the network management server to send an SNMP GET message to the agent device according to the configured IP address of the agent device. The Agent device communicates with the NMS server based on SNMP.

Step 308: After receiving the request from the network management server, the agent device reads the full amount of the device information from the internal memory and sends the information to the network management server through the SNMP GET ACK message.

After receiving the SNMP GET message, the agent device uploads the full amount of information stored in the memory to the network management server through the SNMP GET ACK message.

Step 309: The network management server receives and saves the full amount of information of the device. After receiving the SNMP GET ACK message, the NMS server saves the full amount of device information in its own cloud computing device table. After that, when the user clicks the Agent device item on the network management interface provided by the network management server, the network management server reads the device information from the cloud computing device table and displays it on the network management interface, and does not need to send an SNMP GET message to the agent device. Get device information.

Step 310: When adding or deleting a cloud computing device in an implementation system managed by the cloud computing device,

The master device actively uploads the full amount of updated device information managed by the master device to the agent device.

Specifically, when the cloud computing device is added to the implementation system of the cloud computing device management, the cloud computing device first sends a registration message to the master device, and the master device saves the device information in the registration message, and adds corresponding device information based on the full amount of information of the original device. The master device actively uploads the updated device full amount information to the agent device. When the cloud computing device management system deletes the cloud computing device, the master device removes the deleted cloud computing device device information from the original device full amount information, and then The updated device full amount information is uploaded to the Agent device.

After the cloud device is managed, the master device monitors the cloud computing device that it manages. That is, the master device sends heartbeat messages to all cloud computing devices managed by the master device. The party that receives the heartbeat message responds with a response message in time to confirm the chain. Road conditions and equipment conditions. The master device and each cloud computing device confirm the management and managed relationship between the two by periodically sending heartbeat messages. By timing the heartbeat, it can be determined whether the other party is running normally.

Specifically, when the heartbeat message sent by a cloud computing device does not receive the response message replied by the master device, or the number of times the master device replies to the response message does not reach the set value, the chain between the master device and the master device is determined. If there is a problem with the path, the link between the master device and the master device is re-established and the registration message is sent to the master device. The master device registers the cloud computing device according to the device information in the received registration message, and registers with the cloud device. The computing device responds to the response message and incorporates the cloud computing device into management;

When the heartbeat message sent by the master device does not receive the response message replied by the corresponding cloud computing device, or the number of times the response message of the corresponding cloud computing device is not received reaches the set value, the master After the device determines that the corresponding cloud computing device is out of management, the device information of the cloud computing device is removed from the full amount of information of the device managed by the device.

Step 311: The agent device saves the updated device full amount information uploaded by the master device. The device full amount information originally stored by the agent device is updated to be replaced by the updated device full amount information transmitted by the master device.

Step 312: The agent device returns a device full information update completion response message to the master device.

Step 313: The agent device actively uploads the updated device full amount information to the network management server through the SNMP Trap message.

Step 314: The network management server saves the updated device full amount information for the user to read.

After receiving the SNMP Trap message, the NMS server replaces the full amount of the original device saved in the cloud computing device table with the updated device full amount information.

It can be seen from the foregoing description of the embodiments that, by using the implementation of the present invention, an undetermined number or a number of cloud computing devices in the cloud computing can be conveniently managed. The current general SNMP transmission information is used between the agent device and the network management server, so that the agent device in the present invention can be conveniently accessed to various network management servers, and the ease of use and scalability are good. After the cloud computing device is managed, device information such as alarms and performance statistics about device addition and subtraction can be easily collected.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
