Preferred embodiment of the invention

It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

The present invention provides a method for reporting alarms of a network device. Referring to FIG. 1 , in an embodiment, the method for reporting alarms of the network device includes:

Step S101: The network device generates different levels of alarm information, and generates corresponding alarm messages.

In this embodiment, the network device may generate alarm information in a normal state or an abnormal state. For example, when the network device is in an abnormal state, the network device needs to report the abnormality to the server, so as to perform abnormal processing in time to make the network The device resumes normal working status as soon as possible; for example, when the network device is in a normal state, it sends a prompt message to the server to act as a prompt or perform the next processing.

In this embodiment, the alarm packet includes the identifier information, the address information, the port number, the alarm content, the priority information, and the generation time of the alarm packet.

In this embodiment, the network device generates different levels of alarm information. Generally, the network device can be classified according to the urgency of the alarm, for example, it can be classified into general alarm information, severe alarm information, and fatal alarm information, etc., where fatal The alarm information corresponds to the highest level. The severity alarm information corresponds to the next highest level. The general alarm information corresponds to the normal level.

In step S102, the level is mapped to the priority field of the alarm packet, and the alarm packets of different priorities are obtained.

In step S103, the alarm packets of different priorities are reported to the server.

In this embodiment, the network device generates different levels of alarm information, and encapsulates the alarm information into an alarm message. The levels can be defined, for example, as the highest level, the second highest level, and the normal level.

According to the level defined in the alarm information, it is mapped to the priority field in the alarm message. The priority field may include a differentiated service code point according to the network device through which the alarm message is transmitted. , DSCP) field, at least one of a Priority field and an EXP field.

The present embodiment does not need to notify or open a special transmission channel to transmit an alarm message by using another specific message, that is, the alarm information is encapsulated into an ordinary message format, and the priority field of the alarm message is mapped according to the level, and the message can be directly used through the message. If the priority of the corresponding alarm packet is obtained, the alarm packet with the highest priority is reported to the server. The alarm packet can be reported to the server quickly and timely.

In this embodiment, especially when the network is congested, for example, for a fatal alarm message, it can be given the highest priority to identify its relative importance and use the network device to provide Various priority forwarding policies and congestion avoidance mechanisms provide special transmission services for fatal alarm messages.

When the network is congested or overloaded, the highest-priority alarm packet can be forwarded to the server, and the lowest-priority alarm packet can be discarded or delayed to ensure the priority. The highest alarm packets can be reported to the server in time, which can effectively allocate network bandwidth and utilize network resources reasonably.

When an abnormality occurs, the network device of the embodiment generates alarm packets of different levels and generates an alarm packet, and then maps the level to the priority field of the alarm packet, thereby obtaining alarm packets of different priorities, so that priority is obtained. The alarm packet with the highest priority is processed and reported, and the alarm packet with the lowest priority is processed and reported. The network bandwidth is effectively used to prevent the delay or loss of the highest priority alarm packet. Reliability, and enable it to timely handle abnormal conditions of network devices and improve network security.

In this embodiment, the QoS scheduling can allocate and schedule network resources according to the requirements of the user, and provide different quality of service for the alarm packets of different priorities, and the alarm packets with strong real-time and important priority are processed preferentially; A strong general alarm packet provides a lower processing priority, and the highest priority alarm packet is processed and reported.

In this embodiment, the QoS is scheduled according to the priority, and the alarm with the highest priority is reported to the server, and the highest priority alarm is reported in time to prevent the highest priority alarm. The file is delayed or lost, and the abnormal condition of the network device can be processed in time to improve the security of the device network.

In an embodiment, the network device alarm information is acquired in advance, such as the abnormality of the router and the severity of the abnormality, and the level of the corresponding alarm information is configured according to the abnormality of the hub and the severity of the abnormality. If the hub is abnormal and the severity of the abnormality is high, You can configure the corresponding alarm level to be higher or higher, and then generate higher or highest priority alarm packets based on the level. In this embodiment, the alarm level may be configured by the network device itself, or the alarm level may be configured by other devices.
