Description

Method and system for automatically modifying protection group identification

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and system for automatically modifying a protection group identifier.

Background technique

With the continuous development of communication network technology, the communication traffic is also constantly increasing. Accordingly, the number of protection groups supported by the network element management system responsible for maintenance and management of network element devices is increasing. As network element devices gradually begin to move toward centralized management, more and more small network element management systems are beginning to merge into larger-scale network element management systems.

For the merged NE management system, the user needs to re-plan the device ID (Identification), NE (Internet protocol), and protection group ID of the NE.

The protection group used by the transmission system is generally a service protection group. The service protection group is used to protect a given service. The protection group ID is the unique identifier of the service protection group. Therefore, modifying the protection group ID means modifying the protection group ID. As is well known, in the network element management system, the protection group ID is used as the unique index of the protection group, and direct modification is not allowed. However, it is allowed to delete the protection group first, then re-create or modify the protection group ID in the network management database and perform the lower library processing. The way to modify it.

In the prior art, the existing protection group ID is manually modified. After the protection group is manually deleted, the protected group ID in the network management database is recreated or modified using the planned protection group ID. For the small network element management system, the two methods are more convenient to modify the protection group ID, and it takes less time, but it is not enough for the large network element management system. For example, if the network element management system manages the public 5000 Each network element has an average of four protection groups per network element. Then there are 20,000 protection groups on the network element. When the protection group ID is modified manually, the deletion and creation operations are performed for 20,000 protection groups. Or modify the protection group ID in the network management database. The workload is very large, and the process of configuring the protection group is also very complicated. The problem of protection switching failure is often caused by configuration errors. On the other hand, the protection group ID is also related to other configuration data. Correlation, in order to ensure data consistency, when manually modifying the protection group ID in the network management database, it also needs to modify the configuration data associated with it, further increasing the workload of the engineering maintenance personnel.

In summary, for transmission system engineering, the existing method of manually modifying the protection group ID has a large limitation.

detailed description

The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to enable those skilled in the art to understand the invention. .

The purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a method and system for automatically modifying a protection group identifier, thereby reducing the burden on the engineering maintenance personnel and improving the ease of use and maintainability of the network element management system.

In a specific embodiment of the invention, the technical solution is as follows:

The inventor of the present invention considers that since the protection group ID is a unique identifier of the protection group, the modification of the protection group identifier can be implemented by modifying the protection group ID, and further, according to the value range of the new protection group ID given by the user, A new protection group ID can be automatically assigned to the protection group to achieve the purpose of automatically modifying the protection group identifier. In this embodiment, the method and system for automatically modifying the protection group identifier mainly include the following steps:

Referring to FIG. 1, the method for automatically modifying a protection group identifier provided by this embodiment includes:

S10. Determine a network element to be operated and at least one protection group to be operated on the network element.

S20: Calculate and allocate a new protection group ID of the to-be-protected group according to a value range of the new protection group ID provided by the user;

S30. Modify, according to the new protection group ID, protection group configuration data associated with the new protection group ID.

S40. Perform the following processing on the new protection group ID and the protection group configuration data associated with the network, and reset the other board on the network element associated with the to-be-operated network element after the processing of the lower library is completed.

The above technical solution can automatically calculate a reasonable new protection group ID according to the value range of the new protection group ID given by the user, reduce the workload of modifying the protection group ID, improve the engineering maintenance efficiency, and automatically modify the protection group. The ID-related configuration data ensures the consistency of the protection group and related configuration data.

Specifically, the method includes the following specific implementation steps:

Step A: describe the process of automatically modifying the protection group ID and the precautions. For example, the modified protection group cannot undergo protection switching; after modifying the protection group ID, the next library and reset processing are performed;

Step B: Select an NE and a protection group to be operated, including basic information of the protection group ID, protection type, and protection group name.

Step C: According to the new protection group ID range given by the user, the system automatically calculates and allocates the new protection group ID of the protection group to be modified, and checks other protection group IDs that conflict with the new protection group ID;

Step D: The user confirms and modifies the newly assigned new protection group ID, and the system modifies the protection group associated with the new protection group ID and other configuration data, and saves the protection group before modification and related configuration data (in this embodiment, the data) Used for data recovery);

Step E: The system generates a report description of the operation, and the report description includes the network element and the protection group ID before and after the modification, so that the user can export and save the modification record of the operation;

Step F: Perform the following processing on the modified protection group and the associated configuration data. After the processing is complete, reset the board on the related NE to synchronize the protection group on the device.

In this embodiment, step A mainly describes the process of automatically modifying the protection group ID and the precautions, because the operation of automatically modifying the protection group ID in the protection switching scenario may cause service interruption, so before the protection group ID operation is automatically modified, Check the contents specified in the precautions to ensure that the modified protection group can be switched and restored normally.

In step B, the user selects the operating NE and the protection group on the NE. After the user selects the operating NE, the system automatically calculates the protection group on the NE and lists the NE name, protection type, protection group name, and so on. The basic information of the protection group. Because the transmission system works generally allocates the protection group ID through the ring where the network element is located, the protection group ID can be better allocated by selecting the network element and the protection group.

Step C mainly implements the automatic allocation of the new protection group ID, and calculates the most reasonable new protection group ID according to the value range of the new protection group ID given by the user and the currently selected protection group. If the new protection group ID does not meet the user requirements, the user can modify the protection group ID. In addition, the system needs to perform conflict check on the assigned new protection group ID, and gives basic information about other protection groups that conflict with the new protection group ID.

Step D mainly includes processing the modified protection group and its related configuration data and saving the protection group before modification and related configuration data. After modifying the protection group ID, in order to ensure data consistency, relevant configuration data should be correspondingly In addition, in consideration of the user will cancel the operation, you need to use the protection group before modification and related configuration data for data recovery.

Step E shows the report description of the operation. The report description mainly describes the data modified by the operation, such as the newly assigned protection group ID. The user can conveniently view the data modified by the operation through the report description.

Step F is mainly to synchronize the protection group on the device and the configuration data associated with the protection group, because step D only modifies the data in the network management database, and the data on the device does not change. In order to synchronize the protection group data on the device, it is necessary to The NE performs the following operations. After the operation of the lower library is completed, the related boards are reset.

As shown in FIG. 2, the method for automatically modifying a protection group identifier provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

Step 101: Describe the process and precautions for automatically modifying the protection group ID, including the operations required before and after modifying the protection group ID. If the user cancels the operation, the process ends, otherwise the next step is entered;

Step 102: List the network elements of the entire network in the resource manager. After the user selects the network element to be operated, the system queries all the protection groups on the network element, and displays the network element name and protection group according to the rules in which the protection group ID is in ascending order. ID, Protect the basic information of the protection group, etc., and then the user selects the protection group to be operated. By default, all protection groups are selected. If the user cancels the operation, the process ends, otherwise the next step is entered;

Step 103: The user enters a value range of the new protection group ID. In this embodiment, the format of the value range may be similar to: 11, 34, 35-70. The system checks whether the value range of the protection group ID is valid. After the verification is passed, according to the value range and the previously selected protection group, a reasonable new protection group ID is automatically calculated and displayed on the interface. If the new protection group ID is not calculated, the interface is displayed as Empty, if the user cancels the operation, the process ends, otherwise the next step is entered;

Step 104: If the new protection group ID generated by the system does not meet the user requirements, the user can modify the protection group ID. After the modification is completed, the system automatically checks whether the protection group ID conflicts with other protection group IDs. The protection group displays the basic information of the conflict protection group. If the user cancels the operation, the process ends, otherwise the next step is entered;

Step 105: After the user confirms the modified new protection group ID, the system saves the configuration data related to the protection group ID before the modification, and saves the configuration data related to the new protection group ID in the network management database. If the user cancels the operation, the system recovers. Modify the configuration data related to the protection group ID before the modification, and end the operation, otherwise proceed to the next step;

Step 106: The system generates a report description of the operation, where the report description includes the name of the network element, the protection group ID before and after the modification, and the like, and the user may export the report description.

Step 107: Perform a download operation on the relevant network element of the operation. After the download is completed, the board on the related network element is reset, and the operation ends.

The step 103 automatically calculates a new protection group ID process, as shown in FIG. 3, which mainly includes the following steps:

Step 201: Obtain a protection group that needs to be modified and a value range of a new protection group ID given by the user;

Step 202: Find a protection group label and a protection group with the same protection group ID, and put the protection group list together in the queue container;

Step 203: The protection group list in the queue container is sequentially taken out, and it is determined whether the protection group ID in the list is within the value range of the new protection group ID. If the value of the new protection group ID is within the range, the process proceeds to step 205. Otherwise do the next step;

Step 204: In the range of the value of the new protection group ID, find the unused protection group ID. If the protection group ID conflicts with the currently operated protection group ID, continue to search for the unused protection group ID until the match is found. The new protection group ID is required. If the new protection group ID that meets the conditions is not found at the end, go to step 203 to continue processing; otherwise, proceed to the next step;

Step 205: Save the assigned new protection group ID. If all the protection groups in the list have been processed, proceed to the next step, otherwise go to step 203 to continue processing;

Step 206: Perform a protection group ID conflict check on the assigned new protection group ID. If there is a conflict protection group in the network element protection group of the entire network, the basic information of the protection group of the conflict protection group is displayed.

In this embodiment, the process of modifying the protection group ID and the associated data in step 105, as shown in FIG. 4, further includes the following steps:

Step 301: According to the protection group ID before modification, find the relevant protection group, replace the original protection group ID with the assigned new protection group ID, and the remaining protection group attributes, such as protection relationship, protection parameter, and port service information remain unchanged. ;

Step 302: Find the associated configuration data according to the protection group ID before modification, and replace the original protection group ID with the assigned new protection group ID in the associated configuration data.

Step 303: Delete the relevant protection group and the associated configuration data in the network management database according to the protection group ID before the modification;

Step 304: The modified protection group and the associated configuration data are stored in the network management database. If the step fails, the operation of step 303 is performed.
