Embodiment
The objective of the invention is provides a kind of simple to operate in order how to overcome in the prior art network management problem of a plurality of versions of compatible same equipment, effectively and correctly manages the method with a plurality of versions of a equipment.
The method of compatible with proxy different editions in a kind of network management that the present invention proposes may further comprise the steps:
(1), each version number on record agency in the management station, and the feature list number supported of definition different editions;
(2), management station obtains the version number on the equipment;
(3), management station is according to the different editions that obtains number loading function corresponding point.
Further, the feature list of the version number's correspondence that defines in the management station also can be the MIB title that each version is supported.
Further, what the version corresponding function acted on behalf of in record in the management station can be a table, also can be a file, or other writes down the mode of this information.
Further, management station obtains device version number, usually obtain by this variable of the sysDescr (system description, system Description) in the set of systems of definition among the RFC (Request ForComments) 1213 with SNMP, it has comprised the version information of equipment.
Snmp protocol has defined the form of packet, and the information exchange between network manager and the administration agent, and it is also controlling the MIB data object of administration agent.It externally provides three kinds of basic operation command that are used to control mib object.They are: Set, Get and Trap, wherein Set is a privileged command, can change the configuration of equipment or the operating condition of control appliance by this privileged command.
Acting on behalf of version below in conjunction with the compatible difference in 1,2 pairs of network managements of the present invention of accompanying drawing describes:
The 101st step: the partition functionality point, if equipment is supported a series of MIB, and these MIB comprise following several MIB table and simple variable: table1, table2, table3, oid1, oid2; So corresponding webmaster operation just can split, and is expressed as follows 1-1:
Table 1-1
Function point The MIB content The function point content
Function point 1 table1 Port arrangement
Function point 2 table2 Routing iinformation
Function point 3 table3 The interface flow statistics
Function point 4 oid1 Preserve configuration
Function point 5 oid2 Restarting equipment
Further, if for table1, do not support SNMP Set function, function point can also be continued to split: display port information, configured port information, current version is not supported the Set function like this, just can only comprise this function point of display port information, and follow-up version is supported the Set function, and the function point of successive versions just comprises display port information and these two function points of configured port information.
The 102nd step: keeping records in management station, the mapping table of record version this shop of increase and version function in management station, its concrete structure such as following table 1-2,1-3:
Table 1-2
Device version number The function group
Version A Function group A
Version B Feature group-b
... ...
Table 1-3
Function group A Feature group-b
Function point 1
Function point 2 ×
... ... ...
In store such table 1-2, two tables of 1-3 in management station have identified the detailed function point of each version correspondence;
The 103rd step: management station carries out network management;
The 104th, 105 step: when management station managed this equipment, management station obtained the concrete version information of this equipment by the SNMP access means;
The 106th step: judge whether management station supports this version,, change step 107,, need management station to increase corresponding function, change step 101 if do not support if support;
The 107th step: the function point of supporting according to each version loads function corresponding, so that carry out corresponding bookkeeping.
If increased new equipment in the system, and its function and version are all upgraded, so then will carry out corresponding modification the mapping table of management station's side, and also corresponding up-to-date version number of the version number of newly added equipment---version C; And again management station is upgraded.The operation that corresponding this new equipment is supported just can be distinguished according to the version of this new equipment by management station like this, just can manage new equipment.
Amended mapping table is shown in following table 1-4,1-5:
Table 1-4
Device version number The function group
Version A Function group A
Version B Feature group-b
Version C Function group C
... ...
Table 1-5
Function group A Feature group-b Function group C
Function point 1
Function point 2 ×
Function point 3 × ×
Function point 4 × ×
... ... ... ...
As above show shown in 1-4, the 1-5, the function group C of device version correspondence has increased by two function points: function point 3 and function point 4, and these two functions are not supported in function group A and feature group-b, therefore management station's equipment to version A and version B when loading according to device version can not load into these two function points yet, simultaneously, function group C has also finished two function points that function group A and feature group-b all have: function point 1 and function point 2, these two function points need not to do new exploitation, have reduced workload.Guaranteed that management station manages the equipment of different editions.
Consult shown in Figure 1ly, when a management station manages the equipment of a plurality of versions, increase the correspondence table of version and function in management station, before managing operation, operation to distinct device is distinguished according to version number by the version number of every equipment of inquiry earlier.
This method is simple, and the problem of management of the equipment of both compatible different editions can not increase the extra work of agency and management station yet, has realized a kind of correct effective way to manage.
Beneficial effect of the present invention:
Compared with prior art, adopt the method for the invention, introduced the mapping table of version, guaranteed when newly added equipment or updating apparatus on the one hand to function in management station, even its version is different with the version of other equipment, can not influence the visit of management station to it yet; On the other hand, the version function before equipment side need not to take into account has also improved the reliability of system; And only need upgrade and just can realize management redaction equipment to management station.The development and the application of SNMP network management technology have been promoted effectively.The present invention does not rely on other outer supplementary meanss of SNMP.
Certainly; the present invention also can have other various embodiments; under the situation that does not deviate from spirit of the present invention and essence thereof; those of ordinary skill in the art work as can make various corresponding changes and distortion according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection range of the appended claim of the present invention.
