Problems solved by technology

If the software running on the network elements needs to be upgraded for some reason, the general method is to upgrade each network element separately through the host computer of the network management 102. This method is time-consuming and laborious, especially when many network elements are managed. Moreover, some network element software may not be upgraded due to omissions

Embodiment Construction

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described here are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] Fig. 2 is a flow chart of the software upgrading method according to the present invention. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes the following steps:

[0028] Step S202, after any network element in the network receives the upgrade software from the sender, it upgrades its own software of the network element, and updates the software information table of the network element;

[0029] Step S204, searching for adjacent network elements adjacent to the network element that need to upgrade software; and

[0030] Step S206, sending the upgrade software to the found neighboring network elements that need to be upgraded.

[0031] The software upgrade method f...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for upgrading software of network net element, and a net element using the software upgrading method and having the software upgrading device, wherein the method comprises the following steps: receiving upgrade software from a receiver by any net element in a network, upgrading the software of the net element, and updating the software information table of the net element; searching a neighboring net element adjacent to the net element and having a software to be upgraded; and transmitting the upgrade software to the neighboring net element to be upgraded. Therefore, the workload is reduced, the possibility of omit produced during the software upgrading of the net element is reduced, and the pressure on network communication brought by conventional upgrade manner is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a software upgrading method and device for realizing software upgrading of network elements, a network element using the software upgrading method, and a network element having the software upgrading device. Background technique [0002] As shown in FIG. 1 , a diagram of a typical equipment monitoring system is provided. Wherein, the device monitoring system usually consists of a monitoring device (network manager) 102 and a monitored device (network element) 104 (104a, 104b, 104c, 104d, and 104e in FIG. 1). [0003] Sometimes the network elements managed by the network manager 102 are few, but sometimes there are many, even hundreds or even thousands. If the software running on the network elements needs to be upgraded for some reason, the general method is to upgrade each network element separately through the host computer of the network management 102. This method is time-consuming and laborious, especially in the case of ...
