Embodiment 1

[0067] refer to figure 2 , figure 2 It is an implementation flow chart of a method for controlling automatic deployment of network devices provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which is described in detail as follows:

[0068] In step S201, the network management device acquires network topology information of the network device in the existing network, where the network topology information includes the interface and IP address of the uplink device directly connected to the network device;

[0069] Among them, the existing network represents the actual network.

[0070] In this embodiment, the network device includes a network switch, a router, and an optical network terminal (English: optical network terminal, abbreviation: ONT).

[0071] In this embodiment, the upstream device includes a network switch, a router, and an optical line terminal (English: optical line terminal, abbreviation: OLT).

[0072] The network device refers to the device that has not ...

Embodiment 2

[0097] As an embodiment of the present invention, the acquiring network topology information of the network device in the existing network includes:

[0098] The network management device obtains the interface table of the upstream device and the address resolution protocol ARP table of the network device, and the interface table of the upstream device includes the corresponding relationship between each interface of the upstream device and the respective media access control MAC addresses of the respective interfaces , the ARP table of the network device includes the corresponding relationship between the IP address of the interface directly connected to the upstream device and the network device and the MAC address of the interface directly connected to the upstream device and the network device;

[0099] According to the interface table of the uplink device and the ARP table of the network device, obtain the MAC address of the interface of the uplink device directly connecte...

Embodiment 3

[0129] As an embodiment of the present invention, detecting whether the network topology information in the existing network matches the preset network topology information includes:

[0130] Check whether the physical interface and IP address of the network topology information in the live network match the preset physical interface and IP address; or,

[0131] Check whether the VLAN interface and IP address of the physical interface in the network topology information on the live network match with the VLAN interface and IP address to which the preset physical interface belongs; or,

[0132] Detect whether the physical interface of the network topology information in the existing network, the VLAN interface and IP address to which the physical interface belongs, and the preset physical interface, the VLAN interface to which the preset physical interface belongs, and the upstream device IP address, whether they match.

[0133] In this embodiment, there are three schemes for d...

Abstract

The present invention applies to the technical field of data communications. A method, an apparatus and a system for controlling auto-provisioning of a network device are provided, and the method includes: obtaining the network topology information of the network device in the current network, and the network topology information comprising the interface and IP address of the uplink device directly connected with the network device; detecting whether the network topology information of the current network matches with a preset network topology information; if yes, transmitting, from a network management device to the network device, the information for initiating Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) or File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and the identifiers of operating system files required by auto-provisioning and / or identifiers of configuration files, so that the network device can obtain the operating system files and / or the configuration files. By detecting whether the network topology information of the current network matches with the preset network topology information, the present invention solves the problem of inability to auto-provision when a spare part of the network device is replaced, and enables network devices at the same place to plug and play during auto-provisioning.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of data communication, and in particular relates to a method, device and system for controlling automatic deployment of network equipment. Background technique [0002] A network in a data center area usually consists of multiple network devices, such as multiple core switches and hundreds of access switches. When a network device is added to the network, automatic provisioning (English: provisioning) of the network device is required. Automatic deployment refers to the process of loading operating system files and / or configuration files to complete the configuration of related functions and services when a network device is powered on for the first time. [0003] In the usual solution for automatic deployment of network devices, the automatic deployment of network devices can be completed according to the media access control (English: media access control, abbreviation: MAC) address or serial number (Engl...
