A method and configuration server for implementing zero-configuration on-line of network equipment

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a configuration server for implementing zero-configuration on-line of network devices. The method includes: setting an address pool, creating a device configuration template, and generating a configuration file according to the configuration template; The corresponding relationship of the device configuration template; sending the corresponding relationship to the mobile terminal; receiving the second corresponding relationship sent by the mobile terminal, and combining the first MAC address and the first IP address and the first IP address in the second corresponding relationship The IP address of the configuration server is sent to the DHCP server; receiving the configuration file acquisition request sent by the first device according to the IP address of the configuration server; according to the first IP address in the acquisition request, from the second corresponding Find the corresponding first device configuration file in the relationship; and send the first device configuration file to the first device. It effectively reduces the error-prone probability of traditional manual operation and improves configuration accuracy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of data communication, in particular to a method and a configuration server for realizing zero-configuration online of network equipment. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of IT technology, more and more services are carried on the IT network, the scale of the network is getting larger, the structure is becoming more and more complex, and the configuration of equipment is becoming more and more complex, which poses higher demands on network administrators. requirements. In a large-scale campus network or data center, there are hundreds or thousands of network devices, and there has been a lack of good solutions to the problems of repeated configuration and heavy workload caused by batches of devices going online. The traditional manual operation mode not only requires a lot of work, but also Error-prone and inefficient. [0003] For the effective operation of the entire network, unified config...

Problems solved by technology

In a large-scale campus network or data center, there are hundreds or thousands of network devices, and there has been a lack of good solutions to the problems of repeated configuration and heavy workload caused by batches of devices going online. The traditional manual operation mode not only requires a lot of work, but also Error prone and inefficient

[0015] The disadvantage of this solution is that it is necessary to enter device information on the configuration server in advance, including device model, device name, device MAC, SN number, device location and other information. It will be troublesome to collect device MAC and SN. When there are many devices, the input work is cumbersome. , and error-prone

[0020] The disadvantage of this solution is that all devices are required to support the TR069 protocol; device information needs to be entered on the configuration server in advance, including device model, device name, device MAC, SN number, device location and other information. When there are many devices, the input work is cumbersome. and error prone

[0026] The disadvantages of this solution are: all devices are required to support SDN features; how to accurately control the flow table and configuration of devices by SDN controllers has certain challenges, especially the hardware differences of network devices are large, and the differences in hardware capacity are too large; Unified simple algorithm implementation
