Network element management device and message processing method

Abstract

The invention provides a network element management device and a message processing method. The network element management device comprises a physical interface, a global namespace, a private namespace and a soft switch module, and the global namespace is used for managing routing of a superior network element; the private namespace is used for managing routing of a lower-level network element; the soft switch module is used for connecting the global namespace, the private namespace and the physical interface. According to the network element management device, the routing of the superior network element and the routing of the subordinate network element are respectively managed by adopting the global namespace and the private namespace, so that the routing of the superior network elementand the routing of the subordinate network element can be isolated, the routing of a global IP address and the routing of a local area network IP address and a private IP address can be isolated, andexisting functions of the network element manager are not influenced by private network routing. Moreover, hardware equipment does not need to be additionally deployed, the network topology and routerconfiguration of a client do not need to be modified, and the existing network topology is not influenced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a network element management device and a message processing method. Background technique [0002] In the actual deployment of microwave products, the network scale may be very large, and there may be tens of thousands of devices in the network at the same time, and the microwave network usually has a chain or tree network topology. However, the IP resources that customers can provide are limited and precious. The problem of insufficient global IP resources often occurs, and each device cannot be assigned a global IP address for network management. Especially for the capacity expansion of the existing network, customers are usually not allowed to change the topology of the existing network or add other devices on the network management side. [0003] If IP In IP technology is used to manage devices using LAN IP, the network management server needs to have a route to each...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Establishing tunnels in the global network namespace will also generate a large number of gre-type virtual network interfaces, affecting some commands and system calls that depend on network interfaces

If it is directly configured in the global space of the network management server, it may affect the operation of network management software functions

For example, the network management software may query the network card information of the device.
