Description

A normalized network maintenance method and maintenance system for multi-type equipment

technical field

The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent network communication, in particular to a multi-type equipment normalized network maintenance method and maintenance system.

Background technique

The communication network is composed of various types of communication devices interconnected in a specific way. The failure of any device may cause network performance degradation or communication interruption. Therefore, effective management and maintenance of devices is very important for the stable operation of the network. significance. However, the existing maintenance system often has some deficiencies or defects. For example, the equipment itself needs to provide some maintenance means to achieve the purpose of maintenance, or although the maintenance function can be realized but cannot be fully covered, this has formed hidden dangers in equipment maintenance to a certain extent. For example, it is impossible to collect information in time for early warning of problems, or it is difficult to diagnose and troubleshoot faults after equipment failures.

In addition, due to the lack of a unified command specification, devices of different types and companies often require different maintenance commands. In order to maintain multiple types of devices, users need to learn the maintenance commands of multiple devices, which increases the requirements for users. In order to perform certain maintenance on the equipment, the user needs to input a large number of commands, and the maintenance efficiency is low and error-prone.

In the prior art, when maintaining the device itself, the device usually provides a command line interface. Commonly used commands for device maintenance include four categories, namely, configuration, status check, information tracking, and self-diagnosis. The configuration commands are mainly to configure the board, configure the network protocol address of the interface, configure various parameters, etc. The status check commands are mainly to check the running status of the single board, check the running status of the interface, check the running status of the task, check the memory usage, etc. , information tracking commands mainly include tracking temperature, tracking CPU usage, and tracking interface indicators. For example, base station equipment has commands to track transmit power and received signal strength. Loopback and other commands.

Different devices use different command line styles. For example, for viewing version commands, some devices use the "show version" (view version) command, while others use "display version" (display version) or "dsp version" ( Simply view the version) command, or use the "tell versin" (tell version) or "version" (version) command.

For a typical mobile communication network, it includes network subsystem (NSS), operation and maintenance subsystem (OSS), base station subsystem (BSS), and the network subsystem includes mobile switches, packet data gateways, user authentication equipment, etc. , where the operation and maintenance subsystem includes a maintenance station, an alarm station, a network management system, etc., and where the base station subsystem includes a base station, a base station controller, and the like. For a single communication device, such as base station controller equipment, there will also be some auxiliary equipment such as environmental monitoring, power monitoring, transmission access equipment, and Ethernet interconnection equipment. The command line for all these devices may not be consistent, or may have similarities.

Due to the multiple styles of device maintenance command lines, maintenance personnel are easily confused, which is not conducive to device maintenance. After maintenance personnel are familiar with one command line style, it is difficult to accept other types of command line styles. Although the commands achieve the same goal, The command line style is different from the user's usage habits, which will bring poor subjective experience to the user; in addition, the method of device maintenance by issuing commands is relatively primitive, requiring people to issue a large number of commands, and the operation is complicated; the command line maintenance method is not Technical solutions for maintenance, such as installation test maintenance during equipment installation, health check maintenance during normal system operation, and fault diagnosis maintenance after equipment problems occur, all require different maintenance solutions. These solutions are relatively complicated and are It is a collection of multiple commands and needs to execute corresponding information judgments, so it cannot be reflected in the command line interface; moreover, if the device is maintained through the command line, the output result is text information, and it needs to be further filtered by the operator's brain to realize problem warning and Fault judgment, if the operator is negligent, or the operator has a weak sense of responsibility, or the operator lacks experience, it is likely to cause the problem to be missed.

In the prior art, maintenance of a single device can also be performed through the World Wide Web (WWW). Due to the increasingly widespread application of Internet and Intranet technologies, some devices directly provide a WEB operation interface in order to provide a user-friendly interface. Users can directly connect to the device through a browser to observe the operating status of the device. However, the WEB maintenance function provided by the device itself needs to embed a WEB server program inside the device, which has high requirements for the device software and hardware system, and many devices cannot provide this function due to limited processor capabilities; WEB maintenance implemented on a single device It does not reduce the workload of maintenance personnel. Different devices have different WEB maintenance programs. In order to maintain multiple devices, you must connect to these devices and perform corresponding maintenance operations. Moreover, the WEB maintenance method is still not a technical solution for maintenance. Compared with the command line operation method, the actual operation of the WEB method is more complicated.

In order to maintain a plurality of devices, maintenance through the World Wide Web (WEB) in the prior art has gradually developed to use a network management system to maintain devices. Although the network management system can better realize the management of the entire network, because the network management system often focuses on the operation of the entire network and does not pay attention to individual devices, it is usually difficult to maintain the devices in terms of device fault diagnosis and other aspects. In addition, because the network management system is too complex and the operation efficiency is low, it is often not enough to maintain the equipment through the network management system. Using the network management system to maintain equipment is still not a technical solution for maintenance.

Fig. 2 is the main flow chart of the present invention.

Detailed ways

The specific implementation manners of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Please refer to Fig. 1, the module structure diagram of the present invention, the present invention is a kind of multi-type equipment normalized network maintenance system, and this system comprises a network client computer that browser is arranged, and described multi-type equipment is equipped with maintenance test module , the maintenance test module includes a bottom interface, a command processing submodule and at least one network maintenance submodule, the bottom interface is used to accept equipment maintenance information submitted by users, and the command processing submodule is a script module for built-in normalization commands Line, accept the maintenance request input by the user and receive the equipment normalized maintenance command information transmitted by the network maintenance sub-module of the maintenance test module, the network maintenance sub-module is used to receive the equipment normalization maintenance command received from the bottom interface of the maintenance test module The information is transmitted to the command processing sub-module of the maintenance test module, and the equipment is maintained according to the analysis of the maintenance information by the command processing sub-module of the maintenance test module.

Please refer to Fig. 2 for the flow chart of the present invention. First, the user submits a maintenance request to the equipment to be maintained through the client computer browser to the normalized command line of the maintenance test module command processing submodule of the equipment to be maintained. The user opens the browser, and inputs the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer running the maintenance test program module in the address bar. The user specifies the equipment that needs to be checked currently through the command line interface or the graphical interface provided by the maintenance test module. According to the regulations of the hypertext connection protocol (HTTP), at this time, the user browser will send a maintenance request message to the corresponding address. Taking Microsoft browser (IE) as an example, the sent content roughly includes the language type, host IP address, etc., and the fields are separated by carriage return and line feed characters. The content of one field can be separated into multiple consecutively sent IP packets. Has no effect on server reception.

Next, after the network maintenance sub-module of the maintenance test module receives the corresponding maintenance request message, the command processing sub-module of the maintenance test module is a program running inside the software to judge whether the message requested by the user passes the authentication, and reports the authentication result to The message is returned to the client computer, and those who have not passed the authentication continue to send the request message.

In order to realize maintenance for various types of equipment, the present invention designs a maintenance test module installed on various types of equipment. This module includes a network maintenance sub-module. The normalization of the command line, Perform maintenance on multiple types of equipment according to the scheduled maintenance plan, and perform maintenance on multiple types of equipment in the form of network WEB.

The above-mentioned maintenance test program module can be connected to multiple devices at the same time, so as to realize the operation on multiple devices.

The maintenance test module has a built-in network maintenance sub-module, that is, the WEB service process. This process receives the WEB request message message from the user from the bottom interface, and sends the message to the command processing sub-module for processing. The command processing sub-module extracts the WEB message The maintenance request is processed, and the command processing sub-module obtains the information that needs to be returned after processing, and sends the information that needs to be returned to the user through the bottom interface in the form of a message.

The maintenance test module implements normalized commands through its command processing sub-module, that is, the built-in command line conversion upper-level script module, that is, to complete the same function for different types of equipment, and use the same command to operate. The normalized command line is built into the command line conversion of the maintenance test module, that is, the command processing submodule, and the normalized command at least includes the device type, device number and the name or type of the maintenance test task.

For the command processing sub-module of command line conversion, take the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) query of different types of base stations as an example, and the following commands can be used for base station equipment to query:

str infotrace: brdtp = [param1], brdid = [param2], item = "rssi"

Among them, parameter 1 (param1) is the board type, and parameter 2 (param2) is the board number (ID). Different base stations have different board types and board IDs. The command processing sub-module judges the type of device to be checked, and fills in the correct parameters according to the judgment results of the device configuration check and single board check, and then sends the command to check.

The present invention uses the normalization command "RSSI" to perform the corresponding check. The inspection process is as follows: the user issues a normalized command number ID [param3], and specifies the ID of the base station to be checked currently, where param3 is the specific ID of the base station. After executing the command, the command processing submodule automatically executes the command through the device Obtain the configuration of the base station and analyze the current carrier frequencies of the base station; after the user sends the normalization command RSSI, the command processing sub-module automatically checks the RSSI indicators of all carrier frequencies of the specified base station through the device command line; returns the obtained response to the user.

After checking, the present invention can also judge whether the corresponding index number is in the correct interval. For example, the following results are returned:

BTRMO: RSSI Rept: Main Avg＝-1167, Main Peak＝-1155, Main Ratio＝0

According to the received signal strength index knowledge of the mobile communication network, -2000 to -910 can be considered normal, while -900 to -810 can be considered slight interference, and below -800 can be considered serious interference. The normalization command executes the script to judge the result and prompts the corresponding information. For example, the corresponding digital field is displayed in green for normal conditions, and the corresponding digital field is displayed in red for interference conditions.

Then, the network maintenance sub-module of the device to be maintained returns a maintenance form to the client computer, and the client computer receives the normalized device maintenance information submitted by the user through the maintenance form, and the user selects the maintenance plan to be executed through the command line interface or the graphical interface, Maintenance information is achieved through the normalized command line in the web page.

The present invention can implement various maintenance schemes through script customization, including equipment installation and testing maintenance schemes, equipment health check maintenance schemes, equipment fault diagnosis maintenance schemes, equipment information collection maintenance schemes and other types of maintenance schemes. These maintenance schemes are the judgments of the operation commands and the response information to the operation commands that need to be executed during the corresponding maintenance, and the schemes that implement the corresponding operations in the form of scripts. The maintenance scheme is to combine the equipment operation commands and respond to the equipment The action of judging the information forms a script, so as to realize the maintenance of the scheme form. On the other hand, the maintenance plan summarizes the items required for daily maintenance inspections, which can replace manual online maintenance of equipment, and is a solidification of maintenance experience.

The WEB maintenance of various types of devices involves two issues: 1. Refreshing of the user WEB interface; 2. Submission of WEB maintenance commands. Wherein, the timing refresh of the WEB interface of the client can be realized through the built-in webpage script (JAVASCRIPT) in the webpage, that is, by writing the corresponding script in the output webpage, the timing refresh of the data in the webpage can be realized. Wherein, the submission of the WEB maintenance command is realized by using a built-in webpage form (FORM) in the webpage. Forms can be used to implement graphical interface elements such as buttons (BUTTON), tick selection (CHECKBOX), multiple selections (RADIO), text areas (TEXTAREA), text bars (TEXT), pull-down menus (SELECT), etc. on the web page. A combination of these elements can form a maintenance web page.

For example, for the health check and maintenance plan of the base station equipment, it can focus on verifying the system function to confirm whether there is any abnormality in the operation of the system. The following five inspections can be focused on: 1. Check and analyze device alarms; 2. Check and analyze device configuration; 3. Check and analyze the presence and working status information of each board of the device; 4. Check each board of the device Temperature, CPU occupancy rate, temperature alarm threshold, environmental monitoring data, heating plate and fan working status; 5. Check and analyze base station equipment carrier frequency transmit power, carrier frequency received signal strength indicator (RSSI), baseband input level (IO) and other indicators are normal, through these indicators to confirm whether the base station is interfered and whether the base station transmission power is normal.

Then, the network maintenance sub-module sends the normalized equipment maintenance information message received from the bottom interface of the maintenance test module to the command processing sub-module of the maintenance test module, and the data format in the message is a simple combination of item selection information in the form , where each field is generated by the corresponding graphic element.

Finally, the command processing sub-module of the maintenance test module fills in the parameters of the device to be maintained in the normalized command line according to the normalized maintenance command of the device, executes the normalized maintenance command of the device, maintains the device, and uploads the maintenance The result data is transmitted to the user, and a report is generated after the maintenance plan is executed, and the user can open the report to view the corresponding maintenance results.

The maintenance plan can be used to achieve such goals: it can provide the means for the technical support personnel of the equipment manufacturer to inspect the equipment, and can automatically check the equipment remotely or locally. Users on the other side can find problems and issue early warnings by running the software.
