Based on the same Fang Ming concept, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a data configuration method, as shown in Figure 3, a flow chart of a data configuration method in the embodiment of the present invention, the method includes:

S301, acquiring network topology parameters of the network to be established;

Firstly, the network management server first obtains the network topology parameters of the network to be formed, and the network topology parameters indicate the network devices in the network to be formed and the connection relationship between each network device. For example, the network to be established includes a first network device and a second network device connected to the first network device, and the network topology parameters may include the device identifier of the first network device and the device identifier of the second network device, the first network The connection relationship between the device and the second network device, etc. The device identifier here may include the device type information of the network device, for example, the device identifier of the first network device is RNC101, and the device identifier of the second network device is SGSN102, where "RNC" in the device identifier indicates that the device type of the network device is a radio network controller (Radio Network Controller, RNC), and "101" identifies the serial number of the network device; similarly, "SGSN" indicates that the device type of the network device is Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), "102" identifies the number of the network device. It should be noted that the above descriptions are examples for convenience of description, and the device identifier of the network device may also have other representation methods, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Here, the connection relationship between network devices may at least include signaling link information that needs to be configured between network devices, and one of user plane transmission networks between network devices.

S302. Determine basic configuration data of the first network device and the second network device according to the acquired network topology parameters;

The network management server can determine the first network device and the second network device connected to the first network device in the network to be established through the network topology parameters, so as to determine the basic configuration data of the first network device and the second network device .

For example, the network management server can obtain the device information of the first network device and the device information of the second network device according to the identifier of the first network device and the identifier of the second network device in the network topology parameters, where the device information may include: Communication port information and information such as the basic communication protocol for interconnection between network devices of this device type and network devices of other device types. It should be noted that these device information can be pre-stored in the network management server or imported through templates. In this way, the device information of each network device is imported into the network management server in advance, and the present invention is not limited thereto. After the network management server determines the communication ports of each network device, it can determine the address information of these communication ports, so that the basic configuration data of each network device includes the address information of the communication ports of each network device.

For example, the first network device is RNC101 with 2 communication ports, the second network device is SGSN201 with 8 communication ports, RNC101 and SGSN201 are interconnected based on Internet Protocol (IP), and the network management server determines the first The two communication ports of the network device are assigned IP addresses respectively, and each IP address is assigned a port number, wherein the port number is unique in the same IP address, so that the network management server determines the basic configuration data of the first network device RNC101 , wherein the basic configuration data of the RNC101 includes the IP addresses and port numbers of the two ports of the RNC101. Similarly, the network management server determines the basic configuration data of the second network device SGSN201, including the IP addresses and port numbers of the eight communication ports of the second network device.

It should be noted that the basic communication protocols for the interconnection of network devices are different, and the address information of the communication ports is also different. For example, when the first network device and the second network device are interconnected based on the Media Access Control (MAC) protocol , the address information of the communication port may be the MAC address of the communication port. The embodiments of the present invention are not listed one by one.

If the network topology parameters include the connection relationship between network devices, for example, when the signaling link information between network devices needs to be configured, the network management server will The determined signaling link information in the basic configuration data of the network device.

S303. Generate configuration data of the first network device according to the basic configuration data of the first network device and the basic configuration data of the second network device.

The basis of communication between two network devices with a connection relationship in the network to be established is that the first network device obtains the address information of the communication port of the second network device, so after generating the basic configuration data, it is necessary to combine the information of the second network device Only the basic configuration data can get the final configuration data of the first network device, that is to say, when sending the basic configuration data to the first network device, it is also necessary to add the address information of the communication port of the second network device to the first network The basic configuration data of the device, so that the final configuration data of the first network device can be generated.

Specifically, the final configuration data of the first network device needs to include IP address information or MAC address information of the communication port of the second network device.

After the configuration data of the first network device is generated, S204 is executed.

S304. Generate a configuration instruction for controlling the first network device to perform data configuration according to the configuration data of the first network device;

When the configuration data of the first network device is obtained, a configuration command containing the configuration data of the first network device is generated for the first network device.

Since the network to be established contains multiple network devices, and each network device may be different, the configuration instructions that can be recognized by different network devices are also different. In the embodiment of the present invention, the generated configuration instructions can be used by the network Device identification, so the network management server needs to determine the device ID corresponding to each network device that receives configuration instructions in the network to be established, and determine the device ID corresponding to each network device according to the corresponding relationship between the stored device ID and command format. command format. The network management server generates configuration instructions for controlling the first network device to perform data configuration according to the configuration data of the first network device and in a command format that the first network device can recognize.

S305. Send the configuration instruction to the first network device.

After the configuration command is sent to the network device, the network device can recognize the configuration command and perform data configuration according to the configuration data in the configuration command received respectively.

The following is a specific application scenario to illustrate:

As shown in FIG. 4 , in FIG. 4 is a networking configuration process between the RNC and the SGSN in a telecommunication network.

What needs to be explained here is that due to the basic conditions in the network topology structure, the user still needs to define the network according to the required components, such as the device identification of the network devices included in the network, and the connection relationship between network devices. The network topology parameters are as follows:

1. One RNC and one SGSN;

2. Two STCP signaling links from RNC to SGSN;

3. The transmission network 1 connecting the RNC to the SGSN;

4. Signaling point 10 of RNC;

5. Signaling point 20 of SGSN;

After determining the network topology parameters of the networking, since the RNC side and the SGSN side communicate based on the IP protocol, the network management server will allocate the A port and B port of the STCP signaling link based on the IP protocol on the RNC side IP address 10.0.0.1, then assign port number 1023 to port A, and port number 1024 to port B. At this time, the address information of port A is: 10.0.0.1:1023, and the address information of port B is: 10.0.0.1:1024 . Then assign an IP address for each communication port connected to the transmission network 1 on the RNC side, for example, assign an IP address to each of the three communication ports C, D, and E connected to the transmission network 1 on the RNC side in Figure 1, namely: The IP address assigned to port C is 10.0.1.1:1033, the IP address assigned to port D is 10.0.1.2:1034, and the IP address assigned to port E is 10.0.1.3:1035, where 1033, 1034, and 1035 are respectively Port numbers of ports C, D, and E. The above parameters are basic configuration data on the RNC side.

At the same time, the network management server assigns an IP address 10.1.0.1 and an IP address 10.1.0.2 to the a port of the corresponding signaling link on the peer SGSN side of the RNC side, and assigns an IP address 10.1.0.2 to the b port, and assigns a port number 1024 to the b port. Assign a port number 1024, where the IP addresses of ports a and b are different, so the same port number can be used. At the same time, the communication ports c and d on the SGSN side and the transmission network 1 are assigned IP addresses respectively. The IP address corresponding to port c is 10.1.1.1:1050, and the IP address corresponding to port d is 10.1.1.2:1051. The above parameters are SGSN basic configuration data.

Based on the need for communication between the RNC side and the SGSN side, and the need to combine its own basic configuration data and the basic configuration data on the SGSN side when generating the configuration data on the RNC side, that is: the configuration data on the RNC side includes two signaling links , the signaling link corresponds to the IP address of port A 10.0.0.1:1023, the IP address of B 10.0.0.1:1024, and the IP addresses of the three communication ports communicating with the transmission network 1, namely: the address of port C is 10.0 .1.1:1033, the address of port D is 10.0.1.2:1034, the address of port E is 10.0.1.3:1035, and the IP address of port a on the SGSN side is 10.1.0.1:1024 and the IP address of port b is 10.1.0.2:1024 , the address of port c is 10.1.1.1:1050, and the address of port d is 10.0.1.1.2:1051.

In the same principle, when generating the configuration data on the SGSN side, it needs to combine its own basic configuration data and the basic configuration data on the RNC side, that is, the configuration data on the SGSN side includes two signaling links, and the signaling links correspond to port a IP address 10.1.0.1:1024 and b port IP address 10.1.0.2:1024, IP addresses and port numbers of two communication ports communicating with transmission network 1, namely: c port address is 10.1.1.1:1050, d port The address is 10.0.1.1.2:1051, and the IP address of port A on the RNC side is 10.0.0.1:1023, the address of port B is 10.0.0.1:1024, the address of port C is 10.0.1.1:1033, and the address of port D is 10.0. 1.2:1034, E port address is 10.0.1.3:1035.

After generating the above-mentioned configuration data, generate a configuration command that can be recognized by the RNC side according to the configuration data on the RNC side, and send the configuration command to the RNC side, and generate a configuration command that can be recognized by the SGSN side according to the configuration data on the SGSN side, and Send the configuration command to the SGSN side.

After the RNC side receives the configuration command, the RNC side itself will perform the following configuration steps:

1. Configure signaling point 10;

2. Configure signaling point 20;

3. Configure the link set, that is, the link set from signaling point 10 to signaling point 20;

4. Configure the IP address of port A as: 10.0.0.1:1023;

5. Configure the signaling link, from the port corresponding to the address of 10.0.0.1:1023 to the port corresponding to the address of 10.1.0.1:1024;

4. Configure the IP address of port B as: 10.0.0.1:1024;

6. Configure the signaling link, from the port corresponding to the address of 10.0.0.1:1024 to the port corresponding to the address of 10.1.0.2:1024;

7. Configure the user plane transmission adjacency point, namely: transmission network 1;

8. Configure the network equipment that the transmission adjacency point can reach the signaling point 20;

9. Configure the IP address of port C as 10.0.1.1:1033;

10. Configure the IP address 10.0.1.1:1033 to reach the transmission network 1;

11. Configure the IP address of port D as 10.0.1.2:1034;

12. Configure the IP address 10.0.1.2:1034 to reach the transmission network 1;

13. Configure the IP address of port E as 10.0.1.3:1035;

14. Configure the IP address 10.0.1.3:1035 to reach the transmission network 1.

After the SGSN side receives the configuration command, the SGSN side itself will perform the following configuration steps:

1. Configure the source signaling point 20;

2. Configure destination signaling point 10;

3. Configure link set 1: from signaling point 20 to signaling point 10;

4. Configure the IP address of port a as 10.1.0.1:1024;

5. Configure the signaling link: from the port corresponding to the address of 10.1.0.1:1024 to the port corresponding to the address of 10.0.0.1:1023;

6. Configure the IP address of port b as 10.1.0.2:1024;

7. Configure the signaling link: from the port corresponding to the address of 10.1.0.2:1024 to the port corresponding to the address of 10.0.0.1:1024;
