detailed description

In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily.

The inventor of the present application proposes that the planning and configuration of various services can be completed in advance by using the virtual interface to form a network planning diagram and corresponding configuration files. After the actual networking is confirmed, the configuration of the virtual interface is mapped to the actual physical interface. Afterwards, if the physical interface of the device needs to be replaced due to various reasons, it is not necessary to modify the interface configuration in the device configuration file, but only to change the physical interface mapped to the virtual interface, which can reduce the workload of network maintenance personnel and reduce network The complexity of maintenance improves the flexibility of router devices in using physical interfaces without increasing the complexity of system business processes.

Based on the above ideas, this embodiment provides a router configuration method, as shown in Figure 1, including the following operations S100 and S200:

S100. After the router device system is started, create one or more virtual interfaces according to the networking plan, and perform service configuration on each created virtual interface;

S200. After determining the physical interfaces actually used by each service in actual networking, map the virtual interfaces to corresponding physical interfaces according to the service configuration on each virtual interface.

Optionally, when each virtual interface is mapped to a corresponding physical interface, each virtual interface is mapped to a corresponding physical interface, that is, for each virtual interface, it is only mapped to one physical interface interface.

Optionally, the process of mapping the virtual interfaces to the corresponding physical interfaces can be realized through the mapping table, that is, after the virtual interface is created, the system automatically adds each created virtual interface to the mapping table, and the initial state virtual Interfaces are not mapped to any physical interfaces, and then various required service configurations are performed on these virtual interfaces in the system.

After the actual physical interface of each router device is determined in the actual networking and the connection of the corresponding physical interface is completed, the mapping from the virtual interface to the physical interface is configured in the router device system. At this time, the system automatically configures the virtual interface according to the mapping configuration. The service configuration on the interface is enabled on the corresponding physical interface, just add the mapped physical interface to the virtual interface in the mapping table. During the actual operation of the router device, various services and forwarding still use the physical interface normally, that is, the configuration mapping adopted in the embodiment of the present invention does not affect the original service processes of the device, and only completes the simple configuration mapping. In practical applications, the mapping configuration process of this optional solution is shown in Figure 2.

In an optional embodiment, when the service configuration of a physical interface needs to be deleted in the networking, the virtual interface mapped to the physical interface is searched in the mapping table, and the service configuration on the found virtual interface is deleted. Automatically delete the service configuration corresponding to the physical interface. In practical applications, this process is shown in Figure 3.

In an optional embodiment, when the service configuration of one or more physical interfaces needs to be changed, the virtual interface corresponding to the physical interface to be changed is searched in the mapping table, and the corresponding service configuration is performed on the found virtual interface In the modification, the router device system searches the mapping table after receiving the service configuration update of the virtual interface, and automatically updates the service configuration of the physical interface mapped to the virtual interface in the mapping table. In practical applications, this process is shown in Figure 4.

In an optional embodiment, when one or more physical interfaces need to be replaced in the actual networking, after the physical connection is completed, the mapping configuration from the original virtual interface to the replaced physical interface is deleted on the system. At this time, the system will automatically delete all service configurations on the physical interface to be replaced, and search the virtual interface corresponding to the physical interface to be replaced in the mapping table, delete the physical interface corresponding to the found virtual interface, and then reconfigure it in the system Mapping from a virtual interface to a new physical interface, the system automatically enables the service configuration on the virtual interface on the new physical interface according to the mapping configuration, and maps the virtual interface to the new physical interface in the mapping table. In practical applications, this process is shown in Figure 5.

The implementation process of the embodiment of the present invention will be described below in combination with actual application scenarios. Assume that when the virtual interface is used in the router device to perform configuration mapping, it includes a virtual interface, a physical interface, and a mapping table.

Among them, virtual interface: the virtual interface created by the device, which is pre-configured with various services.

Physical interface: The interface on the device board used for physical connection of the actual networking.

Mapping table: the mapping table from virtual interface to physical interface.

The complete process of router configuration is as follows:

After the initial startup of the router device system, there is no virtual interface in the system, and there can be 0 or N physical interfaces, and the mapping table is empty. Assume that the device needs to use three physical interfaces INT1, INT2, and INT3 in the network planning:

The system first creates three virtual interfaces, namely A, B, and C, and configures the required services for these three virtual interfaces according to the network plan, including interface IP addresses, network routing protocols, and various business applications (at this time, the system Whether there is a physical interface in the virtual interface does not affect the service configuration of the virtual interface);

Place the device in the actual networking environment, and connect the physical links according to the networking plan;

According to the network planning, the system configures the configuration mapping from virtual interface to physical interface. For example, the configuration of virtual interface A is mapped to physical interface INT1, the configuration of virtual interface B is mapped to physical interface INT2, and the configuration of virtual interface C is mapped to physical interface INT3. And write the configuration mapping into the mapping table. At this time, the system enables the configuration of the corresponding virtual interfaces on the physical interfaces INT1, INT2, and INT3. During the actual operation of the device, various services and forwarding still use the physical interfaces normally, that is, It does not affect the original business processes of the device, and this configuration is only a simple configuration mapping;

For some reasons, if the physical interface INT3 needs to be replaced with INT4, the original mapping configuration from virtual interface C to physical interface INT3 needs to be deleted on the system, and the configuration of virtual interface C should be mapped to physical interface INT4 instead. At this time, the system updates the mapping physical interface of the virtual interface C in the mapping table to INT4, deletes the various service configurations of the INT3 interface at the same time, and then configures all services of the virtual interface C on the INT4 interface;

For some reason, when a service configuration needs to be added to the physical interface INT2, the service configuration is completed on the corresponding virtual interface B, and the system automatically enables the service on the physical interface associated with the virtual interface B.

Optionally, the mapping unit respectively mapping the virtual interfaces to corresponding physical interfaces according to the service configuration on each virtual interface includes:

After the virtual interface creation unit creates one or more virtual interfaces according to the networking plan, each created virtual interface is added to the mapping table;

After determining the actual physical interface used by each service in the actual networking, map the virtual interfaces in the mapping table to the corresponding physical interfaces according to the network planning and the service configuration on each virtual interface, and the router device according to the mapping table In the mapping relationship between virtual interface and physical interface, the services configured on the corresponding virtual interface are enabled on the physical interface.

Optionally, the mapping unit maps each virtual interface in the mapping table to a corresponding physical interface according to network planning and service configuration on each virtual interface.

In an optional embodiment, the above-mentioned device may also include a service processing unit. When the service configuration of the physical interface needs to be deleted in the actual networking, the unit searches the mapping table for the virtual interface mapped to the physical interface, and deletes the found service configuration on the virtual interface.
