Abstract

The invention discloses a configuration validation method, a configuration system and a configuration gateway. The received configuration command is transformed into the configuration data which does not contain the type information of the configuration parameter and the length information of the configuration parameter and the configuration data is sent to a service module, and thus the type information of the configuration parameter and the length information of the configuration parameter is not included in the configuration data and the dereferencing information of the configuration parameter or the dereferencing information and the parameter marker of the configuration parameter is only reserved, thus greatly reducing the needed data quantity. Only a small data quantity can implement the configuration function and the utilization ratio of the data space is very high.

Description

Configuration effective method, configuration system and gateway configuration

technical field

The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a configuration validation method, a configuration system and a configuration gateway. the

Background technique

At present, due to different use scenarios and specific services, communication devices often need to support multiple different configuration tools at the same time. In order to prevent the business modules in the device from implementing a set of configuration functions for each configuration tool, the method of converting the configuration requests of different configuration tools into a unified internal data format is often adopted. The business module only needs to process the unified internal data format instead of Need to care about the differences of different configuration tools. the

The structure of the existing configuration system is shown in Figure 1, including a configuration gateway (CFG) and service modules. Man-machine interface language (MML) service module, binary interface (BIN) service module, command line interface (CLI) service module, simple network management protocol (SNMP) service module, extensible markup language (XML) service module, etc. The configuration tool edits the configuration command and sends the received configuration command to the configuration gateway. The configuration gateway converts the different configuration commands received from these different configuration service modules into configuration data in a unified internal data format. It is delivered to the configured business module, and the business module performs configuration operations according to the content in the configuration data to realize the configuration of the business module. the

In the prior art, the TLV (Type Length Value, type, length, value) coding format is generally used as a unified internal data format to describe configuration parameters. In the TLV encoding format, each configuration parameter item needs to be described with type, length and value information. In addition, it is generally necessary to add a parameter flag (i) to each parameter item to distinguish each parameter and form an i-TLV format. Configuration parameters described in the i-TLV format generally have the format shown in FIG. 2 . the

In Figure 2, a configuration data should include the number of parameter lists of the parameters to be configured and the corresponding parameter lists, and each parameter list includes the length of the parameter list, the number of parameters in the parameter list and specific parameters ; Each parameter also includes the parameter ID, parameter type, parameter value length and parameter value of the parameter. For example, to configure a port number parameter, the parameter value is 15, then use the i-TLV format to describe the configuration parameter, it is necessary to describe that the parameter type is a number, the maximum length of the parameter is 8 bits, and the parameter value is 15. If a certain configuration parameter value has only 2 bytes, it needs more than 20 bytes to describe the configuration data in i-TLV format, and the data space utilization rate is only about 10%. the

It can be seen that, in the prior art, the data volume of the configuration data converted by the configuration gateway is large, and the utilization rate of the data space is very low. the

Detailed ways

In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. the

The embodiment of the present invention mainly converts the received configuration command into configuration data without configuration parameter type information and configuration parameter length information, and sends it to the service module. In this way, the configuration parameter type information and configuration parameter length information are not included in the configuration data, and only the configuration parameter value information or configuration parameter value information and parameter flags are retained, which can greatly reduce the amount of data required. The configuration function can be realized with a large amount of data, and the utilization rate of the data space is very high. the

Fig. 3 is the flowchart of the configuration method of the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 3, this process specifically includes the following steps:

In step 301, the received configuration command is converted into configuration data that does not contain configuration parameter type information and configuration parameter length information. the

Step 302, sending the configuration data to the service module. the

In step 301, the configuration data that does not contain configuration parameter type information and configuration parameter length information is relative to the existing configuration data that includes configuration parameter type information and configuration parameter length information in i-TLV format. The type information and length information of configuration parameters in . the

Specifically, the specific data structure of the converted configuration data is shown in Figure 4,

The configuration data includes: operation code, operation object class ID, operation object instance ID, operation object data length and operation object data. the

The operation codes include: create, delete and modify three basic operations, and any operation can be formed by combining these three basic operations. the

Among them, create means to create a single configuration object; delete means to delete a single operation object; modify means to modify one attribute or multiple attributes of a single operation object. the

The operation object class ID is a preset globally unique ID assigned to each operation object class, and is used to identify the operation object class. the

The operation object instance ID is a preset globally unique ID assigned to each operation object instance, and is used to identify the operation object. An operation object instance is a subdivision of an operation object class, representing a specific operation object. the

The operation object data length indicates the length of the content of the next item in the data structure, which is the data length of the operation object data item. the

The operand data differs depending on the opcode. the

If the operation code is to create, the operation object data includes the value information of the configuration parameters of the operation object in the received configuration command; if there is no value information of the configuration parameters of the operation object in the configuration command, the operation object data includes the configuration Default values for the object's configuration parameters. the

If the operation code is delete, the operation object data includes the value information of the configuration parameter of the operation object before deletion. the

If the operation code is modification, the operation object data includes the value information of the configuration parameters of the operation object before and after modification; if multiple configuration objects are modified at the same time, the operation object data also needs to include the configuration parameters of each operation object parameter flags. the

The conversion of specific configuration commands is converted according to a predefined information model. This predefined information model can be defined by various programming languages. The information model does not contain configuration parameter type information and configuration parameter length information, including configuration parameters. The value information of the configuration parameter or the value information of the configuration parameter and the parameter flag of the configuration parameter. the

Taking the information model defined by XML as an example, the defined information model can be:

<Class Port>

<element PortID/>

<element IpAddress/>

<Class/>

Generate the data structure corresponding to this operation object according to the above information model, which can be as follows:

struct PortData

{

int PortID;

string IpAddress;

};

According to the above data structure, the configuration data can be formed only by filling in the parameter values of the corresponding configuration parameters, and the type and length information of the configuration parameters are no longer needed. the

Of course, it is also possible to define information models using languages such as IDL or C. After the configuration data is sent to the business module, the business module can perform the configuration operation according to the configuration data. the

If the configuration data part of the internal data structure of the business module can be defined directly using the above data structure, or the data structure can be understood and directly processed. Then the business module does not need to access the data in the data structure through a specific function interface like the existing configuration data in the i-TLV format, but directly processes the configuration data, thereby avoiding low efficiency of data access, and at the same time The module depends on the problem of the access interface of the data structure. the

Wherein, the configuration gateway 501 includes: a configuration command receiving module 503 , a conversion module 504 and a configuration data sending module 505 . the

The conversion module 504 is configured to receive the configuration command sent by the configuration command receiving module 504, and convert the configuration command into configuration data that does not contain configuration parameter type information and configuration parameter length information. the

The configuration data sending module 505 is used to receive the configuration data sent by the conversion module 504 that does not contain configuration parameter type information and configuration parameter length information, and send it to the service module 502 . the

Wherein, the conversion module converts the received configuration command into configuration data that does not contain configuration parameter type information and configuration parameter length information but contains configuration parameter value information according to a predefined information model. the

Alternatively, the conversion module converts the received configuration command into configuration data that does not contain configuration parameter type information and configuration parameter length information, but contains configuration parameter value information and configuration parameter parameter flags according to a predefined information model. the

It can be seen from the above embodiments that the embodiment of the present invention converts the received configuration command into configuration data that does not contain configuration parameter type information and configuration parameter length information, and sends it to the service module. In this way, the configuration parameter type information and configuration parameter length information are not included in the configuration data, and only the configuration parameter value information or configuration parameter value information and parameter flags are retained, which can greatly reduce the amount of data required. The configuration function can be realized with a large amount of data, and the utilization rate of the data space is very high. the
