Description

Network equipment remote inventory method, system and inventory platform

technical field

The invention relates to the field of computer technology, and particularly designs a remote inventory method for network equipment, a remote inventory system for network equipment, an inventory platform, and a switch management server.

Background technique

With the continuous expansion of the scale of the Internet industry, the construction of IDC equipment rooms is rapid, and the number of network devices continues to increase, making network device management more and more challenging. The current inventory method relies too much on manual operations and has a low degree of automation, so it lacks in inventory efficiency and accuracy.

The existing company's inventory of online network equipment is only based on the verification of quantity and accounts, and the network equipment does not support the hot-swappable function. Can check whether the quantity matches on-site according to the ledger records. That is, it cannot guarantee that the information records of network parts are correct, and it cannot guarantee that the corresponding relationship of network parts is accurate. Therefore, the existing technology has great hidden dangers in the accuracy of inventory information, which violates the ultimate goal of asset management account matching.

Currently commonly used inventory methods include physical inventory method, barcode inventory method and electronic label method. The physical inventory method manually verifies the number of online network devices by printing paper documents, and compares them with the ledger records to obtain the inventory results. This method is suitable for small IDC computer rooms. For example, if the IDC has a large scale and a large number of online network devices, this method requires a high number of inventory personnel, takes a long time to take inventory, and cannot record the changes in the use status of the equipment in the inventory process in real time. Therefore, the accuracy of the data cannot be guaranteed. The barcode inventory method uses a barcode recognition tool to scan the online network equipment with a barcode, and matches the corresponding data in the system according to the uniqueness of the equipment label to obtain the inventory result of the equipment. Although this method does not need to print paper documents, the inventory efficiency and accuracy have been improved, but it requires each device to be pasted with an identifiable barcode label, and some network components such as boards and optical modules need to be inserted into the switch when in use. And it does not have the function of online plugging and unplugging, and the scanning tool cannot scan the physical label, thus limiting the inventory coverage of this method. Therefore, this method is only suitable for companies with a relatively low inventory granularity, and is not suitable for companies whose inventory granularity is as accurate as optical modules and board-level network components. Moreover, most of these barcodes are paper labels, which will age, fall off, and be difficult to identify as the service life increases, which will have a greater impact on the inventory progress. Compared with the on-site inventory method, although the barcode inventory method optimizes the inventory method and inventory efficiency, it still relies on manual collection of information. It is suitable for use in computer rooms where the IDC scale is small and the manager does not require high inventory granularity. It is not suitable for computer rooms with a large number of online devices and high requirements for inventory granularity. Electronic label management method, that is, radio frequency identification technology. First of all, a transponder (electronic label) should be attached to all online network devices. The transponder will actively send a fixed-frequency radio frequency signal, receive and decode the signal through a reader (handheld terminal), and then feed back the information to the central system. After the collection is completed, compare and output the inventory results according to the system records. This method overcomes the manual dependence in the inventory process, improves the efficiency of the inventory, and ensures the accuracy of the inventory data. However, the price of the transponder is too high, and the quantity requirement is relatively large. A large amount of capital needs to be invested in the early stage, which greatly increases the inventory cost, and the cost performance is not outstanding only as an inventory. Moreover, the prerequisite for applying this management method is that the equipment to be inventoried must be pasted with electronic labels, and the precision of network equipment is relatively high, and network components cannot all meet the requirements for pasting electronic labels. For example, sticking electronic labels on boards and optical modules may affect the normal use of equipment. Therefore, the electronic label management method is limited in applicability. Companies with high requirements for online inventory and equipment management accuracy reaching the level of part serial numbers do not Be applicable.

These and other aspects of embodiments of the invention will become apparent with reference to the following description and drawings. In these descriptions and drawings, some specific implementations of the embodiments of the present invention are specifically disclosed to represent some ways of implementing the principles of the embodiments of the present invention, but it should be understood that the scope of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited by this limit. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present invention include all changes, modifications and equivalents coming within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

The method for remote inventory of network equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention will be firstly described below with reference to FIGS. 1-2 .

Embodiments of the present invention are based on the fact that most of the switches in the computer room currently support device information capture commands (commands to obtain related information), so that the log capture system (switch management server) can log in to the switch to run the device information capture commands to capture each Based on switch log information. Specifically, referring to FIG. 1, the network device remote inventory method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

Step S101, the inventory platform sends an inventory request to the network group work platform. Wherein, the inventory request includes one or more of equipment room information, switch type information, switch serial number and switch management IP information. The inventory of the corresponding switch can be performed according to any one of the above inventory requests. For example, when it is necessary to take inventory of all the switches in a certain computer room, the above-mentioned inventory information can be defined as the above-mentioned computer room information, so that the switches in the above-mentioned computer room can be inventoried. Of course, the inventory information can also be any combination of computer room information, switch type information, switch serial number and switch management IP information. The inventory information is defined as the information of the above-mentioned computer room and the above-mentioned type information, so that the switches in the above-mentioned computer room with the above-mentioned switch type information can be inventoried. In addition, if you need to take inventory of a separate switch, you can fill in the inventory request as the management IP information of the switch.

Step S102, the network group work platform obtains the software version information corresponding to each switch according to the inventory request. In an example of the present invention, the network group work platform can obtain the software version information corresponding to each switch through the simple network management protocol SNMP, for example. In layman's terms, after receiving the inventory request, the network group work platform (H platform) will identify the corresponding switch through the SNMP protocol to obtain device version information (software version information).

Step S103, the network group working platform generates a device information capture command corresponding to each switch according to the software version information and sends it to the switch management server. That is, the network group work platform logs in to the switch management server (CMD-AGENT) after generating the device information capture command, and sends an inventory request to it, so that the switch management server can obtain the log information of the switch.

Specifically, after acquiring the software version information of each of the corresponding multiple switches, the network group working platform can generate a device information capture command corresponding to the switch according to the software version information.

It should be noted that different models of switches and different software versions used by the switches have different device information capture commands. For example, the software version used by the Huawei Quidway S5400 switch is 5.30 and the software version used by the Huawei Quidway S9312 switch is 5.50, the command to capture device information is different between the two. Therefore, after the software version information of each switch needs to be determined, the corresponding device information capture command can be determined according to the software version information.

Step S104, the switch management server obtains the log information of the corresponding switch according to the inventory request, for example, the switch management server can access the switch and download the log information of the switch through the authentication, authorization and statistics AAA system. Certainly, the switch management server may also use other methods to access the switch, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Specifically, the log information of the switch includes information about the switch and information about parts inside the switch. More specifically, the switch information includes, for example, the switch type and the switch serial number, and the internal part information of the switch includes, for example, the part type and the part serial number SN. Certainly, the part information inside the switch is not limited thereto, such as the quantity of parts inside the switch.

In one example of the present invention, the switch management server (CMD-AGENT) commands the switch to output files and download initial log information (LOG). After the download is complete, the switch management server (CMD-AGENT) will conduct a preliminary analysis of the recovered log information, filter the switch information that is not related to the inventory and retain the required fields, such as the switch type, the switch serial number (SN), the type of parts in the switch, etc. , and send the filtered log information to the network group work platform (H platform).

Step S105, the inventory platform obtains the log information, and compares the log information with pre-stored switch information and component information to generate an inventory result. As a specific example, after receiving the log information, the network group work platform (H platform) will notify the inventory platform and prompt the inventory platform to download the log information. At this time, the inventory platform can log in to the network group work platform (H platform) to download the log information, and further analyze the obtained log information to generate the final inventory result.

Specifically, compare the log information with the pre-stored switch information and part information to generate an inventory result, see Figure 2, including the following steps:

Step S51, acquiring the part information corresponding to each switch from the log information. For example, a switch includes multiple boards, power supplies and other parts, therefore, each part has its own part type and the same part has different part serial numbers.

Step S52 , according to the part type in the part information, it is judged whether the part type in each switch corresponds to the pre-stored part type in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS). For example, for a certain switch, its log information may include multiple types of parts, and similarly, there are also multiple types of parts pre-stored in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS), and the two are compared. Determine whether the part types of the two correspond.

Step S53, if corresponding (the part type in the log information corresponds to the prestored part type in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS)), then further judge whether the part serial number in each switchboard is consistent with the system according to the part serial number in the part information Corresponds to the serial number of the part stored in the That is to say, after judging that the part type in the log information corresponds to the pre-stored part type in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS), the serial number of the part will be compared. Since each part has a unique serial number, it is passed The method of comparing the serial number can determine whether the part recorded in the log information is the same part as the part pre-stored in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS).

Step S54, if the serial numbers correspond, it is judged that the inventory is correct. That is, the parts contained in the switch recorded in the log information are the same as the parts of the switch pre-stored in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS).

Step S55, if the serial number does not correspond, then further judge whether the inventory is surplus or deficit.

Wherein, the disk loss refers to the switch type recorded by the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS), and there is no corresponding information in the log file.

Overage refers to the type captured in the log information, and there is no information corresponding to it in the system.

The correct one is the type, the serial number, part type, etc. are all consistent with the records in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS).

If it is judged that the switch/part type and switch/part name are consistent with the system records and the part serial number is different from the system records, then continue to make the following judgments and count the number of parts corresponding to each switch according to the log information.

Step S56, judging whether the number of parts of each switch is equal to the number pre-stored in the system.

Step S57, if they are equal, it is judged that the parts of the switch are correct.

Step S58, if the number of parts of the switch is greater than the number of parts of the switch pre-stored in the system, it is judged that the parts of the switch are overstocked. That is, the actual number of parts of the switch exceeds the number of parts of the switch pre-stored in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS).

Step S59, if the quantity of parts of the switch is less than the quantity pre-stored in the system, it is judged that the parts of the switch are in deficit. That is, the actual number of parts of the switch is less than the number of parts of the switch pre-stored in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS).

In this embodiment, the inventory deficit is that the number of parts recorded in the log information is less than the number of parts recorded in the system. Overage is the number of parts recorded in the log information is greater than the number of parts recorded in the system. Correct is that the number of parts recorded in the log is equal to the number of parts recorded in the system.

The method of the embodiment of the present invention can effectively solve the difficulty of manual inventory of online equipment caused by the continuous expansion of the scale of the server room, avoid the waste of human resources, and reduce the number of manual operations to ensure accurate inventory information. The method of the embodiment of the present invention can automatically carry out remote inventory of network equipment, which effectively improves the efficiency of online equipment inventory, and the automatic inventory function is based on the characteristics of the network equipment itself, which does not require early capital investment and saves budget expenditures. The computer room provides a good management method, real-time grasp of online equipment information, and provides a favorable guarantee for asset security. And it not only accurately counts the accuracy of the quantity, but also checks whether the parts in the network equipment are corresponding.

Referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the embodiment of the present invention also proposes a network device remote inventory system 300, comprising an inventory platform 310, a network group work platform 320 connected to the inventory platform 310, and a switch connected to the network group work platform 320 A management server 330 and a plurality of switches 340 connected to the switch management server 330 . in:

The inventory platform 310 is used to send an inventory request to the network group work platform 320, obtain log information, and compare the log information with pre-stored switch information and component information to generate an inventory result.

The network group work platform 320 is used to obtain software version information corresponding to each switch (multiple switches 340 ) according to the inventory request, and generate a device information capture command corresponding to each switch according to the software version information and send it to the switch management server 330 .

The switch management server 330 is configured to obtain the log information of the corresponding switch according to the inventory request, wherein the log information includes the information of the switch and the information of parts inside the switch.

Each functional module of the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below.

In a specific example of the present invention, the inventory request sent by the inventory platform 310 to the network group work platform 320 may include one or more of equipment room information, switch type information, switch serial number, and switch management IP information. The inventory of the corresponding switch can be performed according to any one of the above inventory requests. For example, when it is necessary to take inventory of all the switches in a certain computer room, the above-mentioned inventory information can be defined as the above-mentioned computer room information, so that the switches in the above-mentioned computer room can be inventoried. Of course, the inventory information can also be any combination of computer room information, switch type information, switch serial number and switch management IP information. The inventory information is defined as the information of the above-mentioned computer room and the above-mentioned type information, so that the switches in the above-mentioned computer room with the above-mentioned switch type information can be inventoried. In addition, if you need to take inventory of a separate switch, you can fill in the inventory request as the management IP information of the switch.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the inventory platform 310 is further configured to generate an inventory result by comparing the log information with pre-stored switch information and component information after obtaining the log information. As a specific example, the network group work platform 320 (H platform) will notify the inventory platform after receiving the log information, and prompt the inventory platform 310 to download the log information, and now the inventory platform 310 can log in to the network group work platform 320 (H platform) to download the log information, and further analyze the obtained log information to generate the final inventory result.

Specifically, the inventory platform 310 compares the log information with the pre-stored switch information and part information to generate an inventory result, including:

1. Obtain the part information corresponding to each switch from the log information. For example, a switch includes multiple boards, power supplies and other parts, therefore, each part has its own part type and the same part has different part serial numbers.

2. According to the part type in the part information, it is judged whether the part type in each switch corresponds to the pre-stored part type in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS). For example, for a certain switch, its log information may include multiple types of parts, and similarly, there are also multiple types of parts pre-stored in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS), and the two are compared. Determine whether the part types of the two correspond.

3. If it corresponds (the part type in the log information corresponds to the pre-stored part type in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS), then further judge whether the part serial number in each switch is the same as that in the system according to the part serial number in the part information. Corresponds to the pre-stored part serial number. That is to say, after judging that the part type in the log information corresponds to the pre-stored part type in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS), the serial number of the part will be compared. Since each part has a unique serial number, it is passed The method of comparing the serial number can determine whether the part recorded in the log information is the same part as the part pre-stored in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS).

4. If the serial numbers correspond, it is judged that the inventory is correct. That is, the parts contained in the switch recorded in the log information are the same as the parts of the switch pre-stored in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS).

5. If the serial number does not correspond, then further judge the profit or loss of the stock.

Wherein, the disk loss refers to the switch type recorded by the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS), and there is no corresponding information in the log file.

Overage refers to the type captured in the log information, and there is no information corresponding to it in the system.

The correct one is the type, the serial number, part type, etc. are all consistent with the records in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS).

Inventory platform 310 judges that its switch/part type and switch/part name are consistent with the system record but the part serial number is different from the record in the system. The inventory platform 310 will continue to make the following judgments:

6. Count the number of parts corresponding to each switch according to the log information.

7. Determine whether the number of parts of each switch is equal to the number pre-stored in the system.

8. If they are equal, it is judged that the parts of the switch are correct.

9. If the number of parts of the switch is greater than the number of parts of the switch pre-stored in the system, it is judged that the parts of the switch are overstocked. That is, the actual number of parts of the switch exceeds the number of parts of the switch pre-stored in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS).

10. If the quantity of parts of the switch is less than the quantity pre-stored in the system, it is judged that the parts of the switch are in deficit. That is, the actual number of parts of the switch is less than the number of parts of the switch pre-stored in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS).

In this embodiment, the inventory deficit is that the number of parts recorded in the log information is less than the number of parts recorded in the system. Overage is the number of parts recorded in the log information is greater than the number of parts recorded in the system. Correct is that the number of parts recorded in the log is equal to the number of parts recorded in the system.

In an example of the present invention, in an example of the present invention, the network group work platform can obtain the software version information corresponding to each switch, for example, through the Simple Network Management Protocol SNMP. In layman's terms, after receiving the inventory request, the network group work platform (H platform) will identify the corresponding switch through the SNMP protocol to obtain device version information (software version information).

For the network group working platform 320, the network group working platform 320 is used to generate the device information capture command corresponding to each switch according to the software version information and send it to the switch management server. That is, the network group work platform 320 logs in to the switch management server 330 (CMD-AGENT) after generating the device information capture command, and sends an inventory request to it, so that the switch management server 330 can obtain the log information of the switch.

Specifically, after acquiring the software version information of each of the corresponding multiple switches 340, the network group work platform 320 may generate a device information capture command corresponding to the switch according to the software version information.

It should be noted that different models of switches and different software versions used by the switches have different device information capture commands. For example, the software version used by the Huawei Quidway S5400 switch is 5.30 and the software version used by the Huawei Quidway S9312 switch is 5.50, the command to capture device information is different between the two. Therefore, after the software version information of each switch needs to be determined, the corresponding device information capture command can be determined according to the software version information.

For the switch management server 330, the switch management server 330 is used to obtain the log information of the corresponding switch according to the inventory request, for example, the switch management server 330 can access the switch and download the log of the switch through the authentication, authorization and statistics AAA system information. Certainly, the switch management server may also use other methods to access the switch, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Specifically, the log information of the plurality of switches 340 includes switch information and component information inside the switch. More specifically, the switch information includes, for example, the switch type and the switch serial number, and the internal part information of the switch includes, for example, the part type and the part serial number SN. Certainly, the part information inside the switch is not limited thereto, such as the quantity of parts inside the switch.

In one example of the present invention, the switch management server 330 (CMD-AGENT) commands the switch to output files and download initial log information (LOG). After the download is complete, the switch management server 330 (CMD-AGENT) will conduct a preliminary analysis on the recovered log information, filter switch information irrelevant to the inventory and keep the required fields, such as switch type, switch serial number (SN), and part type in the switch etc., and send the filtered log information to the network group work platform (H platform).

The system of the embodiment of the present invention can automatically carry out remote inventory of network equipment, effectively improving the efficiency of online equipment inventory, and the automatic inventory function is based on the characteristics of the network equipment itself without the need for early capital investment, which saves budgetary expenditures and reduces costs. Computer rooms of various sizes provide good management, real-time grasp of online equipment information, and provide a favorable guarantee for asset security. It not only accurately counts the accuracy of the quantity, but also checks whether the parts in the network equipment are corresponding.

Referring to FIG. 5 , an inventory platform 310 in a further embodiment of the present invention includes a sending module 311 , a receiving module 312 and an inventory module 313 . in:

The sending module 311 is configured to send an inventory request to the network group work platform 320 . The receiving module 312 is used to obtain the log information of each switch (multiple switches 330) from the network group work platform 320, wherein the log information includes the information of the switch and the internal part information of the switch, wherein the information of the switch includes the switch type and The switch serial number, the part information inside the switch includes part type and part serial number. The inventory module 313 is used to compare the log information with the pre-stored switch information and component information to generate an inventory result.

In an example of the present invention, the inventory request includes one or more of equipment room information, switch type information, switch serial number, and switch management IP information. In this way, an inventory of the corresponding switch can be performed according to any one of the above inventory requests. For example, when it is necessary to take inventory of all the switches in a certain computer room, the above-mentioned inventory information can be defined as the above-mentioned computer room information, so that the switches in the above-mentioned computer room can be inventoried. Of course, the inventory information can also be any combination of computer room information, switch type information, switch serial number and switch management IP information. The inventory information is defined as the information of the above-mentioned computer room and the above-mentioned type information, so that the switches in the above-mentioned computer room with the above-mentioned switch type information can be inventoried. In addition, if you need to take inventory of a separate switch, you can fill in the inventory request as the management IP information of the switch.

As a specific example, the inventory module 310 includes a part comparison submodule (not shown in the figure), and the part comparison submodule is used to obtain the part information corresponding to each switch from the log information, and according to the part information in the part information The type determines whether the part type in each switch corresponds to the pre-stored part type in the system, where,

If so, it is further judged according to the part serial number in the part information whether the part serial number in each switch corresponds to the part serial number prestored in the system.

If the serial numbers correspond, it is judged that the inventory is correct.

If the serial numbers do not correspond, then further judgment is made on the profit or loss of the stock.

Wherein, the disk loss refers to the switch type recorded by the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS), and there is no corresponding information in the log file.

Overage refers to the type captured in the log information, and there is no information corresponding to it in the system.

The correct one is the type, the serial number, part type, etc. are all consistent with the records in the system (such as the remote monitoring system RMS).

If it is judged that the switch/part type and the switch/part name are consistent with the system record and the part serial number is different from the record in the system, the parts comparison sub-module continues to make the following judgments:
