Description

Method of network system configuration auto setting

The present invention relates to a method for setting each system component at the start or upgrade of a network system, and in particular, automatic configuration of a network system component for automatically setting a component value optimized for an environment of clients in which each system is installed. It is about a method.

When the network system first boots, it must set initial values for each component. Until now, these default settings had to be set manually by the user according to the system environment.

1 is a block diagram showing a configuration for setting a conventional network system component.

Referring to FIG. 1, a boot ROM 110 in which a program operated at a startup boot in a network system is stored and performing a booting operation, and a network component for storing network components necessary for the booting process of the boot ROM 110 are provided. It includes a storage unit 120, a flash memory 130 for storing a program necessary for system operation, and an SD-RAM 140 for loading a program stored in the flash memory 130 to operate the system. .

In the system configured as described above, during the initial booting, the boot ROM 110 performs an operation of loading a system component stored in the network component storage unit 120 and setting the system component in each system. At this time, the component values stored in the network component storage unit 120 are values stored when the system has been previously operated. When there is no request for setting the system component values from the user, the network component storage unit 120 is stored. To load the component values.

After the system operates, the program stored in the flash memory 130 is loaded into the SD-RAM 140 to operate the system.

After the system is operated as described above, the user can set and store the component values through the web interface or the console. In this case, the component values are stored in the flash memory.

The components stored as described above are loaded into the network component storage unit 120 and the flash memory 130 when the system is rebooted, thereby enabling system operation.

However, setting up the system components in the conventional way is entirely up to the user, and since the user does not know the actual user's environment when designing the system for the first time, the user needs to rely on the manual given at the first boot. There is a hassle to enter.

In addition, since the configuration, process and method of each configuration is not the same for each system, it is very difficult for a user who does not have accurate knowledge of the system to set the components.

Likewise, when the system is upgraded, it is inconvenient to initialize and reset the previous component storage or flash memory.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is to create a file as a system component separately to be loaded and applied at the time of system boot or upgrade, so that a user without prior knowledge of the system has no knowledge in system management. You can download component settings files for your environment from your administrator and apply them at system boot or upgrade time to optimize configuration and reduce the difficulty of configuring components. The purpose is to provide a setting method.

In case of selecting access to the system server, accessing a system management server and inputting an environment for operating the system;

Receiving a file of a component setting value according to an environment input from the server and storing the file in a system;

Determining whether a component is set in the system;

As a result of the determination, when the component is set, the method may include loading the component setting value file and storing the component value in the network component storage unit and the flash memory.

Preferably, when the system boot is selected to read the pre-stored configuration file, the system booting by loading the pre-stored configuration file, and further comprising the step of storing the component value in the network component storage unit and flash memory It is characterized by.

Preferably, the component setting value file received from the system management server is

Receiving system usage environment information from a user connected in the system management server;

Setting a configuration value for system optimization using the received data, and storing the configuration value as a file having a predetermined format;

And transmitting the stored system component settings file to the connected user.

With reference to the accompanying drawings, a method for automatically setting network system components, which is configured as described above, will be described in detail as follows.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration for automatic configuration of network system components according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a boot ROM 220 for storing a program operated at a start boot in a network system and performing a booting operation, and where to load a network component necessary for a boot process of the boot ROM 220 may be loaded. A user selector 230 for selecting and instructing a user, a network component storage unit 240 for storing network components, a flash memory 250 for storing programs necessary for system operation, and the flash. And an SD-RAM 260 for loading a program stored in the memory 130 to operate the system, and a component file unit 270 for storing a file storing a component value of the system in an arbitrary format. do.

In addition, by selecting the user selection unit 230 is configured to include a system management server 210 for accessing to download the system components from the system administrator to suit the environment.

When booting for the first time in a system configured as described above, or when a system component needs to be changed due to an upgrade, the component file unit 270 having a system component value is loaded in advance, or directly to the system management server 210. After accessing and inputting environment information, the component setting value file may be downloaded, stored in the component file unit 270, loaded, and set during system operation.

The method of setting the components of the system as described above is as follows.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation procedure of a method for automatically setting network system components according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the network system initially boots to start an operation or deletes all component values due to an upgrade and attempts to reboot (S301), the component file unit 270 is provided through a selection unit. In (S302), it is possible to select whether to load the stored component setting value file (1) or access the system management server 210 (2).

In this case, when the system user selects to access the system management server 210 (2), the system accesses the system manager server 210 and inputs environmental information for using the current system (S303).

The system manager server 210 receives the environment information, generates a component setting value that can be optimal system operation, makes it into a file in a specific format (S304), and transmits it to the system.

The component setting file transmitted from the system management server 210 may be stored in the component file unit 270 of the system (S305), and the booting operation may be performed by loading the stored component setting file in the boot ROM. (S306).

In this case, in order to store a file received from the system management server 210, a file storage function should be added in the system, and the component setting value file may be used in a text file format in which one format is designated.

After performing the booting operation, the boot ROM stores the component setting values loaded from the component setting file in the network component storage unit 240 and the flash memory 250 to be used at the next system boot (S307). ), The system is operated by the optimized set value (S308).

In addition, in the case of downloading and loading the system component setting file from the system management server in advance, the boot ROM 220 loads the component setting file stored in the component file unit 270 to boot (S306). After storing the component setting values in the network component storage unit 240 and the flash memory 250 (S307), the system is operated (S308).

By setting the component values of the system using the method described above, even if the system user does not have the correct knowledge, the component values can be set to optimize the system by simply accessing the management server and inputting only the use environment. In addition, the system provides convenience to the user and re-enter the system component setting values according to the upgrade by a simple procedure, so that the system can be managed to have optimal performance.
