一种实现电信设备端口license管理的方法及其系统A method and system for realizing port license management of telecommunication equipment

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及网络管理技术领域，具体来说，涉及到对电信设备的端口进行管理的技术。The invention relates to the technical field of network management, in particular to the technology for managing ports of telecommunication equipment.

背景技术Background technique

电信设备供应商在经营过程中常遇到如下问题：局方在下某种设备(如宽带接入设备)的采购计划时不是按标准配置下发定购单(PO，purchaseorder)，而是按实际的端口需要下采购计划，而接入设备的电信设备供应商提供的标准配置则基本上是8、16、32、48、64个端口的配置，设备供应商将只能按照大于定购单定购的标准配置的端口数量向局方提供设备，这样就可能造成端口的浪费，甚至多余的端口被用户无偿使用。Telecommunications equipment suppliers often encounter the following problems in the business process: when the bureau makes a purchase plan for a certain equipment (such as broadband access equipment), it does not issue a purchase order (PO, purchase order) according to the standard configuration, but according to the actual port It is necessary to make a purchase plan, and the standard configuration provided by the telecommunications equipment supplier of the access equipment is basically the configuration of 8, 16, 32, 48, and 64 ports. The equipment supplier will only be able to follow the standard configuration that is larger than the purchase order The number of ports provided to the bureau, which may cause a waste of ports, and even the redundant ports are used by users for free.

比如局方第一次下采购计划时可能采购79ADSL(Asymmetric DigitalSubscriber Loop/Line非对称数字用户环路)，而不是采购96ADSL，设备供应商将提供96ADSL，这样第一次采购可能就造成17路ADSL端口浪费。而第二次局方可能采购30ADSL，而设备供应商只能提供48ADSL，这样又造成18路ADSL端口浪费，这样两次采购共造成35路ADSL端口浪费。For example, the Bureau may purchase 79ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Loop/Line) instead of 96ADSL when it makes the purchase plan for the first time, and the equipment supplier will provide 96ADSL, so that the first purchase may result in 17 ADSL channels Port waste. In the second time, the bureau may purchase 30 ADSL, but the equipment supplier can only provide 48 ADSL, which causes 18 ADSL ports to be wasted, and the two purchases result in a total waste of 35 ADSL ports.

目前设备提供商基本上没有相应的控制策略，以满足客户的需求为主，如果同一个客户进行了多次采购，每次供应商都将按照多于定购单的标准配置的端口数量提供，不能充分利用已存在的端口进行业务开通，同时增大了硬件的开发成本。At present, equipment providers basically do not have corresponding control strategies to meet the needs of customers. If the same customer makes multiple purchases, each time the supplier will provide more ports than the standard configuration of the purchase order, which cannot fully Service provisioning is performed by using existing ports, and at the same time, hardware development costs are increased.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

本发明实施例的系统结构图如图1所示，主要包括license管理控制台、网管服务器和电信设备，其中：The system structure diagram of the embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figure 1, mainly including license management console, network management server and telecommunication equipment, wherein:

网管服务器除了运行网管功能后台进程外，还集成了License管理中心，License管理中心主要负责license文件的集中管理，并处理设备上电注册时的端口资源申请或者零散的资源申请，根据设备注册和零散资源申请的要求加载相应的License文件到设备；而且，License管理中心还可以根据运行要求对端口的license调整，达到对用户端口进行控制的目的。In addition to running the background process of the network management function, the network management server also integrates the license management center. The license management center is mainly responsible for the centralized management of the license file, and handles the port resource application or scattered resource application when the device is powered on and registered. Load the corresponding license file to the device as required by the resource application; moreover, the license management center can also adjust the license of the port according to the operation requirements to achieve the purpose of controlling the user port.

license文件生成器根据设备类型、设备序列号、设备版本、可授权的业务端口类型以及可授权的端口数量，按照一定的组合原则，经过加密算法生成license文件后存储在网管服务器上，License管理中心根据电信设备的端口资源申请在网管服务器上查找到相应的license文件，并通过FTP(FileTransfer Protocol，文件传输协议)或者TFTP(Trivial File Transfer Protocol，简单文件传输协议)协议将该文件传输到电信设备上。The license file generator generates a license file based on the device type, device serial number, device version, authorized service port type, and authorized port quantity according to a certain combination principle through an encryption algorithm and stores it on the network management server. The License Management Center Find the corresponding license file on the network management server according to the port resource application of the telecommunication equipment, and transfer the file to the telecommunication equipment through the FTP (File Transfer Protocol, File Transfer Protocol) or TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol, simple file transfer protocol) protocol superior.

电信设备用于进行业务发放，通过设备可以实现ADSL宽带上网、语音呼叫等业务，为实现端口的license管理，电信设备上配置有license控制中心，并配置有FTP或者TFTP服务器，用来接收license文件。Telecom equipment is used for service provisioning, through which services such as ADSL broadband Internet access and voice calls can be realized. In order to realize port license management, a license control center is configured on the telecom equipment, and an FTP or TFTP server is configured to receive license files. .

通过license管理控制台启动license管理服务时，网管License管理中心通过SNMP协议(简单网络管理协议)与电信设备交互，通知电信设备license控制中心开始执行端口license管理，电信设备License控制中心根据license生成器生成License文件的规则解析出设备类型、业务端口类型、业务端口可授权数量等，按照默认的方式控制授权数量范围内的端口发放业务。When the license management service is started through the license management console, the network management license management center interacts with the telecommunication equipment through the SNMP protocol (Simple Network Management Protocol), and notifies the telecommunication equipment license control center to start port license management. The rules for generating the license file analyze the device type, service port type, authorized number of service ports, etc., and control the port issuance service within the authorized number range by default.

在运行过程中，可能需要对上述默认授权的端口进行调整，比方说回收对某些端口的授权或者调整某些端口的授权，此时license管理控制台将权限调整指令传递给license管理中心，license管理中心通过SNMP协议与电信设备license交互，电信设备license控制中心根据license管理中心的指示对端口权限进行调整。During operation, it may be necessary to adjust the above-mentioned default authorized ports, for example, recycle the authorization of some ports or adjust the authorization of some ports. At this time, the license management console will pass the authority adjustment command to the license management center. The management center interacts with the telecommunication equipment license through the SNMP protocol, and the telecommunication equipment license control center adjusts the port authority according to the instruction of the license management center.

一般情况下，License策略发生作用可以是设备初始启动如上电时就加载License文件并启动License策略控制，也可以是启动之后只有用到某个特性时才去进行相应的License文件加载和策略控制。In general, the license policy can be used to load the license file and enable license policy control when the device is initially started, for example, when it is powered on, or it can load the corresponding license file and perform policy control only when a certain feature is used after the device is started.

电信设备上电时会携带“设备名称+设备版本+ESN(电子序列号)+Feature(特性)+items(项目)”信息主动向网管服务器的License管理中心进行注册，申请设备的端口license(其中，ESN不会随着设备硬件的改变而改变，items体现接入设备的license控制项，Feature表示设备的功能项)，License管理中心将该电信设备的所有资源和规模控制License文件下发到设备上。When the telecommunications equipment is powered on, it will carry the information of "device name + equipment version + ESN (electronic serial number) + Feature (feature) + items (items)" to actively register with the license management center of the network management server, and apply for the port license of the equipment (where , ESN will not change with the change of device hardware, items reflect the license control item of the access device, Feature represents the function item of the device), the License Management Center sends all resources and scale control license files of the telecommunications device to the device superior.

当启动一个没有License策略控制的端口资源活动时，电信设备license控制中心将携带“设备名称+设备版本+ESN+Feature+items”信息向License管理中心注册，并申请端口资源license，License控制中心根据设备申请将相应的端口License文件(该文件实现了资源和规模控制说明)加载到设备上。When starting a port resource activity that is not controlled by a license policy, the telecom equipment license control center will carry the information of "device name+device version+ESN+Feature+items" to register with the license management center and apply for a port resource license. The device applies and loads the corresponding port license file (the file realizes the description of resource and scale control) to the device.

电信设备license控制中心会根据设备序列号进行license文件识别，如果license文件不符合该设备，将发出警告。The telecom equipment license control center will identify the license file based on the serial number of the device, and will issue a warning if the license file does not match the device.

当license文件验证通过之后，如果已经启动了license控制服务，设备将会自动解析license文件，根据license文件内容实现相应的策略管理。License管理启动之后，系统自动进入license管理试用态(如一个月试用态)，在试用态内，所有端口均是可用的，但是会不定期(如每天一次)地通过license管理控制台提醒用户，license控制将会发生作用，提醒用户根据端口license进行购买。在试用态期满之后，系统自动进入license管理受控态，即只有license规定的端口数量的端口可以使用，其他端口即使已经使用，也自动失效，并通过管理控制台上报告警。After the license file is verified, if the license control service has been started, the device will automatically parse the license file and implement corresponding policy management based on the contents of the license file. After the license management is started, the system automatically enters the license management trial state (such as a one-month trial state). In the trial state, all ports are available, but the user will be reminded through the license management console from time to time (such as once a day). The license control will take effect, reminding the user to purchase according to the port license. After the trial state expires, the system automatically enters the license management controlled state, that is, only the number of ports specified in the license can be used, and other ports will automatically become invalid even if they have been used, and an alarm will be reported through the management console.

除了试用态、受控态之外，设备还提供一个普通态，三种运行态的关系如图2所示。普通态是没有启动license管理的设备运行状态，考虑到市场策略，不是每一个局点都需要实行根据端口license购买的策略，可以根据不同局点实现是否启动端口license管理的策略。In addition to the trial state and the controlled state, the device also provides a normal state. The relationship between the three operating states is shown in Figure 2. The normal state is the running state of the device without license management enabled. Considering the market strategy, not every site needs to implement the policy of purchasing according to the port license. The policy of whether to enable port license management can be implemented according to different sites.

本发明实施例流程如图3所示，包括如下步骤：The process flow of the embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figure 3, including the following steps:

步骤1：license文件生成器根据设备类型、设备序列号、设备版本、可授权的业务端口类型以及可授权的端口数量，按照一定的组合原则，经过加密算法生成license文件，每种端口资源的license文件均不相同。Step 1: The license file generator generates a license file through an encryption algorithm according to the device type, device serial number, device version, authorized service port type, and authorized port quantity according to certain combination principles. The license for each port resource The files are all different.

步骤2：电信设备向网管license管理中心申请端口资源。Step 2: The telecom equipment applies for port resources to the network management license management center.

步骤3、网管license管理中心通过FTP或者TFTP将相应资源的license文件加载到特定的电信设备中。Step 3, the network management license management center loads the license file of the corresponding resource into the specific telecommunication device through FTP or TFTP.

步骤4：通过license管理控制台启用license控制。Step 4: Enable license control through the license management console.

步骤5：启用license控制之后，加载了license文件的设备自动解析license文件，相应的license策略开始发生作用。Step 5: After the license control is enabled, the device loaded with the license file automatically parses the license file, and the corresponding license policy starts to take effect.

步骤6：电信设备License控制中心根据license生成器生成License文件的规则解析出设备类型、业务端口类型、业务端口可授权数量等，按照默认的方式控制授权数量范围内的端口发放业务。Step 6: The telecom equipment license control center parses out the device type, service port type, authorized number of service ports, etc. according to the rules of the license file generated by the license generator, and controls the port issuance service within the authorized number range in a default manner.

步骤7、电信设备License控制中心网管license管理中心调整端口权限的指示对端口权限进行调整。Step 7, the telecommunication equipment license control center, the network management license management center adjusts the port authority instruction to adjust the port authority.

如果用户有更多的端口业务发放的需求，则需要提出申请，供应商根据新的需求重新生成license文件，并且根据增加的端口数量进行二次收费。If the user needs to issue more port services, he needs to submit an application, and the supplier will regenerate the license file according to the new requirements, and charge for the second time according to the increased number of ports.
