Patent

CA 2365436

A method of managing a data network entity is provided. The method includes a sequence of steps. A change in the operational state of the data network entity is detected. A CLI dictionary entry is retrieved form a CLI dictionary associated with the data network entity. Based on the retrieved CLI dictionary entry, CLI commands are extracted as specified to configure the data network entity to reflect the change in the operational state and a CLI command sequence from the extracted CLI commands is built. Each CLI command in the command sequence is sent to the data network entity, CLI command responses are monitored. And, based on a successful implementation of CLI commands send, subsequent CLI commands in the CLI command sequence are sent. The solution provides automated configuration management of data network entities from different vendors when SNMP is not a viable option. The automation eliminates manual CLI command entry, provides support for multi-vendor equipment by using multiple CLI command vocabularies and CLI command dictionaries. The solution reduces data network entity management costs, downtime, and training time for analysts. The advantages are derived from the ability to add CLI commands to the dictionary providing support for new types of data network entities via CLI command and response additions to the dictionary with reduced written code greatly improving the development and maintenance of the network management solution.
