Abstract
The present invention relates to a device and method for managing a communication equipment, such as a router or a switch, using a command-line interface (CLI). A managing unit managing the communication equipment stores management information, which is a newly added software module or command, in a string format in a management file storage, and the management information is parsed in a parser and a newly registered management information is added to a database, thereby registering new management information without the need of compiling a CLI agent.
Claims14
A device for managing a communication equipment using a CLI (command-line interface) agent, comprising:
- a management file storage for receiving and storing a management information defined by a managing unit;
- and
- the CLI agent for parsing the management information from the management file storage to determine whether or not the parsed management information has a newly registered information and storing the newly registered information based on the determination when the communication equipment is initially activated, and for allocating a socket port for a newly registered software module and an IPC (inter process communication).
A method for managing a communication equipment using a CLI (command-line interface) agent, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing a management information for managing the communication equipment by a managing unit;
- parsing, by a command register, the management information when the communication equipment is initially activated and determining whether or not the parsed management information has a newly registered management information;
- and
- storing the newly registered management information in a database by the command register based on the determination.
A method for managing a communication equipment using a CLI (command-line interface) agent, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing a management information for managing the communication equipment 100 in a string format via a console;
- parsing the stored management information;
- determining whether or not the parsed management information has a newly registered management information, and if so, it is further determined whether or not the newly registered management information is a software module stored in the database;
- determining whether a newly registered mode is a mode stored in the database;
- and
- if the newly registered mode is the mode stored in the database, determining whether the newly registered command is a command previously stored in the database, and if not, registering a new command in the database.
