Multi-protocol distribution network configuration audit and modeling method

The power distribution data network equipment landscape is characterized by a multitude of manufacturers and diverse models, resulting in complex network equipment configuration and management challenges. Each manufacturer's equipment is equipped with unique CLI instructions and configuration logic, complicating the standardization of data acquisition and management. Current practices still rely on manual configuration and static audits, which are time-consuming and prone to errors. Manual configuration requires individual processing of each device, imposing a heavy workload on technicians who must be familiar with various CLI instructions, thereby increasing configuration management complexity. Static auditing, often involving manual inspection or simple scripts, is inefficient and struggles to detect issues. Existing audit models are typically unidimensional, failing to fully encompass business requirements and configuration items, while also overlooking the interdependencies and mutual influences between configurations. This limitation compromises the comprehensiveness, accuracy, and effectiveness of configuration management strategies. Given that power distribution and utilization data networks support a variety of critical services, comprehensive auditing and management are essential to ensure network reliability, security, and efficient operation.

Abstract

The power distribution data network equipment landscape is characterized by a multitude of manufacturers and diverse models, resulting in complex network equipment configuration and management challenges. Each manufacturer's equipment is equipped with unique CLI instructions and configuration logic, complicating the standardization of data acquisition and management. Current practices still rely on manual configuration and static audits, which are time-consuming and prone to errors. Manual configuration requires individual processing of each device, imposing a heavy workload on technicians who must be familiar with various CLI instructions, thereby increasing configuration management complexity. Static auditing, often involving manual inspection or simple scripts, is inefficient and struggles to detect issues. Existing audit models are typically unidimensional, failing to fully encompass business requirements and configuration items, while also overlooking the interdependencies and mutual influences between configurations. This limitation compromises the comprehensiveness, accuracy, and effectiveness of configuration management strategies. Given that power distribution and utilization data networks support a variety of critical services, comprehensive auditing and management are essential to ensure network reliability, security, and efficient operation.
