Configuration Tree-Based Network Device Parameter Generation and Deployment Framework

As the scale of networks continues to expand, the automated management of network device parameters becomes increasingly important. This paper proposes a configuration tree-based framework for the generation and deployment of network device parameters, focusing primarily on routers and switches. Firstly, in the parsing phase, we utilize YANG models and YIN files to perform feature parsing on the parameter configuration files, abstracting intermediate configuration templates from the collected network configuration information. Secondly, in the parameter generation phase, based on the optimal matching mapping rules of nodes, new configuration files for required services are generated from the intermediate configuration templates. Finally, in the deployment phase, the configuration files are deployed to the devices through OF-CONFIG. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of this framework.
