ABSTRACT:
A method of interacting with a managed data network entity is provided. The method includes a sequence of steps. A change in the operational state of the managed 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 therefrom to configure the managed data network entity to reflect the detected change in the operational state. A CLI command sequence is built from the extracted CLI commands. Each CLI command in the command sequence is sent to the managed data network entity for execution. CLI command responses are monitored. Based on a successful execution of CLI commands send, subsequent CLI commands in the CLI command sequence are sent for execution. 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 in providing network management and service provisioning solutions, provides support for multi-vendor equipment by processing multiple CLI command vocabulary and grammar specifications in the CLI command dictionary. 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 CLI dictionary providing support for new types of data network entities with human readable code greatly improving the development and maintenance of the network management and service provisioning solution.
