NETWORK MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, NETWORK MANAGEMENT METHOD AND NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17789031 titled 'NETWORK MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, NETWORK MANAGEMENT METHOD AND NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The network management apparatus described in the patent application automates network operations using scripts in a production environment, with the ability to run scripts in different modes such as dry run mode.
- Script acquisition unit acquires scripts for automating network operations.
- Parameter acquisition unit acquires input parameters required to run the script in a production environment.
- Script running unit executes the script in the production environment based on the run mode and input parameters, skipping configuration changes in dry run mode.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in various industries where network management and automation are crucial, such as telecommunications, IT services, and cloud computing.
Problems Solved
1. Streamlining network operations by automating tasks through scripts. 2. Testing scripts in a production environment without making actual changes to network configurations.
Benefits
1. Increased efficiency in network management. 2. Reduced risk of errors in network configuration changes. 3. Cost savings by automating repetitive tasks.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing network operations in large enterprises. Title: Improving Network Management Efficiency with Script Automation
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of network management tools that allow for automation of tasks, but may not have the specific feature of running scripts in different modes like the described invention.
Unanswered Questions
How does the script acquisition unit determine which scripts to acquire for network automation?
The patent application does not provide details on the process of selecting or identifying scripts for network automation.
What types of input parameters are typically required to run scripts in a production environment?
The patent application does not specify the specific types of input parameters that are commonly needed for running scripts in a production environment.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed herein is a network management apparatus, comprising: a script acquisition unit configured to acquire a script for automating an operation related to operating a network; a parameter acquisition unit configured to acquire an input parameter that is required to run the script acquired by the script acquisition unit in a production environment of the script and a run mode in the production environment; and a script running unit configured to run the script acquired by the script acquisition unit according to the run mode acquired by the parameter acquisition unit using the input parameter acquired by the parameter acquisition unit, and, when the run mode is a dry run mode, the script running unit skipping a process of changing configuration of the network among processes described in the script, and running the script in the production environment.
