DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is directed to the user interface and policy loading aspects of a policy-based, outsourced, network management system.
In one aspect, a user selects policies using a graphical user interface (GUI) with a two paned window having a tree view of the policies in one pane.
In another aspect, the policies are (1) created in the GUI format (e.
g.
, XML), (2) sent over a network (e.
g.
, the internet) to a service center in the same format, and (3) are loaded, manipulated and stored in the same format.
In another aspect, the initial loading of the policies is done using a bulk loader in a logic layer.
In another aspect, the logic layer also includes a configuration checker which handles changes or additions to policies in a finished network management system.
Any aspects of the new or changed policy that are inconsistent with the finished system are parsed and stripped out.
In another aspect, where the details of a new policy or change aren't specified, a base configuration creator creates a policy with minimal attributes.
In another aspect, the logic layer also contains a device control console, which allows bypassing the policy creating and configuring to allow a user to directly access a device for configuration.
In one embodiment, the management system is multi-layered, modular and stores device configuration data in non-device specific format, which are subsequently translated to device-specific format by lower layers of the management system.
The non-device specific format is the same (e.
g.
, XML) as that used to create the policies with the user GUI (e.
g.
, browser) and transport them to the service center over the internet.
In one embodiment, a policy engine develops policies in a hierarchical format, but then stores the device schema, or objects, in a low-level, flat (non-hierarchical or parallel) database.
Multiple hierarchical services which impact a single device have the characteristics related to that device knitted together, and then fed back to a policy store database as a flat file for that device, in a non-device specific format
