TELECOMMUNICATIONS NODE CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for managing device firmware. In one aspect, a system includes a file server; a subtending device coupled to the file server, and a telecommunications node coupled to the subtending device. The subtending device can include one or more line cards that connect one or more telecommunications nodes to a network. The telecommunications node receives, from the subtending device, a group name and replaces a wildcard in a firmware filename to derive a first network path of firmware files. The telecommunications node installs the firmware files and subsequently receives an updated group name. The telecommunications node replaces the wildcard with the updated group name to derive an updated path, and obtains different firmware files from the updated path. The firmware installed on the telecommunications node is managed based on the first firmware and the different firmware.

1. A telecommunications device comprising:
a transceiver that couples the telecommunications device to a line card of a subtending device that provides access to a carrier network; a memory device; and a data processor coupled to the transceiver and the memory device, wherein the data processor is configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from the subtending device, a group name for the telecommunications device;obtaining a firmware filename, wherein the firmware filename includes a wildcard;replacing the wildcard in the firmware filename with the group name to derive a first network path of firmware files for the telecommunications device;installing first firmware files from the first network path;receiving, from the subtending device, an updated group name for the telecommunications device;replacing the wildcard in the firmware filename with the updated group name to derive an updated network path of firmware files for the telecommunications device;obtaining second firmware files from the updated path;managing firmware installed on the telecommunications device based on the first firmware files and the second firmware files.
