Method for Implementing Virtual Network Element and System Thereof
First Claim
1. A method for implementing a virtual Network Element (NE), comprising:
- constructing and storing virtual NE type definition information, each type of which includes type parameters of an actual NE of the same type;
constructing and storing virtual board type definition information, each type of which includes type parameters of an actual board of the same type;
deciding the type of a virtual NE to be constructed;
reading the corresponding virtual NE type definition information;
constructing, in a data area of a management object, a virtual NE entity, which has property information of an actual NE;
deciding the type of a virtual board to be constructed;
reading the corresponding virtual board type definition information;
constructing, in a designated slot of the constructed virtual NE entity, a virtual board entity which has property information of an actual board;
configuring service information and protection information for the constructed virtual NE entity; and
implementing a virtual NE device maintenance and a service allocation by simulating the management features of an actual NE device.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for implementing a virtual Network Element (NE), including: constructing type definition information of a virtual NE and a virtual board, which has all type parameters of an actual NE and board of the same type; obtaining the type definition information to construct a virtual NE entity and a virtual board entity which has property information of an actual NE; configuring service and protection information for the constructed virtual NE entity. Disclosed is a network management system for realizing a virtual NE, including: an application module, a foundation management module and a memory module, a virtual NE definition module which is used to construct the type definition information, a virtual NE device management module which is used to construct a virtual NE entity, a virtual NE service management module which is used for virtual NE service management, a data access interface module and an application interface module. It is possible to construct and maintain a virtual NE which can simulate actual NE devices completely in accordance with the present invention.
