Intelligent automatic reconfiguration method and apparatus for network system
First Claim
1. A method for intelligent automatic reconfiguration of network system comprising the steps of:
- acquiring configuration of at least one network device connected to said network system and storing the configuration in a database;
detecting a status of the network device; and
determining whether to transmit the configuration stored in the database to the network device for implementing automatic reconfiguration therein according to a result derived from detecting said status of the network device.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for intelligent automatic reconfiguration of a network system basically implements an automatic reconfiguration apparatus to acquire the configuration of every network device and generates a topology of the network devices. Afterward, the automatic reconfiguration apparatus can detect the status of the network devices. When some network device is replaced by a new network device due to a breakdown or other factors, the automatic reconfiguration apparatus can detect the changed status and check the hardware version as well as the corresponding location in the topology of the former network device. If the e hardware version of the new network device is identical to the hardware version of the corresponding former network device in the topology, the disclosed apparatus can automatically load the stored prime configuration into the new network device for performing automatic configuration to the network device.
