摘要： A method of establishing and maintaining a consistent configuration state of a first processor, running on a first version of operating software, and a second processor, running on a second version of operating software, is described. The method involves determining a current configuration state of the first processor, where the configuration state comprises a list of configuration commands. The method also involves performing a syntax check for each command in the current configuration, using the second processor and the second version of operating software, with the syntax check resulting in a pass or a fail result. For every command which results in a fail result, an entry is added to a mismatched configuration list (MCL). Embodiments of this invention can be utilized to keep the configurations consistent during an upgrade or downgrade of the operating software.

摘要翻译： 描述了在第二版本的操作软件上运行的在第一版本的操作软件上运行的第一处理器和第二处理器的一致配置状态的建立和维护的方法。 该方法涉及确定第一处理器的当前配置状态，其中配置状态包括配置命令的列表。 该方法还涉及使用第二处理器和第二版本的操作软件对当前配置中的每个命令执行语法检查，语法检查导致通过或失败结果。 对于导致失败结果的每个命令，会将一个条目添加到不匹配的配置列表（MCL）中。 可以利用本发明的实施例来在操作软件的升级或降级期间保持配置一致。

摘要： A method and apparatus for managing a network access device is provided. Embedded within the access device are three distinct software layers. The first layer is a combined text-interface generator and Hypertext Transport Protocol client. The second layer is a combined Hypertext Transport Protocol server and Simple Network Management Protocol manager. The third layer is a Simple Network Management Protocol agent that has direct access to the configuration data of the access device. A user can manage the device through the embedded text-interface generator, by using an external HTTP client to communicate with the embedded HTTP server, or by using an external SNMP manager to communicate with the embedded SNMP agent. Techniques are disclosed for embedding SNMP information in messages passed between HTTP clients and servers.
