Avtomatizacija nadzora usmerjevalnih protokolov v operaterskih omrežjih z orodjem Ansible

PETERNELJ, JAKA (author), Kos, Andrej (mentor)

V tej magistrski nalogi je obravnavan problem avtomatizacije nadzora usmerjevalnih protokolov v operaterskih omrežjih. Sodobna operaterska omrežja so zasnovana hierarhično, njihovo upravljanje pa zahteva učinkovite rešitve za nadzor nad ključnimi protokoli, kot sta OSPF in BGP. Naloga predstavi operaterska omrežja, proces nadzora njihovega delovanja in delovanje različnih usmerjevalnih protokolov, osredotoča pa se na razvijanje rešitev za avtomatizacijo teh procesov z uporabo orodja Ansible. Na podlagi teoretičnih izhodišč so bile razvite Ansible zbirke ukazov za nadzor omrežnih vmesnikov in spremljanje stanj sej protokolov BGP in OSPF, ter mehanizem za periodično izvajanje teh zbirk. S pomočjo razvitih zbirk ukazov smo na resničnem primeru operaterskega omrežja odkrili tri neaktivne seje OSPF.

• Title: Automation of Routing Protocol Monitoring in Internet Service Provider Networks with Ansible

Abstract

This master's thesis addresses the issue of automating the monitoring of routing protocols in Internet service provider (ISP) networks. Modern ISP networks are hierarchically structured, and their management requires effective solutions for monitoring key protocols such as OSPF and BGP. The thesis provides an overview of ISP networks, the process of monitoring their operations, and the functionality of various routing protocols, with a focus on developing solutions to automate these processes using the Ansible tool. Based on theoretical foundations, Ansible playbooks were developed to monitor network interfaces and track the states of BGP and OSPF sessions, along with a mechanism for the periodic execution of these playbooks. Using the developed playbooks, three inactive OSPF sessions were identified in a real-world ISP network scenario.
