Abstract

Embodiments herein provide a method for generating multiple IP addresses in a wireless network by a system (100). The method includes receiving user request to generate multiple IP addresses of at least one network element. Further, the method includes retrieving the IP address template corresponding to the at least one network element from a database (120) based on the user request, wherein the IP address template comprises a plurality of network parameters corresponding to positionally encoded bits of an IP schema. Further, the method includes generating the multiple IP addresses of the at least one network element based on the set of user defined labels, the count of the multiple of IP addresses of the at least one network element, the IP address template and the IP schema. Further, the method includes displaying the generated multiple IP addresses of the at least one network element.

First claim

We claim:

1. A system for generating multiple Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in a wireless network, wherein the system comprises:
a memory; and
a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, configured to:
receive a user request to generate multiple IP addresses of at least one network element, wherein the user request comprises:
a set of user defined labels corresponding to at least one IP configuration of the at least one network element defined in an IP template, and
a count of the multiple IP addresses to generated for the at least one IP configuration of the at least one network element defined in the IP template;
retrieve the IP address template corresponding to the at least one network element from a database based on the user request, wherein the IP address template comprises a plurality of network parameters corresponding to positionally encoded bits of an IP schema;
generate the multiple IP addresses of the at least one network element based on the set of user defined labels, the count of the multiple of IP addresses of the at least one network element, the IP address template and the IP schema; and
display the generated multiple IP addresses of the at least one network element.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the generate the multiple IP addresses of the at least one network element comprises:
determine a set of system generated labels that describe the one or more network parameters of the plurality of network parameters defined in the IP address template based on the user request; and
generate the multiple IP addresses of the at least one network element based on the set of user defined labels, the count of the multiple of IP addresses of the at least one network element, the IP address template, the IP schema, and the system generated labels.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein receive the user request to generate the multiple IP addresses of the at least one network element comprises:
display a user interface to create the user request, wherein the user interface displays a plurality of input fields that describe one or more network parameters of the plurality of network parameters in the IP address template network parameters and an IP configuration count indication;
receive the user defined label inputted in each input field of the plurality of input fields by the user;
receive an input on the IP count configuration indication;
display an IP configuration count interface comprising a configuration count field to configure the count of the multiple IP addresses to generated for the at least one IP configuration of the at least one network element;
receive the count of the multiple IP addresses inputted in the configuration count field by the user; and
generate the user request based on the inputted user defined labels in each of the input fields and the inputted count of the multiple IP addresses to be generated for the at least one IP configuration of the at least one network element.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the network element is at least one of an network interface, a category of a device in the wireless network, a type of device in the wireless network, a vendor of a device in the wireless network, a service category of a device in the wireless network, and a network interface in the wireless network.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to allocate the multiple IP addresses to the at least one network element.

6. A method for generating multiple Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in a wireless network, wherein the method comprises:
receiving, by a system, a user request to generate multiple IP addresses of at least one network element, wherein the user request comprises:
a set of user defined labels corresponding to at least one IP configuration of the at least one network element defined in an IP template, and
a count of the multiple IP addresses to generated for the at least one IP configuration of the at least one network element defined in the IP template;
retrieving, by the system, the IP address template corresponding to the at least one network element from a database based on the user request, wherein the IP address template comprises a plurality of network parameters corresponding to positionally encoded bits of an IP schema;
generating, by the system, the multiple IP addresses of the at least one network element based on the set of user defined labels, the count of the multiple of IP addresses of the at least one network element, the IP address template and the IP schema; and
displaying, by the system, the generated multiple IP addresses of the at least one network element.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the generating, by the system, the multiple IP addresses of the at least one network element comprises:
determining, by the system, a set of system generated labels that describe the one or more network parameters of the plurality of network parameters defined in the IP address template based on the user request; and
generating, by the system, the multiple IP addresses of the at least one network element based on the set of user defined labels, the count of the multiple of IP addresses of the at least one network element, the IP address template, the IP schema, and the system generated labels.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein receiving, by the system, the user request to generate the multiple IP addresses of the at least one network element comprises:
displaying, by the system, a user interface to create the user request, wherein the user interface displays a plurality of input fields that describe one or more network parameters of the plurality of network parameters in the IP address template network parameters and an IP configuration count indication;
receiving, by the system, the user defined label inputted in each input field of the plurality of input fields by the user;
receiving, by the system, an input on the IP count configuration indication;
displaying, by the system, an IP configuration count interface comprising a configuration count field to configure the count of the multiple IP addresses to generated for the at least one IP configuration of the at least one network element;
receiving, by the system, the count of the multiple IP addresses inputted in the configuration count field by the user; and
generating, by the system, the user request based on the inputted user defined labels in each of the input fields and the inputted count of the multiple IP addresses to be generated for the at least one IP configuration of the at least one network element.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the network element is at least one of an network interface, a category of a device in the wireless network, a type of device in the wireless network, a vendor of a device in the wireless network, a service category of a device in the wireless network, and a network interface in the wireless network.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the method comprises allocating, by the system, the multiple IP addresses to the at least one network element.
