Abstract

Configuration complexity is a novel research field.The concept of configuration complexity is outlined in this paper, as well as current research is introduced briefly. Based on the current study results and best practice, improved configuration complexity quantitative model is proposed in the paper. Then, after an enterprise network environment is constructed in the laboratory, the quantitative model is applied to the configuration process of network, looking for configuration hot-spot. Finally, the method of reducing complexity is proposed in the paper, XML language is used to describe the configuration process. From this method and combines Web service platform, the degree of automation of configuration process obtains improvement.
