All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Example one
The embodiment of the invention provides a configuration method of network node equipment, which is used for configuring functions of the network node equipment in a local area network comprising a router and an expander. The router is a network node connecting the local area network and an external network, the expander is connected with the router to access the local area network, and users in the local area network access the external network through the router. The lan in the embodiments of the present invention may be various lans including a router and an expander, and may specifically be a home-wide lan or an office-wide lan in terms of network coverage, for example, a home internet of things based on a Power Line Communication (PLC) technology, and may be a wired or wireless ethernet in terms of an information transmission manner. Of course, this does not mean that the configuration method of the network node device provided by the present invention can only be applied to the home lan, and the present invention does not limit the specific application scenario of the home lan.
Referring to fig. 1, the configuration method of the network node device provided in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:
101. the network node device detects the connection location.
The network node device in the local area network includes a router and an expander. Generally, a home lan has only one router as a network node device for connecting the lan and an external network, and an expander accesses the network by connecting to the router, and communication between a user device in the lan and other users in the lan, and communication between the user device in the lan and the network external to the lan, need to pass through the router.
The connection location referred to in this embodiment refers to a location of the network node device in the local area network. If the network node equipment is directly connected with the external network, the network node equipment is in the router position, and if the network node equipment is not directly connected with the external network, the network node equipment is in the expander position.
102. And setting the working mode according to the connection position.
The network node equipment works in a router mode and an expander mode, and completes the router function in the router mode and completes the expander function in the expander mode.
After the network node equipment completes detection of the connection position, whether the network node equipment is directly connected with an external network or not is determined, if yes, the working mode is set to be a router mode, and if not, the working mode is set to be an expander mode.
According to the configuration method of the network node equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention, the connection position is detected, the working mode is set according to the connection position, the working mode conversion can be automatically completed without manual operation of a user, and different functions are completed in different working modes, so that the use operation of the user is reduced, and the use experience of the user is improved.
Example two
Based on the embodiment corresponding to fig. 1, a second embodiment of the present invention provides a method for configuring a network node device, which is shown in fig. 2 and includes the following steps:
201. and setting the working mode as a default working mode.
The network node equipment has two working modes, namely a router mode and an expander mode, and completes the router function in the router mode and the expander function in the expander mode. Wherein the default operating mode is either router mode or extender mode.
The network node device operates in a default operating mode before determining the correct operating mode. Typically, there is only one router in the lan, and there may be more than one expander. For a local area network comprising a plurality of network node devices, wherein a majority of the network node devices need to operate in router mode, it is preferred that the default operating mode is expander mode.
202. The connection position is detected.
The correct operating mode is determined by detecting the connection location. Taking the existing home-to-home broadband access method as an example, a Point-to-Point protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) dial-up access method, a specific method for detecting a connection location by a network node device may be to determine whether a DHCP server can be accessed. For the access mode of dynamic Internet Protocol (IP), the specific way to detect the connection location may be to determine whether the PPPoE server can be accessed.
There are many triggering conditions for detecting the connection position, and the following two optional triggering conditions are only used as examples in this embodiment.
First, when a network node device detects a connection to a network cable, detection of the connection location is triggered. For example, when the network node device initially accesses the network, is restarted after power failure, is restarted after warm restart, or is started after reset, it is first detected whether the network node device is connected to the network cable, and if so, the detection of the connection position is triggered.
Second, after the network node device accesses the network cable, the connection location is periodically detected. For example, in a specific application scenario, a network node device a operates in a router mode, a network node device B operates in an expander mode, and the network node device a and the network node device B are connected by a network line L, where the network node device a is connected to an a-terminal of the network line L, and the network node device B is connected to a B-terminal of the network line L. When the network node device a fails, the user disconnects the network node device a from the local area network, and then inserts the a end of the network line L into the subscriber port. In this case, the network node device B may find that the connection location changes in time by periodically detecting the connection location, so as to reset the operation mode in time, thereby avoiding network interruption and affecting the user's use.
203. And setting the working mode according to the connection position.
Optionally, for the PPPoE dial-up access mode, when it is determined that the DHCP server can be accessed, the working mode is set to the router mode. And when the access is determined to be unavailable, setting the working mode as the expander mode.
And aiming at the dynamic IP address access mode, when the PPPoE server can be accessed, setting the working mode as a router mode. And when the access is determined to be unavailable, setting the working mode as the expander mode.
Preferably, the network node device may set a plurality of determination conditions for a plurality of access manners so as to be suitable for the plurality of access manners. For example, the detection of the connection location may be a determination of whether the network node device has access to a DHCP server and whether the network node device has access to a PPPoE server. And when one of the DHCP server and the PPPoE server is determined to be accessible, setting the working mode to be a router mode. And when the DHCP server and the PPPoE server are determined not to be accessed, setting the working mode as an expander mode.
Further, in addition to automatically setting the operation mode, the network node device may provide an Interface for manually setting the operation mode to the User, including a hardware Interface or a software Interface, such as a dial switch, or a software Interface, such as a web User Interface (Website User Interface). In this way, by providing the interface set manually, different requirements of the user can be met, for example, in the fault handling, the user sets the working mode manually to perform operations such as debugging and maintenance.
According to the configuration method of the network node equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention, the connection position is detected, the working mode is set according to the connection position, the working mode conversion can be automatically completed without manual operation of a user, and different functions are completed in different working modes, so that the use operation of the user is reduced, and the use experience of the user is improved.
