A broadband PLC product and its method for realizing multi-wan connection

Abstract

The invention discloses a broadband programmable logic controller (PLC) product and a method for achieving multi-wide area network (WAN) connection. The broadband PLC product comprises one WAN port and at least two local area network (LAN) ports, and the method for achieving multi-WAN connection comprises receiving and saving WAN configuration information submitted by a user through a web page, wherein the WAN configuration information comprises WAN connection quantity and a mode, a business type and business configuration information of each WAN connection, the WAN connection quantity is smaller than or equal to LAN port quantity; resetting an exchanging port register according to the WAN configuration information, wherein the set exchanging port register is used for building a virtual local area network (VLAN) corresponding to each WAN connection and building a binding relation between each WAN connection and the corresponding LAN ports; and gradually starting network service corresponding to each WAN connection. By means of the technical scheme, requirements of a user for using different businesses can be met, requirements of an operator for customizing multilevel businesses are met, and cost is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of power line communication, in particular to a broadband PLC product and a method for realizing multi-WAN connections. Background technique [0002] Broadband PLC ((PowerLineCommunication, power line communication) products realize broadband data transmission through power line access. Common broadband PLC products have a physical WAN (WideAreaNetwork, wide area network) interface and multiple LAN (LocalAreaNetwork, local area network) interfaces, functionally What is realized is a single WAN connection, that is, the WAN interface can only be set to one mode (such as routing mode or bridge mode) at the same time, and can only connect to one broadband service, such as PPPoE (point to point protocol over Ethernet, point-to-point connection protocol) service, this When all the users who access the LAN interface use this service. But this broadband PLC product has the following defects: [0003] 1. It cannot connect to ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. It cannot connect to multiple broadband services at the same time, and cannot meet the needs of different users for different services, nor can it meet the needs of operators to customize multi-level services;

[0004] 2. Under the architecture of a single WAN interface, if you need to increase the WAN connection, you need to add a physical WAN interface. The disadvantage of this method is that it greatly increases the hardware cost of the product
