A network control method, device and system

Abstract

The invention provides a networking control method, apparatus and system. The networking control method comprises the steps of taking one of multiple network cameras as a detection network camera, receiving a connection test notification message from an exchanger, and obtaining IP addresses of respective network cameras on a loop circuit where the detection network camera is located according to the connection test notification message; enabling the detection network camera to test whether the loop circuit is connected or not according to the IP addresses of the respective network cameras; and when the loop circuit is connected, enabling the detection network camera to block any one port, which is connected to a looped network, of the detection network camera. By adoption of the networking control method, the problem of loop circuit existing in the networking of the network cameras by using the looped network is eliminated, so that the problem of broadcast storm caused by network loop circuit can be avoided; furthermore, the networking of the network cameras is implemented by the looped network, so that the networking cost can be lowered; and in addition, redundancy protection for one or two network link faults can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a networking control method, device and system. Background technique [0002] At present, most of the networking methods for network cameras still use a star network for networking, that is, a switch is directly connected to multiple network cameras at the same time. This networking method will lead to excessive pressure on the switch and high networking costs. ; If a ring network is used to network the IP cameras, it will face the problem of broadcast storms caused by network loops. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] In view of this, the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a networking control method, device and system to solve the above problems. [0004] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a networking control method for a ring network including a switch and a plurality of network cameras, the plurality o...
