Wired mesh networking method without distinguishing lan and wan ports

Abstract

The invention discloses a wired mesh networking method without distinguishing a lan port and a wan port, which comprises the following steps of: installing a Controller device: connecting any port of the Controller device to a port at the lan side of an optical network unit (ONU), sending a DHCP DISCOVER detection message carrying a special field option60, replying an offer message by the ONU, and identifying the port as the wan port at the moment; if the Controller device sends a 1905 detection message and the ONU (Optical Network Unit) has no reply, the Controller device is switched from the Auto mode to the Controller mode; the Agent1 equipment is installed as follows: any port of the Agent1 equipment in the Auto mode is connected to a port on the lan side of the Controller equipment, a detection message is sent, forwarded to an optical network unit (ONU) and replied to an offer message, and the port is identified as a wan port at the moment; and the Agent1 equipment sends a 1905 detection message, and if a reply exists, the Agent1 equipment switches the mode, and networking with the Controller equipment is successful. According to the invention, the lan / wan port can be automatically identified, the cost is reduced, and the utilization rate of the network port is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wired mesh networking method without distinguishing between lan and wan ports, and belongs to the technical field of distributed networks. Background technique [0002] The current mesh networking methods include wireless networking and wired networking. Wireless networking is divided into 2.4G networking and 5G networking. It is achieved through wireless association and the controller configures a synchronization agent. Wired networking means that the eth uplink port of the lower-level device is directly connected to the lan port of the upper-level device to realize networking. In the wired networking method, firstly, it is necessary to identify the lan and wan ports of the device, but for ordinary users, without professional knowledge, it is not clear what the lan and wan ports are. [0003] Therefore, in traditional wired networking, network ports need to be distinguished from the perspective of hardware and software. How...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In order to solve the problems that the current users can’t distinguish between lan / wan ports and how to carry out mesh networking when installing and installing devices by themselves, as well as the problem of switching from wireless networking to wired networking, and plugging in the wrong lan / wan port, resulting in unsuccessful wired networking , the present invention provides a wired mesh networking method that does not distinguish between lan and wan ports. On the one hand, lan / wan can be mixed and inserted, and lan / wan ports can be automatically identified, which is simple and convenient to use; on the other hand, in wireless networking , the eth uplink port can also be used as a lan port, the resource utilization is high, the network is stable, and the waste of the eth port in wireless networking can be avoided
