The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” as used in this application and claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0049] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used to describe various information in embodiments of this application, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" may also be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to a determination."
[0050] For example, see Figure 1 The diagram shown is a detailed flowchart of a device management method provided in an embodiment of this application, applied to an SDN network. The SDN controller manages a Spine, a target Leaf, and a wireless AC. A first AP is connected to the target Leaf, and a second AP is connected to the target Access to be managed. The method includes the following steps:
[0051] Step 100: Establish a wireless link between the first AP and the second AP.
[0052] This explanation uses a campus SDN network as an example. The campus SDN network includes Spine, Leaf, and Access devices. For an example, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic of a campus SDN network according to an embodiment of this application. The controller cluster, Spine, and Leaf are connected by wires. The wireless AC is connected to the Spine / Leaf. Access devices can be connected to Leaf devices via wires. If environmental factors prevent a wired connection between Access and Leaf devices, the solution provided in this embodiment can be used to integrate Access devices into the network wirelessly.
[0053] In this embodiment, the target Access to be managed needs to have a wireless function module, and the target Leaf used to access the target Access also needs to have a wireless function module. In this embodiment, wireless functionality can be provided to the target Access and the target Leaf by connecting an Access Point (AP). For example, a first AP is connected to the target Leaf, and a second AP is connected to the target Access to be managed.
[0054] In practical applications, if no other APs are deployed between the first AP and the second AP, that is, if the target Access and the target Leaf are close to each other, a wireless link can be established based on the first AP and the second AP. In this case, it is not necessary to deploy other APs between the target Access and the target Leaf. Therefore, a better way to establish a wireless link between the first AP and the second AP is as follows:
[0055] When the first AP and the second AP are powered on, the first AP establishes a temporary wireless link with the second AP; the second AP obtains the configuration for establishing the wireless link between the first AP and the second AP from the wireless AC, the configuration of the wireless link including a first radio frequency mode and a first working channel specified for establishing the wireless link; the first AP and the second AP establish the wireless link based on the configuration of the wireless link, through the first radio frequency mode and the first working channel.
[0056] Specifically, the wireless AC is pre-configured with a configuration for establishing a wireless link between the first AP and the second AP. This configuration includes at least the radio frequency mode and working channel information for the first AP and the second AP to establish a wireless link. After the controller manages the Spine, the target Leaf and the wireless AC, the first AP connected to the target Leaf can establish a link tunnel with the wireless AC after it is powered on and then obtains the configuration from the wireless AC.
[0057] Next, after the target Access and the second AP power on, the first and second APs discover each other according to the protocol, for example, by listening to and filtering channels, and attempting to establish temporary wireless links with neighboring APs on the other end of the filtered channels one by one. After the second AP determines that a temporary wireless link has been established with the first AP, the second AP can establish a link tunnel with the wireless AC according to the protocol, and then obtain the configuration from the wireless AC. At this time, both the first and second APs have obtained the configuration, and can then establish a wireless link and disconnect the temporary wireless link based on the radio frequency mode and working channel information included in the configuration.
[0058] If other APs are deployed between the first AP and the second AP, that is, if the target Access and the target Leaf are far apart and a wireless link cannot be established based solely on the first AP and the second AP, then other APs need to be deployed between the target Access and the target Leaf.
[0059] Specifically, one or more APs are deployed between the first AP and the second AP, and each AP has a pre-configured neighbor whitelist; therefore, a preferred implementation method for establishing a wireless link between the first AP and the second AP is as follows:
[0060] When each AP powers on, each AP establishes a temporary wireless link with other APs based on its local neighbor whitelist. The temporary wireless links established between the APs constitute the temporary wireless link between the first AP and the second AP. Each AP obtains the configuration for establishing the wireless link between the first AP and the second AP from the wireless AC. The configuration of the wireless link includes a first radio frequency mode and a first working channel specified for establishing the wireless link. Based on the configuration of the wireless link and its local neighbor whitelist, each AP establishes a wireless link with neighboring APs through the first radio frequency mode and the first working channel. The wireless links established between the APs constitute the wireless link between the first AP and the second AP.
[0061] For example, if AP1 is also deployed between the first AP and the second AP, then the neighbor whitelist on the first AP is AP1, the neighbor whitelist on AP1 is the first AP and the second AP, and the neighbor whitelist on the second AP is AP1. When establishing a temporary wireless link, each AP only establishes a temporary wireless link with APs included in the neighbor whitelist, that is, the first AP establishes a temporary wireless link with AP1, and the second AP establishes a temporary wireless link with AP1.
[0062] After AP1 establishes temporary wireless link 1 with the first AP, it can establish a link tunnel with the wireless AC and then obtain configuration from the wireless AC. Furthermore, the second AP establishes temporary wireless link 2 with AP1, and the second AP can then establish a link tunnel with the wireless AC and obtain configuration from the wireless AC.
[0063] Next, the first AP, AP1, and the second AP establish a wireless link and disconnect the temporary wireless link based on the radio frequency mode and working channel information included in the configuration, as well as the neighbor whitelist.
[0064] In this embodiment of the application, in order to improve the availability of the wireless link, the configuration of the wireless link further includes specifying a second radio frequency mode and a second working channel for establishing a backup wireless link; therefore, the method may further include the following steps:
[0065] Each AP establishes a backup wireless link with its neighboring APs through a second radio frequency mode and a second working channel, based on the configuration of the wireless link and its local neighbor whitelist. The backup wireless links established between the APs constitute the backup wireless link between the first AP and the second AP.
[0066] In practical applications, channels with lower radio frequency can be used as the primary wireless link, while channels with higher radio frequency can be used as backup wireless links.
[0067] In practical applications, the wireless link can be a mesh link. Therefore, the configuration used to establish the wireless link between the first AP and the second AP can be a mesh profile. Specifically, taking the example of no other APs deployed between the target Leaf and the target Access, the AP templates are configured, named MPP1 (first AP) and MPP2 (second AP), respectively bound to a mesh profile, and the radio frequency and channel are selected for them.
[0068] Step 110: Manage the wireless link, and based on the wireless link, perform automated online access for the target Access, and based on the wireless link, determine the downlink port of the target Leaf to which the target Access is connected.
[0069] Specifically, after the target Access establishes a wireless connection with the target Leaf, the target Access can obtain the VLAN1 address through the wireless link and complete the automated management and online process on the controller based on the VLAN1 address. The controller adds a wireless link detection module to obtain the wireless link and the target Leaf interface (the downlink interface connected to the target Access) information.
[0070] Step 120: Configure the downlink port and activate the target Access.
[0071] The controller adds the target Leaf downlink port and activates the target Access (issuing corresponding configurations based on the device role). After the configuration is issued, confirm the inclusion of the target Access under management.
