[0058] In order to solve the problems of high networking cost, low networking reliability and low networking applicability, the embodiments of the present application provide a networking control method, device, electronic device and storage medium.

[0059] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings in the specification. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. In addition, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other if there is no conflict.

[0060] First reference Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the networking control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, network devices in the same virtual local area network (English: Virtual Local Area Network, abbreviated as VLAN) or the same wireless local area network (English: Wireless Local Area Network, abbreviated as WLAN) can perform cross-device self-organizing networking, Figure 1The application scenario shown includes a self-organizing network 10 and a cloud server 11. The network devices in the self-organizing network 10 are in the same VLAN or in the same WLAN. The network devices may include but are not limited to one or more of the following devices: gateways, switches, routers, firewalls, ACs, APs, E-Gateway (English: E-Gateway, abbreviated as EG) and other devices. Each network device elects a master network device 101 and each slave network device 102 according to their corresponding role priorities, wherein the role priority represents the priority of the role election, and the role priority of the master network device 101 is higher than the role priority of each slave network device 102 After the master network device 101 and the slave network device 102 are selected, the master network device 101 generates a TIPC address as its own address, receives the address allocation request sent by each slave network device 102, allocates a corresponding TIPC address to each slave network device 102, and sends the TIPC address allocated to each slave network device 102 to the corresponding slave network device 102. Then, the master network device 101 and each slave network device 102 can communicate without an IP address through a preset private communication protocol, wherein the preset private communication protocol is an inter-device communication protocol (English: Inter-Device The cross-device communication protocol supports cross-device communication between network devices. The message using the cross-device protocol has a specific header, which can prevent irrelevant services between different VLANs or WLANs from perceiving the self-organizing network message. The message header of the cross-device protocol is used to encapsulate the TIPC message when transmitting the service data message between network devices in the self-organizing network. After receiving the TIPC message encapsulated with the IDCP header, the receiver can perform IDCP decapsulation to extract the TIPC message. The structure of the IDCP header can be set according to the needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. Furthermore, after the main network device 101 establishes a communication connection with the cloud server 11, the main network device 101 sends the TIPC address information of the main network device 101 itself and the TIPC address information of each slave network device 102 to the cloud server 11. The cloud server 11 records the TIPC address information of the main network device 101 and the TIPC address of each slave network device 102, and centrally performs unified configuration management on the main network device 101 and the slave network device 102. In the embodiment of the present application, a network device may also be elected as a backup master network device 101 ′ corresponding to the master network device 101 , and the backup master network device 101 ′ is used to back up the data stored in the master network device 101 .

[0061] Based on the above application scenarios, the following will refer to the attached Figures 2 to 4The exemplary embodiments of the present application are described in more detail. It should be noted that the above application scenarios are only shown to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principle of the present application, and the implementation of the present application is not limited in any way. On the contrary, the implementation of the present application can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the implementation flow of the networking control method provided in the embodiment of the present application. The networking control method may include the following steps:

[0063] S21. The master network device receives an address allocation request sent by the slave network device.

[0064] Among them, the master network device and the slave network device are elected according to their corresponding role priorities. Different types of network devices correspond to different preset role priorities. The role priorities of network devices of the same type are determined according to their respective hardware resource capabilities and software resource information.

[0065] During specific implementation, for different types of network devices, the role priorities corresponding to different types of network devices can be pre-set. For example, it can be set as follows: the preset role priority of the gateway > the preset role priority of the switch > the preset role priority of the router > the preset role priority of the router > the preset role priority of the firewall > the preset role priority of the AC > the preset role priority of the AP > the preset role priority of the EG. During implementation, it can be set according to the needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. For the same type of network devices, the network device can determine its role priority based on its own hardware resource capability information and current software resource information, where the hardware resource capability information of the network device can include but is not limited to: memory size, device model and other indicators, and the software resource information can include but is not limited to: memory occupancy, CPU occupancy and other indicators.

[0066] During implementation, after the network device is powered on, it can multicast and send capability notification information according to a preset private communication protocol, i.e., a cross-device communication protocol. The capability notification information includes a preset role priority of the network device and a role priority determined based on its own hardware resource capability information and current software resource information. When a network device receives capability notification information sent by any other network device, it first compares its own preset role priority with the preset role priorities of other network devices. If it is determined that its own preset role priority is higher than the preset role priorities of other network devices, it continues to send capability notification information; if it is determined that its own preset role priority is the same as the preset role priorities of other network devices, it continues to compare the role priority determined based on its own hardware resource capability information and current software resource information with the role priority determined by other network devices based on their own hardware resource capability information and current software resource information. If it is determined that the role priority determined based on its own hardware resource capability information and current software resource information is higher than the role priority determined by other network devices based on their own hardware resource capability information and current software resource information, it continues to send capability notification information; if it is determined that the role priority determined based on its own hardware resource capability information and current software resource information is lower than the role priority determined by other network devices based on their own hardware resource capability information and current software resource information, the network device remains silent and no longer sends capability notification information; if it is determined that its own preset role priority is lower than the preset role priority of other network devices, the network device remains silent and no longer sends capability notification information. In this way, when the network device itself keeps sending capability announcement information and does not receive capability announcement information sent by any other network device within the preset time, it can be determined that the role priority of the network device is the highest. The network device can be elected as the main network device, and other network devices can be elected as slave network devices.

[0067] In one implementation, after the election of the master network device and the slave network device is completed, the master network device may also designate a slave network device among the slave network devices as a backup master network device. For example, it may be possible but not limited to designating a slave network device with the highest role priority as a backup master network device. The backup master network device is used to back up the data stored in the master network device. In this way, when the master network device abnormally goes offline, the backup master network device can automatically switch to the master network device, thereby ensuring that the business is not interrupted.

[0068] In one implementation, the primary network device may also be specified by the user, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0069] Furthermore, the master network device generates a TIPC address as its own communication address, and a timed keep-alive mechanism is used between the master network device and each slave network device to monitor in real time whether there is any abnormality in the communication link between the master network device and each slave network device.

[0070] The master network device and the slave network device in the same VLAN or WLAN can exchange data through a preset private communication protocol, that is, a cross-device communication protocol. The slave network device sends an address allocation request to the master network device through a preset private communication protocol, that is, a cross-device communication protocol, to request the master network device to allocate a TIPC address for it as a communication address. In this way, communication without an IP address can be achieved between the master network device and the slave network device.

[0071] S22. The master network device sends the TIPC address information allocated to the slave network device to the slave network device.

[0072] In specific implementation, for each slave network device, when the master network device receives an address allocation request sent by the slave network device, it allocates a TIPC address to the slave network device and sends the TIPC address to the slave network device via a preset private communication protocol, namely, a cross-device communication protocol.

[0073] S23. The master network device sends its own TIPC address information and the TIPC address information of each slave network device to the cloud server based on the communication connection established with the cloud server, so that the cloud server performs configuration management on the master network device and each slave network device.

[0074] During specific implementation, the main network device can, but is not limited to, establish a communication connection with the cloud server through the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and send the TIPC address information of the main network device and the TIPC address information of each slave network device to the cloud server. It can also establish a communication connection with the cloud server by scanning the QR code of the main network device for communication connection, and send the TIPC address information of the main network device and the TIPC address information of each slave network device to the cloud server. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0075] After receiving the TIPC address information of the master network device and the TIPC address information of each slave network device sent by the master network device, the cloud server sets a local network identity (English: Local Network Identity Document, abbreviated as lnid) for the master network device. The local network identity is used to uniquely identify the ad hoc network to which the master network device belongs, and records the corresponding relationship between the local network identity and the TIPC of the master network device and the TIPC of the slave network device. The cloud server sends the local network identity information to the master network device. The cloud server can set different local network identities for different master network devices.

[0076] The master network device receives the local network identity information sent by the cloud server, and multicasts and sends out domain synchronization information through the cross-device communication protocol according to the first preset time period. The domain synchronization information includes the local network identity information and the IP address information of the cloud server, so as to synchronize the local network identity information and the IP address information of the cloud server with each slave network device. After each slave network device receives the intra-domain synchronization information, it stores the local network identity information and the IP address information of the cloud server locally. The first preset time period can be set according to needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this. After each slave network device receives the local network identity information of the self-organizing network to which it belongs and the IP address information of the cloud server, it can be networked with other slave network devices and the master network device in the current VLAN or WLAN according to the local network identity information, and can communicate and connect with the cloud server according to the IP address information of the cloud server. Then, the cloud server performs centralized and unified configuration management of the master network device and each slave network device, thereby realizing communication connection with the cloud server through a master network device, and connecting all network devices in the entire self-organizing network to the cloud server. The cloud server performs centralized and unified configuration management of all network devices in the entire self-organizing network.

[0077] Network devices in the same VLAN or WLAN can exchange data in a multicast manner through a cross-device communication protocol. A VLAN or WLAN may include multiple self-organizing networks. The main network device can send a neighbor request to the main network device in the adjacent self-organizing network according to a second preset time period to request information of each network device in the adjacent self-organizing network, thereby sensing other self-organizing networks in the same VLAN or WLAN. The second preset time period can be set according to demand, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0078] During specific implementation, the master network device multicasts neighbor request information through a cross-device communication protocol. If the master network device in an adjacent self-organizing network receives the neighbor request information, the locally stored information of each network device in the adjacent self-organizing network is returned to the master network device, namely, the master network device information and the slave network device information. The network device information in the adjacent self-organizing network may include, but is not limited to, at least one or more of the following information: TIPC address information of all network devices in the adjacent self-organizing network, physical address (English: Media Access Control Address, abbreviated as MAC), role (i.e., master network device or slave network device), serial number (English: Serial Number, abbreviated as SN), device model, software version and other information. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0079] After receiving the information of each network device in the adjacent ad hoc network sent by the master network device in the adjacent ad hoc network, the master network device may also share the information of all network devices in the ad hoc network to which it belongs with the master network device in the adjacent ad hoc network.

[0080] The same VLAN or WLAN may also include thin APs that are centrally configured and managed by a hard AC using a CAPWAP tunnel. When the main network device multicasts and sends out intra-domain synchronization information, if it is determined that the thin AP has received the intra-domain synchronization information, the thin AP can be identified as a slave network device, and the thin AP can be instructed to connect to the cloud server. The corresponding TIPC address is assigned to the thin AP so that the thin AP joins the self-organizing network to which the main network device belongs. The main network device sends the TIPC address of the newly added AP to the cloud server, thereby switching the thin AP to a cloud AP for configuration management by the cloud server.

[0081] In one implementation, if it is determined that the master network device is offline, the master network device may be re-elected according to the role priorities corresponding to each slave network device.

[0082] In specific implementation, if it is determined that all slave network devices in an ad hoc network have timed out from keeping alive the master network device, it can be determined that the master network device has been abnormally disconnected or has been shut down and disconnected, then all slave network devices can re-elect the master network device. The election method has been described in detail before and will not be repeated here.

[0083] In one implementation, if it is determined that the master network device is offline, the backup master network device may also switch to the master network device, and designate a slave network device with a high role priority from all slave network devices as the new backup master network device.

[0084] After the ad hoc network is established, data packets can be transmitted between network devices in the ad hoc network. The following introduces the data transmission process between different network devices.

[0085] The first network device periodically sends a detection message, the detection message is used to discover other network devices, the detection message is an IDCP message, and the detection message carries the port information and MAC address information of the first network device.

[0086] Among them, each network device pre-sets a message receiving module to intercept IDCP messages and sends them to a central processing unit (CPU) for processing. The port information of the first network device may include but is not limited to at least one of the following information: a switch port identity (Switch Identity Document, Switch ID), a slot number (Slot Identity Document, Slot ID, which is a wired port number), and a sub-slot number (Sub-Slot Identity Document, Sub-Slot ID) of the first network device.

[0087] If the second network device receives the detection message sent by the first network device, it returns a response message to the first network device, and the response message carries the port information and MAC address information of the second network device.

[0088] The response message is an IDCP message, and the port information of the second network device may include but is not limited to at least one of the following information: Switch ID, Slot ID, and Sub-Slot ID of the second network device.

[0089] In specific implementation, the second network device receives the detection message sent by the first network, parses the port information and MAC address information of the first network device, and stores the correspondence between the port information and MAC address information of the first network device in a database for subsequent table lookup when forwarding business messages.

[0090] After the first network device receives the response message returned by the second network device, it parses the port information and MAC address information of the second network message from the response message, and stores the correspondence between the port information and MAC address information of the second network device in the database for subsequent table lookup when forwarding business messages.

[0091] In this way, the first network device and the second network device can share their port information and MAC address information.

[0092] When a service message is forwarded between the first network device and the second network device through the TIPC protocol, the sender (assuming it is the first network device) performs IDCP encapsulation on the service message to be forwarded at the forwarding adaptation layer, that is, encapsulates the TIPC message with an IDCP protocol header, and then forwards the IDCP-encapsulated TIPC message to the receiver (assuming it is the second network device).

[0093] When the second network device receives the IDCP-encapsulated TIPC message sent by the first network device, it first decapsulates the IDCP at the forwarding adaptation layer, then parses the TIPC message, searches for the target port information corresponding to the target MAC address from the correspondence between the stored network device and port information, and forwards the TIPC message to the network device corresponding to the target port.

[0094] The networking control method, device, electronic device and storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application select a master network device and a slave network device according to the role priority corresponding to each network device, the master network device receives the address allocation request sent by each slave network device, allocates a TIPC address to each slave network device respectively, and sends the TIPC address allocated to each slave network device to each slave network device, the master network device establishes a communication connection with the cloud server, and sends its own TIPC address information and the TIPC address information of each slave network device to the cloud server, so that the cloud server performs configuration management on the master network device and each slave network device, thereby realizing cross-device access. It is self-organizing and easy to deploy. It no longer relies on AC to perform unified and centralized configuration management of APs. After the main network device establishes a communication connection with the cloud server, the main network device can send the TIPC address information of the main network device and the TIPC address information of each slave network device to the cloud server. The cloud server can realize unified configuration management of the main network device and each slave network device based on the TIPC address information of the main network device and the TIPC address information of each slave network device, without the need for each network device to actively establish a communication connection with the cloud server respectively. Therefore, while reducing the networking cost, it improves the networking reliability and the applicability of the networking method.

[0095] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application also provides a networking control device. Since the principle of solving the problem by the above-mentioned networking control device is similar to that of the above-mentioned networking control method, the implementation of the above-mentioned device can refer to the implementation of the method, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0099] The second sending unit 33 is used to send its own TIPC address information and the TIPC address information of each slave network device to the cloud server based on the communication connection established with the cloud server, so that the cloud server can configure and manage the master network device and the slave network devices.
