[0026] The terms "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present application are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0027] First, some technical terms and application scenarios involved in the embodiments of this application are introduced.

[0028] In an office, a large number of network devices are configured. For example, the network devices may include access switches, aggregation switches, core switches, wireless access controllers, wireless access points, and the like.

[0029] A large number of network devices make up the IT network. Figure 1 A network topology diagram of an IT network is shown, in which multiple layers and different types of network devices are included. Among them, the software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) device is connected to the Internet and serves as the entrance to the internal LAN to optimize network traffic and improve network performance. The core switch (CSW) plays a central hub role in the IT network, which is used to connect different types of network devices and exchange data. The firewall (FW) is used to control the traffic in and out of the IT network and protect the security of the internal LAN. The domain name system server (DNSS) is used to resolve network domain names and convert domain names into Internet protocol (IP) addresses. The wireless access controller (WAC) is used to manage wireless access points (APs) and centrally control the configuration and security policies of the wireless network. The distribution switch (DSW) is located in the distribution layer of the IT network, connecting the core layer and the access layer, and is used to route and forward data packets. The access switch (ASW) is located in the access layer of the IT network and directly connects the terminal devices.

[0030] Typically, IT networks can be powered by power over Ethernet (PoE). In PoE technology, data and power are transmitted simultaneously through Ethernet cables, providing power to network devices in the IT network without the need for additional power cables.

[0031] However, the long-term operation of a large number of network devices will consume a lot of electricity, resulting in a certain degree of waste of power resources. By analyzing the power consumption patterns of network devices, it is found that the power supply demand of network devices is similar to ocean tides, with peaks and troughs. When the power supply demand of network devices is at a trough, if the network devices can be managed to achieve energy saving, a large amount of power resources can be saved and a green network can be achieved.

[0032] In view of this, the present application provides a network equipment management method, which first constructs at least one relative position point map based on signal path loss information between multiple wireless APs in a target area, and divides each relative position point map into regions, wherein the relative position point map characterizes the positional relationship of at least some wireless APs in the target area, and the relative position point map after regional division includes at least one sub-region, and the signal acquisition relationship between the wireless APs in each sub-region meets the set conditions, and then, based on the number of terminals connected to the multiple wireless APs, for each relative position point map, determines the classification results of the wireless APs in each sub-region, wherein the classification results include a first category of wireless APs and a second category of wireless APs, the first category of wireless APs are wireless APs that do not perform energy-saving adjustments, and the second category of wireless APs are wireless APs that perform energy-saving adjustments, and the second category of wireless APs are controlled to be turned off.

[0033] In this method, by detecting the neighbors of multiple wireless APs in the target area, a relative position map of the wireless APs is drawn, and multiple sub-areas are formed, and accurate network device management is performed in sub-areas. For each sub-area, the number of terminals connected to the wireless AP is combined to determine the wireless APs that are and are not adjusted for energy saving, and the wireless APs that are adjusted for energy saving are controlled to be turned off. In this way, while ensuring the performance of the IT network, the number of network devices that are turned on is reduced, power resources are saved, and a green network that saves energy and reduces carbon emissions is achieved.

[0034] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for managing network equipment to achieve energy saving is shown, the method specifically comprising:

[0035] S201: construct at least one relative position point map according to signal path loss information between multiple wireless APs in a target area, and divide each relative position point map into regions.

[0036] A wireless AP is a network device used to connect a terminal to a wired network through wireless communication technology (Wi-Fi). For example, a wireless AP can connect terminals such as personal computers (PCs), mobile phones, tablets, and printers to a wired network.

[0037] The target area can be understood as an area where there is a need for network equipment management, for example, the target area can be an office area of ​​a certain enterprise. Considering the convenience of wireless access and the roamability of terminals, a large number of wireless APs can be deployed in the target area. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the wireless APs in the target area are managed to achieve energy saving and carbon reduction.

[0038] In some embodiments, the target area is configured with energy-saving conditions. When the energy-saving conditions are met, the management method of the network device for achieving energy saving provided in the embodiment of the present application is performed to manage the wireless APs in the target area.

[0039] Energy-saving conditions can be understood as conditions that trigger energy saving for wireless APs. For example, the energy-saving condition can be that the current time is in the target time period, and the target time period can be a non-working time period. In this way, the wireless APs in the target area are managed during the non-working time period to achieve energy saving without affecting normal office work.

[0040] Signal path loss information can be understood as the attenuation of the signal during the propagation process. In some embodiments, the signal path loss information can be the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G) radio frequency path loss information, and the signal path loss information can be signal strength, path loss value, etc. In the embodiment of the present application, there is a signal path loss information between every two wireless APs, and the signal path loss information can be used to measure the signal propagation quality between the two wireless APs. In other words, the signal path loss information can be collected by each wireless AP, which is used to characterize the attenuation of the signal propagation between the wireless AP and other wireless APs in the target area.

[0041] Signal path loss information can be used to characterize the distance and position relationship between two wireless APs. Therefore, a relative position point map is constructed based on the signal path loss information between multiple wireless APs. The relative position point map can characterize the position relationship of at least some wireless APs in the target area. In other words, a relative position point map that can characterize the position relationship of multiple wireless APs in the target area is constructed through the signal path loss information between each wireless AP.

[0042] In some possible implementations, the signal path loss information is calculated using a path loss model, such as a three-dimensional (3D) channel model, to obtain the distance between every two wireless APs in the target area. Then, based on the signal strength and path loss value in the signal path loss information, a positioning algorithm is used to determine the positional relationship between each wireless AP in the target area. In this way, each wireless AP in the target area is taken as a node, and a relative position point map is drawn based on the distance between every two wireless APs and the positional relationship between each wireless AP, and the relative position point map is used to reflect the positional relationship of multiple wireless APs in the target area.

[0043] In some embodiments, the vertical areas where multiple wireless APs in the target area are located are first determined. For each vertical area, a relative position positioning map is constructed based on the signal path loss information between the wireless APs in the vertical area to obtain at least one relative position point map, and then each relative position point map is divided into regions.

[0044] The vertical area where the wireless AP is located can be used to characterize the position of the wireless AP in the vertical direction, that is, the wireless APs in the same vertical area belong to the same plane. For example, the vertical area where the wireless AP is located can be the floor to which the wireless AP is deployed. In some possible implementations, the name of each wireless AP can contain information for indicating the vertical area. For example, the name of wireless AP A is "7-1", indicating that wireless AP A is the first wireless AP on the 7th floor, and the name of wireless AP B is "7-2", indicating that wireless AP B is the second wireless AP on the 7th floor. In this way, by parsing the names of multiple wireless APs in the target area, the vertical area where each wireless AP is located is obtained.

[0045] Considering that wireless APs usually only connect to terminals in the same plane, in the process of determining the wireless APs that need to save energy, the wireless APs in different vertical areas can be distinguished, and a relative position point map can be constructed for the wireless APs in each vertical area, that is, one vertical area corresponds to one relative position point map.

[0046] For each relative position point map, the relative position point map is divided into regions according to the signal path loss information between the wireless APs in the relative position point map, so that the relative position point map after the region division includes at least one sub-region, and the signal collection relationship between the wireless APs in each sub-region meets the set conditions.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the area division is performed based on the K-means clustering algorithm, so that the distance between the wireless APs in each sub-area after the area division is as small as possible, and the distance between the wireless APs in different sub-areas is as large as possible.

[0048] Specifically, the signal collection relationship between wireless APs meeting the set conditions can be understood as: in a sub-area, there are a certain number of wireless APs, and other wireless APs in the sub-area can collect signals that meet the conditions from each other.

[0049] In some possible implementations, for each relative position point map, the following steps are performed: determining at least one first wireless AP set in the relative position point map, dividing the relative position point map into regions based on the at least one first wireless AP set, and determining at least one sub-region corresponding to the at least one first wireless AP set.

[0050] Among them, the first wireless AP set includes wireless APs greater than a first number, the signal path loss information between the wireless APs in the first wireless AP set is less than a first threshold, and the signal path loss information between the wireless APs in each sub-area and the corresponding wireless APs in the first wireless AP set is less than the first threshold.

[0051] That is, there is a first wireless AP set in each sub-area, there are a certain number of wireless APs (for example, greater than or equal to 3) in the first wireless AP set, and the signal path loss information between each wireless AP is small (for example, less than 80db), that is, the distance between each wireless AP in the first wireless AP set is short. In addition, in each sub-area, the signal path loss information between other wireless APs except the wireless APs in the first wireless AP set and the wireless APs in the first wireless AP set is also small (for example, less than 80db).

[0052] For example, the first wireless AP set includes wireless AP1, wireless AP2 and wireless AP3, and the signal path loss information between wireless AP1 and wireless AP2, wireless AP1 and wireless AP3, and wireless AP2 and wireless AP3 is less than the first threshold. In this case, the target area also includes wireless AP4, wireless AP5 and wireless AP6, and the signal path loss information between wireless AP4 and wireless AP1, wireless AP4 and wireless AP2, wireless AP4 and wireless AP3, wireless AP5 and wireless AP1, wireless AP5 and wireless AP2, and wireless AP5 and wireless AP3 is also less than the first threshold, then wireless AP4 and wireless AP5 are divided into the same sub-area as wireless AP1, wireless AP2 and wireless AP3. If the signal path loss information between wireless AP6 and wireless AP1 is not less than the first threshold, then wireless AP6 does not belong to the same sub-area as wireless AP1, wireless AP2 and wireless AP3.

[0053] In this way, by dividing the wireless APs in each relative position point map into regions, the wireless APs that are close to each other are divided into the same sub-region, so that energy saving can be performed on some wireless APs in each sub-region in units of sub-regions in the future, avoiding energy saving on multiple adjacent wireless APs, which would cause a signal coverage black hole.

[0054] S202: According to the number of terminals connected to the multiple wireless APs, for each relative position point map, a classification result of the wireless APs in each sub-area is determined.

[0055] The number of terminals connected to a wireless AP can be understood as: the number of terminal devices that have a connection relationship with the wireless AP during the data collection time period, such as smartphones, tablet computers, laptops, smart home devices, wireless sensors, wireless cameras, wearable devices, etc. that have a connection relationship with the wireless AP. In some embodiments, when the energy-saving condition is that the current time is in the target time period, the data collection time period can be a period of time before the target time period. For example, the target time period can be from 22:00 to 7:00, and the data collection time period can be from 21:00 to 22:00. In this way, by collecting the number of terminals connected to each wireless AP during a period of time before the target time period, the wireless AP that needs to be saved in this energy-saving process can be determined, and network equipment management can be performed more accurately to improve energy-saving effects.

[0056] The classification result can be used to indicate whether energy-saving adjustment is required, and the classification result may include a first-class wireless AP and a second-class wireless AP. Among them, the first-class wireless AP is a wireless AP that does not perform energy-saving adjustment, and the second-class wireless AP is a wireless AP that performs energy-saving adjustment. In other words, each wireless AP in each relative position point map is classified to determine the wireless AP that participates in energy saving and the wireless AP that does not participate in energy saving.

[0057] In a specific implementation, the number of terminals connected to multiple wireless APs is obtained, and the wireless APs to which the number of connected terminals is greater than the second number are marked as first-category wireless APs. Then, for each sub-area in each relative position point map, the following steps are performed: the wireless AP with the largest number of connected terminals in the relative position point map and the sub-area is marked as a first-category wireless AP, and the wireless AP with the largest number of connected terminals is used as the central node to determine the classification results of the unmarked wireless APs in the relative position point map and the sub-area.

[0058] Among them, the second number can be understood as the maximum number of terminals connected to the wireless AP that can participate in energy saving. When the number of terminals connected to a wireless AP is greater than the second number, it indicates that the number of terminals connected to the wireless AP is large and it plays an important role in the IT network. If the wireless AP performs energy saving, it will have a greater impact on network performance. Therefore, the wireless AP with a number of terminals connected greater than the second number is marked as a first-class wireless AP that does not perform energy-saving adjustments.

[0059] In some embodiments, an energy saving exemption list may also be set. Specifically, a pre-configured second wireless AP set is obtained, and the second wireless AP set includes wireless APs that do not perform energy saving adjustments. In this case, the number of terminals connected to wireless APs that do not hit the second wireless AP set among multiple wireless APs is obtained.

[0060] That is to say, considering that there are wireless APs that need to continuously provide the network in some business scenarios (such as logistics warehouses, live broadcast environments, etc.), the wireless APs that do not perform energy-saving adjustments are pre-stored by configuring the second wireless AP set. In this way, before classifying each wireless AP in each relative position point map, the wireless APs in the second wireless AP set are excluded, and only the number of terminals connected to the wireless APs outside the second wireless AP set is obtained, ensuring that the wireless APs in the second wireless AP set will not participate in energy saving. At the same time, computing resources are saved and the marking efficiency of wireless APs is improved.

[0061] Next, for each relative position point map, wireless APs are marked in units of sub-areas. The number of terminals connected to each wireless AP in each sub-area is arranged in descending order to determine the wireless AP with the largest number of terminals connected to each sub-area. The wireless AP with the largest number of terminals connected to each sub-area plays an important role in the network connection of the sub-area, and therefore is also marked as the first type of wireless AP that does not perform energy-saving adjustments. The wireless AP with the largest number of terminals connected is used as the central node to mark the unmarked wireless APs in the sub-area to achieve orderly marking.

[0062] In some possible implementations, the wireless AP with the largest number of connected terminals is used as the central node, and the signal path loss information between the relative position point map, the unmarked wireless APs in the sub-area and the central node is determined respectively, and the wireless APs whose signal path loss information between the central node is less than a second threshold are marked as second-category wireless APs. Then, from the relative position point map and the unmarked wireless APs in the sub-area, one wireless AP is selected and marked as a first-category wireless AP, and the selected wireless AP is used as the new central node to mark the relative position point map and the unmarked wireless APs in the sub-area until all the wireless APs in the relative position point map and the sub-area have been marked.

[0063] The signal path loss information between the central node and the wireless AP is less than the second threshold (for example, 80db), which indicates that the distance between the wireless AP and the wireless AP serving as the central node is relatively close. Since the wireless AP serving as the central node is connected to the largest number of terminals and undertakes a large number of network connections, the wireless AP that is relatively close to the wireless AP serving as the central node is marked as a second type of wireless AP for energy-saving adjustment, thereby saving power resources without affecting the normal performance of the IT network.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the process of selecting a central node, marking the central node as a first-class wireless AP, and marking a wireless AP whose signal path loss information with the central node is less than a second threshold as a second-class wireless AP is called a round of marking. After a round of marking is completed in each sub-area, a new central node is selected from the unmarked wireless APs in the sub-area, and the next round of marking is performed with the new central node, and the above marking process is repeated until all wireless APs in each sub-area are marked. By processing the wireless AP marking of each sub-area in parallel, the marking efficiency is improved, and at the same time, marking is performed in units of sub-areas to improve the accuracy of wireless AP marking.

[0065] In some embodiments, after a round of marking is completed in each sub-area, a wireless AP is randomly selected from the unmarked wireless APs in the sub-area and marked as a first-class wireless AP, and the randomly selected wireless AP is used as a new central node for the next round of marking.

[0066] In other embodiments, from the unmarked wireless APs in the relative position point map and the sub-area, the wireless AP with the smallest signal path loss information to the central node is marked as a first-category wireless AP, and the wireless AP with the smallest signal path loss information to the central node is used as the new central node, and the unmarked wireless APs in the relative position point map and the sub-area are marked until all the wireless APs in the relative position point map and the sub-area are marked.

[0067] That is to say, after the Nth round of marking is completed in each sub-area, the wireless AP closest to the central node in the Nth round of marking is selected from the unmarked wireless APs in the sub-area as the central node of the N+1th round of marking, and the N+1th round of marking is performed. If there are two or more wireless APs in the sub-area with the smallest signal path loss information between them and the central node in the Nth round of marking, then a wireless AP is randomly selected from them as the central node of the N+1th round of marking. In this way, for each sub-area, it is ensured that the marking of wireless APs always spreads from the inside to the outside.

[0068] The following is a detailed example. FIG. 3A to FIG. 3DA schematic diagram of a relative position point map is shown, in which a sub-area A in the relative position point map includes multiple wireless APs. FIG. 3A to FIG. 3D A node in corresponds to a wireless AP.

[0069] like Figure 3A In the process of marking the wireless APs in sub-area A, the number of terminals connected to each wireless AP in sub-area A is obtained, and wireless AP1, wireless AP6 and wireless AP7 whose number of connected terminals is greater than the second number are marked as first-category wireless APs (represented by dark gray in the figure).

[0070] like Figure 3B In the first round of marking, the wireless AP with the largest number of terminals connected in sub-area A is wireless AP7. Wireless AP7 is used as the central node of the first round of marking, and wireless AP2, wireless AP3, wireless AP16, wireless AP17, wireless AP18, wireless AP19 and wireless AP32 whose signal path loss information with wireless AP7 is less than the second threshold are marked as second-class wireless APs (indicated in light gray in the figure), completing the first round of marking.

[0071] In the second round of marking, from the unmarked wireless APs in sub-area A, the wireless AP4 with the smallest signal path loss information between it and the central node marked in the first round is selected as the new central node, and the wireless AP4 is marked as the first type of wireless AP, and the unmarked wireless APs in the sub-area A are marked. The result of the second round of marking is as follows: Figure 3C shown.

[0072] Repeat the above marking process until all wireless APs in sub-area A are marked. The final marking result is as follows: Figure 3D As shown, the wireless APs in the sub-area A are all marked as first-category wireless APs or second-category wireless APs.

[0073] Based on the above content, it can be known that in the process of classifying the wireless APs in each sub-area of ​​each relative position point map and determining the wireless APs that participate in energy saving and the wireless APs that do not participate in energy saving, the number of wireless APs marked as the second category (i.e., the wireless APs that participate in energy saving) is related to the second threshold and the second number. The smaller the second threshold, the fewer the number of second category wireless APs, the larger the second threshold, the larger the number of second category wireless APs, the larger the second number, the larger the number of second category wireless APs, and the smaller the second number, the smaller the number of second category wireless APs. In actual applications, the second threshold and the second number can be configured based on energy saving requirements.

[0074] S203: Control the second type of wireless AP to shut down.

[0075] The second type of wireless AP is a wireless AP that performs energy-saving adjustments. Therefore, the second type of wireless AP is controlled to be shut down, so that the number of wireless APs running in the IT network is reduced, while maintaining normal IT network performance, thereby achieving energy saving and carbon reduction.

[0076] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the method for controlling the shutdown of the second-class wireless AP. For example, the switch port corresponding to the second-class wireless AP can be determined based on the link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) information of the second-class wireless AP, and then the controller can be controlled to stop supplying power to the above-mentioned switch port, so that the second-class wireless AP is shut down.

[0077] Furthermore, in response to not meeting the energy-saving condition, the second type of wireless AP is controlled to be turned on, which does not affect the normal operation of the IT network and normal office work.

[0078] In addition, the embodiment of the present application also supports dynamic awakening of wireless APs during energy saving. Specifically, the number of terminals connected to the first type of wireless AP is continuously detected, and in response to the number of terminals connected to the first wireless AP in the first type of wireless AP being greater than a third threshold, based on the signal path loss information between the wireless APs in the second type of wireless AP and the first wireless AP, the wireless AP in the second type of wireless AP with the smallest signal path loss information with the first wireless AP is determined as the second wireless AP, and the second wireless AP is controlled to be turned on.

[0079] That is to say, during the energy-saving process, the number of terminals connected to the normally working first-class wireless AP is still continuously detected. When the number of terminals connected to a certain wireless AP (i.e., the first wireless AP) is too large (for example, greater than 40), it indicates that the network connection burden of the wireless AP is too heavy. In this case, the wireless AP closest to the wireless AP and in the energy-saving state is awakened to dynamically improve the wireless network performance.

[0080] In this method, by detecting the neighbors of multiple wireless APs in the target area, a relative position map of the wireless APs is drawn, and multiple sub-areas are formed, and accurate network device management is performed in sub-areas. For each sub-area, the number of terminals connected to the wireless AP is combined to determine the wireless APs that are and are not adjusted for energy saving, and the wireless APs that are adjusted for energy saving are controlled to be turned off. In this way, while ensuring the performance of the IT network, the number of network devices that are turned on is reduced, power resources are saved, and a green network that saves energy and reduces carbon emissions is achieved.

[0081] The foregoing describes a method for managing wireless APs in a network device. In some embodiments, management may also be performed on aggregation switches in the network device.

[0082] In a specific implementation, at least part of the aggregation switches deployed in multiple computer rooms in the target area are controlled to sleep.

[0083] Since the aggregation switch in the IT network usually plays the role of converging the number of interfaces and connecting the upstream and downstream networks, considering the redundancy of the IT network, the aggregation switch is usually deployed in pairs in each computer room, that is, two aggregation switches are deployed in a computer room in the target area, running the stacking or multi-chassis link aggregation group (MLAG) protocol. Running only one aggregation switch in a computer room can also ensure the normal operation of the IT network. Therefore, when the energy-saving conditions are met, at least some of the aggregation switches are controlled to sleep, so as to achieve energy saving and carbon reduction without affecting the operation of the IT network.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, the aggregation switch should support deep sleep, and when the aggregation switch is in deep sleep, it still maintains communication with the controller. In this way, when the energy-saving conditions are met, the controller sends a sleep instruction to at least some of the aggregation switches, so that at least some of the aggregation switches consume only the minimum power consumption, saving power resources.

[0085] Similarly, if the target area is configured with energy-saving conditions, when the energy-saving conditions are met, the management method of the network device for achieving energy saving provided in the embodiment of the present application is performed to manage the aggregation switch in the target area.

[0086] In some possible implementations, a pre-configured first aggregation switch set and a pre-configured second aggregation switch set are obtained, and the aggregation switches in the first aggregation switch set are controlled to sleep.

[0087] The two aggregation switches deployed in one computer room belong to the first aggregation switch set and the second aggregation switch set respectively. In other words, the first aggregation switch set for energy saving adjustment and the second aggregation switch set for non-energy saving adjustment are pre-configured, and the two aggregation switches in one computer room are respectively configured in the two aggregation switch sets. In this way, by controlling the aggregation switches in the first aggregation switch set to sleep, it is ensured that only one aggregation switch in one computer room is in sleep mode, and the other aggregation switch works normally, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the IT network.

[0088] In addition, before controlling the aggregation switches in the first aggregation switch set to sleep, first operation information can be obtained according to the operation status of the aggregation switches in the first aggregation switch set at the current time, and in response to not meeting the energy-saving condition, the aggregation switches in the first aggregation switch set are controlled to wake up, and second operation information is obtained according to the operation status of the aggregation switches in the first aggregation switch set at the current time, and in response to the first operation information being different from the second operation information, an alarm information is sent.

[0089] The first operation information or the second operation information may represent the operation status of the aggregation switch. For example, the first operation information or the second operation information may include stacking status information / MLAG status information, interface information, routing information, etc. By collecting the first operation information before controlling the aggregation switch to sleep, and collecting the second operation information after controlling the aggregation switch to wake up, comparing the first operation information and the second operation information, determining whether the first operation information is consistent with the second operation information, and generating an alarm when there is an abnormality in the operation information. In this way, the operation status of the aggregation switch is ensured to be consistent before and after energy saving, avoiding abnormal operation of the IT network.
