Description

Technical Field

[0001] This specification relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to ad hoc network configuration methods, devices, electronic equipment and media. Background Technology

[0002] With increasingly intelligent network architectures, self-organizing networks have emerged. In a self-organizing network, one network device acts as the management device, overseeing all other network devices. However, if the management device fails, the entire network will need to compete for and elect a new management device. If the network devices under the current management device belong to different independent branches, multiple management devices will exist. When the original management device recovers, the network will have multiple management devices simultaneously, requiring another round of competition for election. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this specification. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this specification as detailed in the appended claims.

[0019] The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this specification. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” as used in this specification and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0020] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in this specification to describe various information, this 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 specification, 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" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination."

[0021] The embodiments described in this specification will now be described in detail.

[0022] The following combination Figure 1 The system architecture of the self-organizing network configuration method and apparatus applicable to the embodiments of this specification will be described. It should be noted that... Figure 1 The examples shown are merely examples of system architectures that can be applied to the embodiments of this specification, in order to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of this specification, but do not mean that the embodiments of this specification cannot be used in other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a system architecture illustrated in this specification according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture may include, for example, an AC (Access Controller), a switch, and an AP (Access Point).

[0025] For example, in this embodiment, the AC, switch, and AP can form a self-organizing network. The self-organizing network can be, for example, a SmartMC network. The AC has the highest priority in the self-organizing network. If an AC exists in the network, the AC will compete to become the management device (Topology master, TM), while the switch and AP become member devices (Topology client, TC).

[0026] After the AC completes startup, the default address for VLAN 1 is automatically obtained, so the AC attempts to obtain an address. If there is no DHCP server in the network (other devices will not provide a DHCP server after a factory reset), the AC will not be able to obtain an address. According to the system configuration, the AC assigns an initial IP address to VLAN 1: 192.168.0.100 / 24, and the AC, acting as a DHCP server, provides addresses in this network segment to other devices. After the AP obtains an address from this address pool, it successfully connects to VLAN 1.

[0027] The self-organizing network configuration method provided in the embodiments of this specification will be described in detail below. For example... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a self-organizing network configuration method according to an exemplary embodiment of this specification. The self-organizing network configuration method provided in the embodiments of this specification may include the following steps.

[0028] In step 210, the management device determines the first member device that is adjacent to the management device among multiple member devices.

[0029] According to embodiments of this specification, a member device may send a first Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) message to a neighboring device.

[0030] For each of the multiple member devices, if the management device receives the first LLDP message sent by that member device, then that member device is determined as the first member device. It is understood that there can be one or more first member devices.

[0031] In step 220, the management device sends a first setting message to the first member device, which is used to set the first member device to the first level.

[0032] In step 230, after the first member device receives the first setting message sent by the management device, it sets itself to the first level according to the first setting message.

[0033] Optionally, the first setup message may include a second LLDP message. The first level identifier can be sent to the first member device via the second LLDP message.

[0034] After receiving the second LLDP message sent by the management device, the first member device can set the member device to the first level according to the first level identifier.

[0035] In step 240, the first member device sends the first adjacency information to the management device. The first adjacency information is used to indicate the adjacent devices of the member device.

[0036] According to an embodiment of this specification, the first member device can discover neighboring devices through LLDP and obtain first adjacency information.

[0037] In step 250, after the management device receives the first adjacency information sent by the first member device, it determines the second member device among the multiple member devices that matches the first adjacency information.

[0038] According to an embodiment of this specification, based on first adjacency information, the management device can determine a second member device among a plurality of member devices that is adjacent to the first member device.

[0039] In step 260, the management device sends a second setting message to the first member device, which is used to set the second member device to the second level.

[0040] In step 270, the first member device sets the second member device indicated by the second setting message to the second level.

[0041] In step 280, if the first member device detects a management device failure, it will be managed as a second-level member device.

[0042] According to embodiments of this specification, in the event of a management device failure, each first member device can manage the corresponding second-level member devices to avoid re-election of a management device. For example, the management device and member devices can detect each other's existence through SmartMC broadcast messages and response messages, respectively. Based on this, in the event of a management device failure, the first member device can periodically send SmartMC broadcast messages to the second-level member devices. Upon receiving the SmartMC broadcast messages, the second-level member devices assume that the management device still exists and will not re-elect a management device. Correspondingly, the response messages sent by the second-level member devices to the management device can be received and processed by the first member device.

[0043] In related technologies, if the network devices under the current management device belong to different independent branches, multiple management device roles will emerge. When the original management device is restored, multiple management devices will coexist on the network, and a new competition for election will begin.

[0044] According to the embodiments of this specification, after a management device fails, the second-level member device can be managed by the first-level member device without re-electing a management device. This avoids the situation where multiple management devices exist in the network at the same time after the original management device recovers, which would require a re-election.

[0045] Optionally, a predetermined time period can be set. Within the predetermined time period after a management device failure, the first member device will be managed by the corresponding second-level member device. After the predetermined time period has expired, each member device can then initiate a re-election of the management device.

[0046] According to the embodiments of this specification, if the first member device detects that the management device has recovered from a fault, it can cancel its management and re-entrust the management device with its management.

[0047] Optionally, in addition to the first and second levels, more levels can be set, such as a third level. For the second member device, if both the management device and the first member device are detected to be faulty, messages sent by the third-level member device are managed. For example, the third-level member device can be a member device in the ad hoc network other than the first and second member devices.

[0048] If a second member device detects that the first member device has recovered from a fault, it cancels its inclusion in the management system and is then included in the management system by the first member device. If a second member device detects that the management device has recovered from a fault, it cancels its inclusion in the management system and is then re-included in the management system.

[0049] Optionally, when the management device detects a change in address, it can instruct member devices to change their IP addresses level by level.

[0050] For example, if the management device detects an address change, it can send an address change message to the first-level member devices. If the first member device receives the address change message from the management device, it re-acquires an IP address based on the message and then sends an address change message to the second-level member devices. If the second member device receives the address change message from the first member device, it re-acquires an IP address based on the message and then sends an address change message to the third-level member devices.

[0051] by Figure 1 Taking the system architecture as an example. When the address of VLAN 1 conflicts with the WAN address, address backoff can be implemented for VLAN 1. This involves modifying the address of VLAN 1 and simultaneously modifying the address pool that provides the address. After the modification, the TC device that previously obtained the address will be unable to communicate with the TM. If the address pool lease is for one day, the next time the TC re-applies for an address, it will be subject to a half-life period before being included in the management system. This will cause the entire network to experience a half-day outage.

[0052] According to the embodiments in this specification, when the management device detects a change in address, it can instruct member devices to change their IP addresses level by level. This avoids the problem of network paralysis caused by member devices failing to detect changes in the management device's address in a timely manner.

[0053] The ad hoc network configuration method is described below with reference to another exemplary embodiment. Based on the foregoing embodiments, the method may include the following steps: Once the network is connected, all TCs obtain IP addresses in the same network segment as the TM and are managed by the TM, thus completing the initial stage of self-organizing the network.

[0054] The TM obtains adjacency information through the LLDP protocol to determine the adjacent TCs and sets them as first-level. LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is an open standard protocol used for exchanging connectivity information between network devices. Defined by the IEEE 802.1AB standard, it helps network devices automatically discover and identify their directly connected neighbor devices, as well as network topology information between devices. LLDP supports the TLV (Type-Length-Value) format and can be extended to support additional information types.

[0055] The TM can inform the first-level TC (i.e., the first TC) of its TC level by carrying the TC level in the LLDP message's extensible field. After receiving the LLDP message, the first TC sets itself as the first level, obtains adjacency information through the LLDP protocol, and then informs the TM of the obtained adjacency information through the ad hoc network channel.

[0056] Based on the adjacency information of the first TC, the TM identifies whether the adjacent device of the first TC is a TC under management. If so, the TM sets the device to the second level in the table and informs the first TC.

[0057] The first TC locally stores the second-level TC and informs the second-level TC that it is the second level.

[0058] Other TCs besides the first-level TC and the second-level TC can be third-level TCs, which will be recorded by the second-level TC and informed by the second-level TC that they are third-level.

[0059] If the TM fails, the first-level TC will take over and process all messages. If both the first-level TC and the TM fail, the second-level TC will take over and process all messages. Understandably, if other levels are set up, this process will continue, managing messages sequentially according to their level.

[0060] When any level of TC is managed, elections are not allowed within the ad hoc network for a predetermined period of time, and each TC performs its own function. If the TM and higher-level TCs cannot recover after the predetermined period, the remaining TCs initiate a process to re-elect the TM, or the user can manually initiate the process to re-elect the TM.

[0061] According to the embodiments in this specification, when the TM fails, the TC is temporarily managed by the highest-level TC in the ad hoc network and does not perform TM probe operations, thus avoiding a large-scale network probe traffic surge.

[0062] If the VLAN address and address pool change due to reasons such as LAN and WAN address conflicts, the TC and TM will lose contact. Therefore, the TM can send an LLDP adjacency message to the first-level TC using the saved TC level, informing the TC of the address change through the TLV custom field in the message. Upon receiving this message, the first-level TC initiates an address relearning process and then sends the address change message to the TCs at lower levels, causing them to initiate their own address relearning processes and preventing them from launching probes after losing connection to the TM due to address changes.
