Solution Overview

Problem

Current communication systems require manual configuration of transmission-related parameters, such as VLAN interface information and IP addresses, which is complex and inefficient, especially when links need to be adjusted.

Innovation Solution

A method for network devices to automatically generate transmission-related configuration parameters by creating virtual local area network interfaces and addresses based on received packets, using protocols like LLDP and DHCP, without manual intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual configuration of transmission parameters is used, then configuration accuracy can be ensured, but operation complexity increases and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelink establishment efficiencyVSAvoidconfiguration operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network device automatically generates transmission parameters including VLAN interface information and IP addresses through self-service mechanisms. The device receives packets, creates virtual local area network interfaces, and generates address information without requiring manual configuration by operation and maintenance personnel, thereby improving efficiency while maintaining accuracy through automated self-configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of time

If manual configuration is used for link adjustments, then configuration control is precise, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelink adjustment timeVSAvoidconfiguration automation level
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring the device with automated parameter generation capabilities. When a link adjustment is needed, the device can immediately generate new configuration parameters automatically without waiting for manual intervention, thus reducing link adjustment time while maintaining precise control through the automated generation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If automated parameter generation is implemented, then operation complexity is reduced, but configuration precision may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration operation easeVSAvoidparameter configuration precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The automated parameter generation process incorporates feedback mechanisms where the network device receives packets containing configuration information, processes this information to generate VLAN interface information and address information, and can adjust parameters based on received feedback from the network environment. This ensures that automated generation maintains configuration precision while improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

This application provides a link establishment method, an apparatus, and a storage medium. The method includes: a second device receives a first packet, and creates virtual local area network interface information based on the first packet; and the second device generates address information of the second device, and sends first information to a first device, where the first information corresponds to the virtual local area network interface information, and the first information is used to generate first address information of the first device, or the first information includes the first address information. In the foregoing solution, the address information of the device does not need to be manually configured, so that the device automatically configures the virtual local area network interface information, providing data support for link establishment.
