Description

Method and device for accessing node to network, electronic equipment and storage medium

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of network technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for accessing a node in a network to the network, an electronic device, and a storage medium.

Background

In some networks, such as wireless Mesh (WiFi Mesh) networks, the network includes a plurality of nodes, which may be interconnected, wherein the nodes may be gateways, routers, and the like. A plurality of nodes in the WiFi Mesh networking can work under the same two-layer network simultaneously, WiFi signal coverage in a large range can be achieved, and terminal equipment accessed to the network can be switched among the nodes seamlessly.

When a new node needs to be accessed into the network, the new node is only required to be connected with one of the nodes which are already accessed into the network, and the new node can be successfully added into the network. For example, a new AP may join a WiFi Mesh network through a variety of media such as network cable, WiFi, power line, and so on. When a new AP joins the WiFi Mesh network, the validity of the new AP needing to be joined is generally not checked. Taking the network cable as an example, as long as the new AP is connected with the router or AP already added to the network through the network cable, the new AP can successfully add to the WiFi Mesh network to become a part of the WiFi Mesh network, so that the method has a greater security risk.

Detailed Description

When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a node access network is shown.

In this embodiment, the controller having access to the predetermined network and the second network node are included, and the second network node and the controller form the predetermined network, for example, a Mesh network. The controller is a master router, and the master router is connected with an external network, for example, the master router accesses the internet through a wide area network interface (WAN interface). The controller may be a router, an AP, or the like, in this embodiment, the controller is used as a main router, and is also a control node (controller) of the preset network, and may control other nodes to access the preset network. The second network node (agent) may be an AP or a slave router (denoted as AP1 in the figure), and the second network node is connected to the controller through a local area network interface (LAN interface) of the controller, and forms the preset network with the controller, so as to provide network services for the user terminal together.

When a new node (agent) accesses the preset network, the new node can be connected with the controller through the LAN interface of the controller, so that the preset network can be accessed, and the new node is used as a first network node, for example, a new AP. Of course, the first network node may also be connected to the second network node, and the new AP may successfully access the predetermined network only after being physically connected to any router or AP (the main router or AP1 in fig. 1) in the predetermined network, and may become a part of the predetermined network.

The network access mode has great potential safety hazard, personnel who intentionally acquire the privacy information of the user can easily join the network of the user through the mode, and the network information of the user can be automatically transmitted to nodes used by the personnel, so that the leakage of the user information is easily caused.

Referring to fig. 2, a timing chart of a method for a node in a network to access a network provided in the present technical solution is applied to a first device, and the method includes the following steps:

step S100, receiving a network access message sent by a controller accessed to a preset network, wherein the network access message comprises: and accessing the network to a first network node of a preset network.

Step S200, determining whether to allow the first network node to access a preset network based on the input operation of the user operation interface.

Step S300, after the first network node is determined to be allowed to access the preset network, a network access authorization instruction is sent to the controller; the network access authorization instruction is used for indicating that the first network node is allowed to access a preset network.

The first device may be a user equipment such as a mobile terminal or a fixed terminal. The user equipment can comprise a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, vehicle-mounted central control equipment, wearable equipment, intelligent equipment and the like, and the intelligent equipment can comprise intelligent office equipment, intelligent household equipment and the like.

In this embodiment, the default network may be a local area network, which includes, but is not limited to, a Mesh (Mesh) network (i.e., a multi-hop network) or a wireless network with multiple stages of devices connected to a central point, and the Mesh network includes a plurality of network nodes that have access to the Mesh network. The Mesh network may comprise a WiFi Mesh network.

The first network node may be a node to be accessed to the predetermined network, and the controller may be a node that has been accessed to the predetermined network.

The plurality of network nodes can select one network node as a controller in a preset time period through a preset selection mechanism, and the controller can also be a fixed network node in nodes accessed to a preset network.

The controller may be a control node that controls the first network node to join the preset network, and in the preset network, the control node may provide a network service by controlling whether a node to be accessed to the network can join the preset network.

The first network node may be a wireless Access Point (AP) or a router to be accessed, and the controller may be a node controlling the wireless Access Point (AP) or the router in a preset network. There may be one controller and at least one second network node in the pre-defined network.

In another embodiment of the present application, the controller may also have the function of the first network node when the controller plays a role of a to-be-accessed preset network. And when the controller is converted from the controller into a first network node to access the preset network, executing the steps required to be executed by the first network node. The first network node may also have the function of a controller when it is in the role of the accessed default network. After the first network node accesses the preset network, the first network node can be used as a controller to execute the steps required to be executed by the controller.

The method of this embodiment is directed to a first device connected to a controller in a preset network, that is, applied to the first device, which serves as an execution subject. The first device may be a device having a user operation interface, and may be capable of connecting with the controller, and whether the controller allows the first network node to access the preset network is controlled by an input operation of the user operation interface.

The user operation interface may be a background control interface of the controller, may be in a page form, that is, an operation interface displayed through a page, or may be a display interface of an application program, that is, an operation interface displayed through an application program, or the like.

For step S100, the controller is a node that has accessed the preset network and is connected to the first device, and the first device may detect and receive an input operation through the user operation interface, where the input operation includes an operation of whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network. When the first network node is accessed to the preset network, the first network node establishes connection with the controller and sends a network access message of the first network node accessed to the preset network to the controller. The network entry message may include various information of the first network node, such as a name and a MAC address, etc., which are required when accessing the predetermined network.

After the first network node sends a network access message to the controller, the controller receives the network access message, the controller sends the network access message to the first device after receiving the network access message, and the first device receives the network access message of the first network node to be accessed to the preset network, which is sent by the controller.

After receiving the network access message, the first device may further display the network access message, so as to receive an input operation through the user operation interface according to the network access message.

For step S200, after the first device receives the network access message sent by the controller, the first device may display the network access message through the user operation interface, so as to determine whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network. After the network access message is displayed, an input operation may be received through the user operation interface, where the input operation may include an operation to allow the first network node to access the preset network and an operation to prohibit the first network node from accessing the preset network. And then determining whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network based on the input operation of the user operation interface.

For example, when the operation received through the user operation interface is to allow the first network node to access the preset network, the first network node is allowed to access the preset network, and the first network node may access the preset network. And when the operation received through the user operation interface is to forbid the first network node from accessing the preset network, the first network node is forbidden to access the preset network, and the first network node cannot access the preset network.

In an embodiment, after receiving the network access message, the first device may further generate, according to the network access message, confirmation information indicating whether the first network node is allowed to access the preset network, and display the confirmation information through the user operation interface. After the user operation interface displays the confirmation information, the displayed content may include: the information of the first network node, an 'allow' operation button for allowing the first network node to access the preset network, a 'forbid' operation button for forbidding the first network node to access the preset network, and the like.

Of course, any other method that can determine whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network according to the input operation of the user operation interface may be adopted, and the method that can determine whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network according to the input operation as long as the input operation can be received through the user operation interface is within the protection scope of the embodiment.

For step S300, after determining that the first network node is allowed to access the preset network according to the input operation of the user operation interface, the first device sends a network access authorization instruction to the controller, where the network access authorization instruction is used to indicate that the first network node is allowed to access the preset network. The network access authorization command can be automatically generated according to the input operation. The controller accesses the first network node to a preset network after receiving the network access authorization instruction, and completes network access of the first network node, so that network service is provided.

In the scheme of this embodiment, the first device may display a user operation interface, and the user operation interface may perform an operation according to the network access message, that is, determine whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network based on an input operation of the user operation interface. The input operation is an operation performed by a user according to the network access message of the first network node, and an operation for allowing the first network node to access the preset network or an operation for forbidding the first network node to access the preset network can be input through the user operation interface.

According to the input operation input by the user according to the network access message, the user can select whether the first network node to be accessed is accessed to the preset network, so that the node accessed to the preset network is the node agreed by the user, and the security verification of the network to be accessed is performed by the user, thereby reducing the condition that the node to be accessed is accessed to the preset network under the condition that the node is not agreed by the user, reducing the risk of leakage of sensitive information such as passwords of the preset network and privacy information, reducing the occurrence of user complaints, security events and the like caused by the risk, and further improving the security of the preset network.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 3, a flowchart for determining whether to allow the first network node to access the predetermined network is shown. Step S200, determining whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network based on the operation of the user operation interface, including:

step S201, according to the network access message, a prompt message for judging whether the first network node is allowed to access the preset network is output on the user operation interface.

Step S202, detecting the input operation of the prompt information acted on the user operation interface.

In step S203, when the input operation is detected to indicate that the first network node is allowed to access the preset network, it is determined that the first network node is allowed to access the preset network.

For step S201, after the first device receives the network access message sent by the controller, the first device may generate a prompt message indicating whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network according to the network access message, where the prompt message may include information of the first network node, and then output the prompt message on the user operation interface. The format of the prompting message is not limited, and the prompting message may include information such as the name and MAC address of the first network node, and may also include prompting messages such as "allow" and "prohibit" or "yes" and "no" for inputting the input operation.

For step S202, the first device may detect an input operation acting on the prompt information displayed on the user operation interface, for example, information such as a name and a MAC address of the first network node is displayed on the user operation interface, and at the same time, "allow" or "yes" indicating that the first network node is allowed to access the preset network, and "forbid" or "no" indicating that the first network node is not allowed to access the preset network are also displayed.

In step S203, when the input operation is detected as an operation indicating that the first network node is allowed to access the preset network, such as when the input operation is detected to act on "allow" or "yes", it indicates that the first network node is determined to be allowed to access the preset network. When the input operation is detected to be an operation indicating that the first network node is prohibited from accessing the preset network, if the input operation is detected to act on "prohibition" or "no", then the method indicates that the first network node is determined not to be permitted to access the preset network.

The embodiment may prompt a user to confirm that the first network node is accessed to the preset network when the first network node is accessed to the preset network, determine to allow the first network node to access to the preset network when an input operation indicating that the first network node is allowed to access to the preset network is detected, and determine not to allow the first network node to access to the preset network when an input operation indicating that the first network node is not allowed to access to the preset network is detected. Therefore, the first network node is allowed to be accessed to the preset network under the condition of user authorization, the probability of safety problems of the preset network caused by the fact that unknown network nodes or network nodes which are not agreed by the user are accessed to the preset network is reduced, the risk of leakage of preset network information is reduced, and the safety of the preset network information and the safety of user information are improved.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 4, another flowchart for determining whether to allow the first network node to access the predetermined network is shown. Step S200, determining whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network based on the input operation of the user operation interface, including:

step S204, obtaining configuration information determined based on the input operation of the user operation interface, wherein the configuration information comprises: a preset MAC address allowing access to a preset network.

Step S205, matching the MAC address of the first network node carried in the network access message with a preset MAC address.

Step S206, when the matching is successful, determining that the first network node is allowed to access a preset network; and when the matching fails, determining that the first network node is forbidden to access the preset network.

This embodiment is another method of determining whether to allow a first network node to access a pre-set network. Step S204 to step S206 and step S201 to step S203 have no inevitable precedence relationship.

For step S204, the method obtains configuration information determined based on an input operation of the user operation interface, where the configuration information is used to indicate node information that can access the preset network and/or node information that cannot access the preset network. The configuration information is determined by an input operation through a user operation interface, and the user operation interface can display the configuration information and the configuration interface for configuring the configuration information and can detect a configuration operation acting on the configuration interface. The first device may determine the configuration information based on the configuration operation.

The configuration information includes a preset MAC address allowing access to a preset network, and the preset MAC address may be determined through a configuration interface. The configuration information may be a white list of the first network nodes allowed to access the network, or may be a black list of the first network nodes prohibited from accessing the network.

For example, the MAC address of the first network node carried in the network access message may be added to the configuration information through the configuration interface according to the configuration operation, for example, in a preset MAC address list, where the preset MAC address list is a white list. The first network node in the white list may be determined to be a node that is allowed to enter the network.

And the MAC address of the first network node carried in the network access message can be added to a blacklist through a configuration interface according to configuration operation, and the first network node corresponding to the MAC address in the blacklist is prohibited from accessing the preset network. Or when the matching is unsuccessful, outputting prompt information of unsuccessful matching, and when detecting that the input operation for the prompt information of unsuccessful matching is forbidden network access operation, adding the MAC address into a blacklist.

The first network node in the blacklist is an untrusted node and is not allowed to access the preset network, so that the access of the preset network by the node in the blacklist can be reduced, and risks of stealing and information leakage of the preset network are reduced.

In one embodiment, the configuration information may also be modified through a user operation interface, such as changing the configuration information through a configuration interface.

In step S205, the network access message carries information such as the MAC address of the first network node to be accessed, and after receiving the network access message of the first network node sent by the controller, the MAC address in the network access message is matched with the preset MAC address, and it is determined whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network according to a matching result.

In step S206, when the matching is successful, it is determined that the first network node is allowed to access the preset network; and when the matching fails, determining that the first network node is forbidden to access the preset network.

In the method for determining whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network, whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network may be automatically determined according to the preset configuration information, which reduces the need to detect the input operation input through the user operation interface to determine whether to allow the first network node to access the preset network each time when the first network node needs to access the preset network, and only needs to detect the input operation for changing the configuration information through the user operation interface when the configuration information needs to be changed, thereby reducing the complexity of the determination and improving the confirmation efficiency.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 5, a timing diagram of a method for a node in another network to access the network is shown. The method further comprises the following steps:

after determining that the first network node is forbidden to access the preset network, sending a network access forbidding instruction to the controller; and the network access prohibition instruction is used for prohibiting the first network node from joining the preset network. The network access prohibition instruction is used for prohibiting the first network node from accessing the preset network by the controller.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 6, a timing diagram of a method for a node in another network to access the network is shown, and fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of an improvement made on fig. 2.

In this embodiment, a server is further provided between the controller and the first device, and the network access message and the network access authorization instruction are transmitted between the first device and the controller through the server. In this embodiment, the server is an application and a predetermined network server, the controller is connected to the server, and the first device is connected to the server. The controller sends the network access message of the first network node to the first device through the server, namely the network access message is sent to the server, and the server sends the network access message to the first device, or the first device acquires the network access message from the server.

When the first device sends the network access authorization instruction to the controller, the network access authorization instruction is also sent by the server, namely the first device sends the network access authorization instruction to the server, and then the server sends the network access authorization instruction to the controller.

In another embodiment, the network entry prohibition instruction may also be transmitted between the first device and the controller through the server.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 7, a timing diagram of a method for a node in another network to access a network, the method being applicable to a controller having access to a predetermined network, the method includes:
