Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
The problem that unplanned sub gateway equipment cannot be prevented from joining in networking in the prior art is solved. An embodiment of the present invention provides a mesh networking management method, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
step 101, detecting the number of networked sub gateway devices;
specifically, after the networking initialization is completed, the main gateway connects the device with the sub-gateway device through a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) private Protocol to perform communication, so as to achieve the purpose of detecting the number of the sub-gateway devices that have been networked and have been networked.
It should be noted that the connection is a short connection, and is released immediately after the call is completed, so that the resource occupation can be reduced as much as possible; the TCP private protocol is a connection-oriented, reliable and byte stream-based transport layer communication protocol, and is defined by RFC 793 of IETF, so that the gateway equipment can reliably and stably complete connection; through the step 101, the number of currently networked and networking ad hoc gateway devices can be obtained, which is convenient for subsequently limiting the addition of the off-plan sub-gateway devices into the networking.
In an alternative embodiment, since the user may perform networking and networking in a wired or wireless or both networking manner, the networking manner of the networking may be a wired manner and/or a wireless manner.
It should be noted that, with this alternative embodiment, the use of the network by the user in various networking scenarios can be satisfied.
In an alternative embodiment, since the detecting the number of the sub-gateway devices already networked and performing networking consumes certain time and resources, and the detecting cannot be performed continuously, based on this, the foregoing step 101, when performing the operation of detecting the number of the sub-gateway devices already networked and performing networking, may include: and when the sub-gateway equipment is added into networking, the sub-gateway equipment exits the networking or the maximum threshold value is changed, detecting the number of the sub-gateway equipment which is already networked and is subjected to networking.
It should be noted that, with this alternative embodiment, the detection can be performed as soon as possible when there is a detection need, avoiding unnecessary consumption of time and resources.
Step 102, when the number of the sub-gateway devices exceeds a maximum threshold, not allowing the sub-gateway device with smaller weight in the sub-gateway devices to join in the networking, and closing a WDS interface used for communicating with the sub-gateway device with smaller weight in the sub-gateway devices;
the maximum threshold value is the maximum number of the sub-gateway devices for networking, the main gateway device is a gateway device with a Controller in a use mode, and the sub-gateway device is a gateway device with an Agent in a use mode.
Specifically, when mesh networking is performed, a main gateway device with a Controller as a use mode is used for managing the whole network, all sub-gateway devices with Agent as the use mode are directly or indirectly connected with the main gateway device, the main gateway device also comprises a function of the Agent use mode, but the function of the Agent use mode is not equal to that of one sub-gateway device, and the number of the sub-gateway devices is not counted in the sub-gateway device when the number of the sub-gateway devices is detected; the maximum threshold is set by a manager, the manager may be various persons such as a network operator, an equipment operator or a user who have a requirement for setting the maximum threshold, and the embodiment does not limit the identity of the manager; the maximum threshold value may be set on the main gateway device, and the setting process may be remote, and the setting manner is not limited in this embodiment; after the sub gateway device is connected with the main gateway device through the two-layer connection, the onboarding is on-line according to an IEEE1905 protocol, and then Auto-configuration is kept, at this time, after the sub gateway device is connected with the two-layer connection, the main gateway device judges that the networking synchronization data of the current device is not allowed according to the set maximum threshold, does not reply the Auto-configuration request sent by the sub gateway device, and does not send the Auto-configuration message to the sub gateway device when the parameters are changed, so that the effect of not allowing the networking of the sub gateway device is achieved; WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is a protocol for wirelessly connecting two access points, and it can extend a Wireless network to multiple gateway devices without the need for traditional wired backbone connections, and compared with other solutions, WDS has the notable advantage that it can still store the MAC address of a client in the transmission of each access point; the WDS interface is an important interface for mesh networking communication, the main gateway device can start a plurality of WDS interfaces to perform data transmission with each sub-gateway device respectively, and the closing of one WDS interface does not affect the data transmission between other sub-gateway devices and the main gateway device; closing the WDS interface for communicating with a sub-gateway device may cause the sub-gateway device to be connected to the main gateway device, but not to be able to access the internet normally when other terminal devices with network cards are connected to the sub-gateway device.
It should be noted that, 4 address fields are reserved in the Wi-Fi MAC layer data frame structure defined by the IEEE 802.11 protocol, a mesh link based on WDS adopts a four-address format for transmission, and the data frame is only related to the MAC layer, so that the data does not need to be processed by an upper IP layer, and the efficiency is higher; through the step 102, when the planned sub-gateway device automatically joins the network, the function of the sub-gateway device is limited, the number of the networking sub-gateway devices is controllable, so that an operator can remotely control the number of the networking terminals, and when the problem reported by the user is analyzed, the interference item can be more conveniently eliminated.
In an optional embodiment, when the maximum threshold changes after networking, both the main gateway device and the sub gateway device perform wifi restart operation, and perform networking again.
Specifically, when the maximum threshold becomes smaller after networking, the main gateway device synchronizes the maximum threshold to the sub-gateway device through the TCP private protocol, the sub-gateway device restarts wifi after receiving the maximum threshold synchronized by the private protocol, re-networks the network, restarts wifi after the main gateway device synchronizes the maximum threshold, and takes the maximum threshold into effect, when the sub-gateway device re-accesses the network with the main gateway device, the sub-gateway device connects to the main gateway device through a two-layer connection, and accesses the network according to the IEEE1905 protocol, and then keeps Auto-configuration, at this time, after the two-layer connection of the sub-gateway device, the main gateway device judges that the networking synchronization data of the current device is not allowed according to the set maximum threshold, does not reply to the Auto-configuration request sent from the sub-gateway device, and does not send an Auto-configuration message to the sub-gateway device when the parameter is changed, thereby achieving the effect of not allowing networking of the sub-gateway device, at this time, the sub-gateway device is connected with a main gateway device (wired networking or wireless networking is not distinguished), but data synchronization cannot be carried out, and the sub-gateway device cannot be managed and controlled on the main gateway device, at this time, the sub-gateway device is equivalent to a common terminal device with a network card, when the sub-gateway device is connected with wifi of the main gateway device, the main gateway device does not start a WDS interface according to the judgment of a maximum threshold value, at this time, the sub-gateway device cannot normally go on the network when other terminal devices with network cards are connected to the network of the sub-gateway device although the sub-gateway device is connected with the main gateway device, and the function of preventing network rubbing can be achieved; when the maximum threshold value becomes large after networking, the main gateway device restarts wifi, the maximum threshold value becomes effective, when the sub-gateway device is re-online and is networked with the main gateway device (wired networking or wireless networking is not distinguished), the main gateway device judges whether the current device networking synchronous data is allowed according to the maximum threshold value, at the moment, the sub-gateway device can perform data synchronization after being connected with the main gateway device, the sub-gateway device can be managed on the main gateway device, when the sub-gateway device is connected with the wifi of the main gateway device, the main gateway device judges whether to normally start a WDS interface for the sub-gateway device according to the maximum threshold value, at the moment, after the sub-gateway device is connected with the main gateway device, other terminal devices with network cards are connected to the sub-gateway device under the network, and the sub-gateway device can normally surf the internet.
In an alternative embodiment, since the sub-gateway device that is added to the networking last is more likely to be an unplanned sub-gateway device when the number of sub-gateway devices exceeds the maximum threshold, the weight may be set in chronological order, and the earlier the sub-gateway device joins the networking, the greater the weight of the sub-gateway device.
It should be noted that, with this alternative embodiment, the unplanned sub-gateway device in the normal condition cannot perform data transmission with the main gateway device through the WDS interface, and the unplanned sub-gateway device is prevented from joining in the networking.
In an alternative embodiment, the fact that the number of sub-gateway devices exceeds the maximum threshold may be due to the fact that the number of sub-gateway devices exceeds the maximum threshold set according to the daily usage number, and based on this, the weight may be set according to the usage duration of the sub-gateway device, and the longer the usage duration of the sub-gateway device is, the larger the weight of the sub-gateway is.
It should be noted that, by using this optional embodiment, an unusual sub-gateway device can be kicked out of the networking, and the network usage requirement of the user in a special scene is met.
In an alternative embodiment, the reason why the number of sub-gateway devices exceeds the maximum threshold may be that when the user changes the sub-gateway device, the sub-gateway device that is not networked is not noticed to have a limitation of the maximum threshold, and based on this, the weight may be set autonomously by a human.
It should be noted that, by using this alternative embodiment, the usage requirement of the network in a special scene of the user can be adapted.
By means of the technical scheme, the embodiment of the invention provides a mesh networking management method, and aims to solve the problem that the prior art cannot avoid that unplanned sub-gateway equipment joins in networking. The embodiment of the invention detects the quantity of the networked and networked sub gateway devices; and when the number of the sub gateway devices exceeds the maximum threshold, not allowing the sub gateway device with smaller weight in the sub gateway devices to join in the networking, closing a WDS interface used for communicating with the sub gateway device with smaller weight in the sub gateway devices, and finishing the management of the mesh networking. In the scheme, the number of the current networking and networking self-gateway devices can be obtained by detecting the number of the networking and networking sub-gateway devices, so that the subsequent limitation of adding the off-plan sub-gateway devices into the networking is facilitated; when the number of the sub-gateway devices exceeds the maximum threshold value, the sub-gateway device with the smaller weight in the sub-gateway devices is not allowed to join the networking, and the operation of closing the WDS interface used for communicating with the sub-gateway device with the smaller weight in the sub-gateway devices is performed, so that when the sub-gateway devices which are not planned automatically join the network, the functions of the sub-gateway devices are limited, the number of the sub-gateway devices of the networking is controllable, an operator can remotely control the number of the networking terminals, and when analyzing the problem reported by a user, the interference items can be eliminated more conveniently. According to the scheme, the function of the planned sub gateway equipment can be limited when the planned sub gateway equipment joins in the networking, and the problem that the planned sub gateway equipment cannot be prevented from joining in the networking in the prior art is solved.
