The following describes a control method provided in an embodiment of the present application with reference to the communication system in fig. 1.

Fig. 3 provides a control method for an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3, the method includes:

step 301, the baseband device obtains port configuration information of the convergence device.

The baseband device may be the baseband device in fig. 1. The sink device may be any sink device connected to the baseband device in fig. 1.

The port configuration information of the sink device may be used to indicate whether the sink device supports PoE power supply.

For example, the port configuration information of the aggregation device may include at least a port name, a port status, and whether the port supports PoE control.

In a possible implementation manner, the baseband device may obtain the port configuration information of the convergence device through interaction with the convergence device. For example. The baseband device may send request information to the aggregation device, where the request information may be used to request to obtain port configuration information of the aggregation device. The sink device may send port configuration information to the baseband device after receiving the request information from the baseband device. Accordingly, the baseband device receives port configuration information from the convergence device.

In yet another possible implementation manner, the aggregation device may actively send port configuration information to the baseband device. For example, the sink device may periodically or randomly send port configuration information to the baseband device, or the sink device may actively send port configuration information to the baseband device after the port state is labeled.

Further, the baseband device may first obtain the capability information of the convergence device. The capability information of the sink device can be used to characterize whether the sink device supports the PoE management YANG model. If the convergence device supports the PoE management YANG model, the baseband device may obtain port configuration information of the convergence device.

The YANG model is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard organization. The YANG model is a language for modeling and describing network configuration management data, so as to support that a network configuration protocol (NETCONF) is a complete description of data between a client and a server. Configuration data, status data, Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and Notification (Notification) of interaction between the NETCONF client and the server are described by a YANG model.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, based on the YANG model, PoE power supply parameters are configured for the sink device through the YANG model. The baseband device may serve as a NETCONF client, and the convergence device may serve as a NETCONF server. Therefore, the base band equipment can remotely control the PoE power supply of the convergence equipment according to the interactive configuration data between the NETCONF client and the server.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to reduce signaling overhead, the baseband device may first obtain the capability information of the aggregation device. If the capability information of the sink device is used to indicate that the sink device supports the PoE management YANG model, that is, the baseband device may determine that PoE power supply of the sink device can be controlled by the configuration parameter. Further, the baseband device may obtain port configuration parameters of the convergence device supporting the PoE management YANG model. For a sink device that does not support the PoE management YANG model, the baseband device may not obtain the port configuration parameters of the sink device.

Step 302, if the convergence device supports the PoE management YANG model, the baseband device sends the configuration parameters to the convergence device. Accordingly, the sink device receives the configuration parameters from the sink device.

The target rf device may be any rf device connected to the sink device in fig. 1.

The configuration parameter may be used to instruct the sink device to control PoE power supply of the target radio frequency device. For example, the configuration parameters may include a PoE power up enabled parameter, a PoE power down parameter, and a PoE power down parameter.

In a possible implementation manner, the baseband device may send different configuration parameters to the sink device according to a port state of a port corresponding to the target device in the sink device. Correspondingly, the convergence device receives the configuration parameters from the baseband device and executes the operation corresponding to the configuration parameters according to the configuration parameters.

In one example, if the port state corresponding to the target radio frequency device is a PoE power-off state, the first configuration information is sent to the sink device. The first configuration information is used for instructing the sink device to perform a PoE power-on operation or a PoE power-down operation on the target radio frequency device. Correspondingly, the convergence device controls the PoE power supply operation or PoE powering-down operation of the target radio frequency device according to the first configuration information.

Specifically, for each port of the convergence device, the baseband device may perform the following operations:

1. if the baseband device determines to execute the PoE power supply operation on the radio frequency device, the baseband device may detect a state of a port corresponding to the radio frequency device. If the port state of the port is OFF (OFF) and the port supports PoE control, it indicates that the rf device corresponding to the port is in a power-OFF state. The baseband device may send configuration parameters to the sink device instructing the sink device to perform PoE powering operations on the target radio frequency device. The first configuration parameter may be or.

The determining, by the baseband device, of performing the PoE power supply operation on the radio frequency device may be that the baseband device receives an instruction, used by an upper layer device (such as a network management device), for instructing to perform the power supply operation on the radio frequency device, or, in response to the input instruction, the baseband device determines to perform the PoE power supply operation on the radio frequency device. The input command may be a command input by a maintenance person through an input device of the convergence device.

In one example, when the first configuration parameter is used to instruct the sink device to perform PoE power-up operations on the target rf device, the first configuration parameter may be a power-supply-mode (power-ENABLE) YANG model parameter. Accordingly, the sink device may perform PoE-enabled power for the port.

2. If the port state of the port is ON (ON), it indicates that the radio frequency device corresponding to the port is already enabled to supply power, and no further configuration is required for the port.

3. If the baseband device determines to perform a power-down operation on the radio frequency device, the baseband device may detect a state of a port corresponding to the radio frequency device. If the port state is ON and the port supports PoE control, it indicates that the radio frequency device is in a power-ON state. The baseband device may send configuration parameters to the aggregation device indicating to perform a PoE power-down operation on the radio frequency device.

In yet another example, the configuration parameters may be YANG model parameters powered-on (power-supplied-mode) with "RESET". Accordingly, the sink device may perform a power-down operation on the target radio frequency device.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, when it is necessary to perform a test on the radio frequency device or detect whether the radio frequency device is faulty, a power-down operation may be performed on the radio frequency device.

Further, the sink device may send a notification message to the baseband device after performing an operation corresponding to the configuration information. The notification message may be used to notify the baseband device that a corresponding PoE operation has been performed on the radio frequency device. For example, the notification message may be a power-status-change (power-status-change). The notification information may include a port state of a port corresponding to the radio frequency device. Therefore, the baseband equipment can obtain the power supply condition of the radio frequency equipment according to the port state.

4. If the baseband device determines to perform the PoE disabling power supply on the radio frequency device, and the baseband device detects that the port state corresponding to the radio frequency device is the PoE enabling power supply state, the baseband device may send second configuration information to the sink device, where the second configuration information is used to instruct the sink device to perform a PoE disabling power supply operation on the radio frequency device.

In one example, the second configuration parameter may be a YANG model parameter powered-on-mode (Power-supplied-mode) of "DISABLE".

Further, the sink device may perform a port to enable the PoE powering operation after receiving the second configuration parameter from the baseband device. After performing the port-to-PoE power-up operation, the sink device may send a notification message to the baseband device to notify the baseband device that the PoE power-up operation is performed on the radio frequency device. Specifically, reference may be made to the above description, which is not repeated.

Based on the technical scheme of fig. 3, the baseband device may obtain port configuration information of the convergence device, and in a case that the convergence device supports PoE power supply, the baseband device may issue, to the convergence device, configuration information for instructing the convergence device to control PoE power supply of the radio frequency device. Since the sink device supports PoE power supply, that is, the sink device can control power-off and power-on of the radio frequency device connected to the sink device. Therefore, after the configuration information of the baseband equipment is received by the convergence equipment, the radio frequency equipment can be powered on or off, plugging and unplugging are not needed manually, and time and energy of maintenance personnel are saved.

With reference to fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, the method provided in this embodiment of the present application, before step 301, may further include:

step 401, based on a preset communication protocol, a baseband device establishes a management plane connection with a convergence device.

The preset communication protocol may be a network configuration protocol (NETCONF). The NETCONF protocol may refer to the prior art and is not described in detail.

Specifically, the management plane connection process based on the NETCONF protocol is as follows:

1. the NETCONF client (baseband device) listens to a call home port.

2. The NETCONF server (convergence device) initiates a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) process to obtain an Internet Protocol (IP) address.

3. The NETCONF server initiates a call home process, and establishes a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection with the NETCONF client.

4. The NETCONF client and the server establish a Secure Shell (SSH) and NETCONF connection based on TCP connection,

it should be noted that, after the management plane connection based on the NETCONF protocol is established, the parameter configuration of the NETCONF client (baseband unit) to the NETCONF server (convergence unit and radio frequency unit) is implemented by a YANG model encapsulated in the NETCONF content layer.

Based on the possible implementation mode, the baseband equipment and the convergence equipment establish management surface connection based on a NETCONF protocol. Based on the management surface connection, the baseband device can remotely interact data with the aggregation device.

All the schemes in the above embodiments of the present application can be combined without contradiction.

The division of the modules or units in the embodiment of the present application is schematic, and is only a logic function division, and there may be another division manner in actual implementation.

In the case of dividing each functional module according to each function, fig. 5 shows a schematic structural diagram of a communication apparatus 50, where the communication apparatus 50 may be a baseband device, or may be a chip applied to the baseband device, and the communication apparatus 50 may be configured to perform the function of the baseband device in the above-described embodiment.
