Abstract

A network configuration method, a terminal device, a system and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed. The network configuration method may include: receiving first configuration information from a first device; setting VLAN information of a second device according to the first configuration information, and generating second configuration information according to the VLAN information; and establishing a communication connection with the first device by means of an untagged port.

Claims (50)

1. A network configuration method for communicatively connecting a user access device to a network access device, the method comprising:

receiving first configuration information from the network access device;

adaptively setting Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) information of the user access device according to the first configuration information, and generating second configuration information according to the VLAN information of the user access device; and

establishing a logical link communication connection between the network access device and the user access device on a physical link by means of an untagged port according to the second configuration information, to share the physical link;

wherein the network access device is connected to the Internet, and the user access device is connected to terminal devices or functions.

2. The network configuration method of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration information comprises at least one of:

VLAN ID, Internet Protocol (IP) subnet information, Access Point Name (APN) information or port type information.

3. The network configuration method of claim 1 , wherein the user access device receives the first configuration information in a form of a Socket or a file.

4. The network configuration method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending second configuration information to the network access device, wherein the second configuration information comprises at least one of: VLAN ID, IP subnet information or APN information.

5. A network configuration method for communicatively connecting a user access device to a firstnetwork access device, the method comprising:

acquiring first configuration information of a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN);

sending the first configuration information to the user access device; and

establishing a logical link communication connection between the user access device and the network access device on a physical link by means of an untagged interface according to the first configuration information, to share the physical link;

wherein the network access device is connected to the Internet, and the user access device is connected to terminal devices or functions.

6. The network configuration method of claim 5 , wherein the first configuration information comprises at least one of:

VLAN ID, Internet Protocol (IP) subnet information, Access Point Name (APN) information or port type information.

7. The network configuration method of claim 6 , further comprising:

acquiring second configuration information from the user access device.

8. The network configuration method of claim 5 , wherein the first configuration information is sent to the user access device by means of a mode comprising at least one of: sending a Socket or sending a file.

9. The network configuration method of claim 8 , further comprising:

acquiring second configuration information from the user access device.

10. The network configuration method of claim 5 , further comprising:

acquiring second configuration information from the user access device.

11. The network configuration method of claim 10 , further comprising:

detecting, according to the second configuration information, whether the first configuration information conflicts with the second configuration information; and

in response to a presence of the confliction, performing a collision avoidance process.

12. The network configuration method of claim 11 , wherein the collision avoidance process comprises:

resetting a subnet address; and

reconfiguring a subnet of the network access device.

13. A network configuration method for communicatively connecting a user access device to a network access device, the method comprising:

acquiring, by the network access device, first configuration information of a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN);

sending, by the network access device, the first configuration information to the user access device;

adaptively setting, by the user access device, VLAN information of the user access device according to the first configuration information;

generating, by the user access device, second configuration information according to the VLAN information of the user access device;

sending, by the user access device, the second configuration information to the network access device; and

establishing, by the network access, a logical link communication connection between the network access device and the user access device on a physical link by means of an untagged port according to the first configuration information and the second configuration information, to share the physical link;

wherein the network access device is connected to the Internet, and the user access device is connected to terminal devices or functions.

14. The network configuration method of claim 13 , further comprising:

performing a collision detection process, wherein the collision detection process at least comprises:

sending, by the network access device, third configuration information to the user access device;

acquiring, by the user access device, according to the third configuration information, a subnet and a gateway of the network access device;

judging, by the user access device, whether the subnet and the gateway of the network access device are the same as the subnet and the gateway of the user access device;

in response to the subnet and the gateway of the network access device being the same as the subnet and the gateway of the user access device, modifying the subnet and the gateway of the user access device; and

in response to the subnet and the gateway of the network access device being different from the subnet and the gateway of the user access device, terminating the collision detection process.

15. The network configuration method of claim 13 , further comprising:

sending, by the user access device, an acquisition mode of the first configuration information to the network access device; and

sending, by the network access device, the first configuration information to the user access device according to the acquisition mode.

16. The network configuration method of claim 15 , wherein the acquisition mode comprises:

sending the first configuration information in a form of a Socket or a file.
