Abstract
A communication method and apparatus, and an optical bus network. A controller sends, in response to discovering a target optical head end, a target optical head end identifier to the target optical head end, where the target optical head end identifier identifies the target optical head end. The controller determines a target management protocol from management protocols supported by the target optical head end. The controller communicates target information with the target optical head end based on the target optical head end identifier and the target management protocol, where the target information is used by the controller to manage the target optical head end and/or at least one optical terminal managed by the target optical head end.
Claims20
A device management method, applied to an optical bus network, the optical bus network comprising a target optical head end and at least one optical terminal managed by the target optical head end, the optical bus network further comprising a controller, and the method comprising:
- performing, by the controller, a discovery process for discovering the target optical head end, wherein the discovery process includes broadcasting a discovery packet that includes a destination identifier corresponding to the discovery packet and receiving a discovery packet response from the target optical head end based on the destination identifier;
- in response to receiving the discovery packet response, sending, by the controller, a target optical head end identifier to the target optical head end, wherein the target optical head end identifier identifies the target optical head end;
- determining, by the controller, a target management protocol from management protocols supported by the target optical head end;
- and
- communicating, by the controller, target information with the target optical head end based on the target optical head end identifier and the target management protocol, wherein the target information is used by the controller to manage the target optical head end and/or the at least one optical terminal managed by the target optical head end.
A communication method, applied to an optical bus network, the optical bus network comprising a target optical head end and at least one optical terminal managed by the target optical head end, the optical bus network further comprising a controller, and the method comprising:
- receiving, by the target optical head end, a discovery packet that includes a destination identifier corresponding to the discovery packet and sending a discovery packet response from the target optical head end based on the destination identifier;
- in response to sending the discovery packet response, receiving, by the target optical head end, a target optical head end identifier from the controller, wherein the target optical head end identifier is for identifying the target optical head end;
- and
- transmitting, by the target optical head end, target information to the controller based on the target optical head end identifier and a target management protocol, wherein the target information is used by the controller to manage the target optical head end and/or the at least one optical terminal managed by the target optical head end, and the target management protocol is determined by the controller from management protocols supported by the target optical head end.
A target optical head end, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate with another device;
- memory storing program instructions;
- and
- a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform operations to:
- receive, from a controller, a discovery packet that includes a destination identifier corresponding to the discovery packet and sending a discovery packet response to the controller based on the destination identifier;
- in response to sending the discovery packet response, receive a target optical head end identifier from the controller, wherein the target optical head end identifier is for identifying the target optical head end;
- and
- transmit target information to the controller based on the target optical head end identifier and a target management protocol, wherein the target information is used by the controller to manage the target optical head end and/or at least one optical terminal managed by the target optical head end, and the target management protocol is determined by the controller from management protocols supported by the target optical head end.
