Abstract
A network device and an operating method thereof are disclosed, where the network device includes a setting unit and a connection unit coupled with the setting unit. The setting unit sets a first port as a predetermined port for a communication protocol, and the connection unit allows a client device to use the communication protocol to connect to the first port. When a client device sends a port-change request, the setting unit changes the predetermined port to a second port according to the port-change request. The connection unit maintains a communication between the first port and the client device and further allows another client device to use the communication protocol to connect to the second port.

A network device, comprising,
- a setting unit, configured to set a first port as a default port of a communication protocol;
- and
- a connection unit, coupled with the setting unit and configured to allow a client device to connect with the first port according to the communication protocol, wherein, when the client device sends a port-change request, the setting unit sets a second port as the default port of the communication protocol according to the port-change request, and the connection unit maintains a communication between the first port and the client device and allows another client device to connect with the second port according to the communication protocol.
An operating method of a network device, the network device comprising at least a first port and a second port, the operating method comprising:
- (a) setting the first port as a default port of a communication protocol, and allowing a client device to connect with the first port according to the communication protocol;
- (b) when the client device sends a port-change request via the first port, setting the second port as the default port of the communication protocol according to the port-change request;
- and
- (c) maintaining the communication between the first port and the client device, and allowing another client device to connect with the second port according to the communication protocol.
