Communication method and apparatus for external devices, electronic device, and storage medium

A communication apparatus for an external device, comprising:

• an allocation module, configured to allocate an internal IP address to the external device to access a base station, wherein the external device is connected to the base station through an Ethernet interface of a destination device;
• a searching module, configured to search corresponding relations between internal IP addresses and Ethernet interfaces for the Ethernet interface corresponding to the internal IP address that is allocated;
• determine destination device information corresponding to the destination device to which the Ethernet interface that is found belongs;
• and search model data of all external devices for model data comprising the destination device information, and establishing a corresponding relation between the model data that is found and the internal IP address that is allocated, wherein the model data is configured to identify the external device;
• and
• a communication module, configured to communicate with the external device identified by the model data through the internal IP address corresponding to the model data.

An electronic device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor;
• wherein
• the memory stores an instruction executable by the at least one processor, and the at least one processor is configured to:
• allocate an internal Internet protocol (IP) address to the external device to access the base station, wherein the external device is connected to the base station through an Ethernet interface of a destination device;
• search corresponding relations between internal IP addresses and Ethernet interfaces for the Ethernet interface corresponding to the internal IP address that is allocated;
• determine destination device information corresponding to the destination device to which the Ethernet interface that is found belongs;
• search model data of all external devices for model data comprising the destination device information, and establish a corresponding relation between the model data that is found and the internal IP address that is allocated, wherein the model data is configured to identify the external device;
• and
• communicate with the external device identified by the model data through the internal IP address corresponding to the model data.
