Abstract
A communication method, a communication apparatus, and a communication system. An address allocation policy, a NAT policy, and a packet isolation policy can be configured for a relay terminal device, so that IP addresses are automatically configured for connected devices of the relay terminal device in batches, and packet routing of the connected devices is automatically controlled, thereby improving packet sending efficiency. In addition, because there is an association established between identification information of the connected devices and the IP addresses, security of allocating the IP addresses is improved.
Claims20
A communication method, applied to a first device or a module of the first device, wherein the method comprises:
- obtaining an address allocation policy, wherein the address allocation policy includes a mapping relationship between identification information of at least one connected device of a relay terminal device and internet protocol (IP) address information of the at least one connected device, wherein the at least one connected device includes a first connected device;
- and
- allocating an IP address to the first connected device according to the address allocation policy.
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory storage includes instructions;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with a transceiver and the memory storage, wherein the at least one processor executes the instructions to:
- obtain an address allocation policy, wherein the address allocation policy includes a mapping relationship between identification information of at least one connected device of a relay terminal device and internet protocol (IP) address information of the at least one connected device, wherein the at least one connected device includes a first connected device;
- and
- allocate an IP address to the first connected device according to the address allocation policy.
A communication system, comprising:
- a first device, a relay terminal device, and at least one connected device of the relay terminal device, wherein
- the first device is configured to:
- obtain an address allocation policy, wherein the address allocation policy includes a mapping relationship between identification information of the at least one connected device and internet protocol (IP) address information of the at least one connected device, wherein the at least one connected device includes a first connected device;
- and
- allocate an IP address to the first connected device according to the address allocation policy.
