Abstract

The present invention provides a processing method and processing device for automatically setting an Internet access mode. The method includes separately sending a PPPoE request message and a DHCP request message; if a DHCP response message corresponding to the DHCP request message is received first within a set time, determining that the Internet access mode is a DHCP mode; if a PPPoE response message corresponding to the PPPoE request message is received later within the set time, determining that the Internet access mode switches from the DHCP mode to a PPPoE mode. Embodiments of the present invention can improve accuracy of mode detection.

Claims

1. A processing method for automatically setting an Internet access mode, comprising:

separately sending a Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet PPPoE request message and a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP request message;

when a DHCP response message corresponding to the DHCP request message is received first within a set time, determining that the Internet access mode is a DHCP mode; and

when a PPPoE response message corresponding to the PPPoE request message is received later within the set time, determining that the Internet access mode switches from the DHCP mode to a PPPoE mode.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein, after the separately sending the PPPoE request message and the DHCP request message, the method further comprises:

when the PPPoE response message is received first within the set time, determining that the Internet access mode is the PPPoE mode, and stopping sending the DHCP request message.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein, after the determining that the Internet access mode switches from the DHCP mode to the PPPoE mode, the method further comprises:

performing dial-up in the PPPoE mode; and

after the dial-up in the PPPoE mode fails, determining that the Internet access mode switches back from the PPPoE mode to the DHCP mode.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein, after the separately sending the PPPoE request message and the DHCP request message, the method further comprises:

when the PPPoE response message and the DHCP response message are not received within the set time, determining that detection of the Internet access mode fails.

5. The method according to claim 2, wherein, after the separately sending the PPPoE request message and the DHCP request message, the method further comprises:

when the PPPoE response message and the DHCP response message are not received within the set time, determining that detection of the Internet access mode fails.

6. The method according to claim 3, wherein, after the separately sending the PPPoE request message and the DHCP request message, the method further comprises:

when the PPPoE response message and the DHCP response message are not received within the set time, determining that detection of the Internet access mode fails.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the separately sending the PPPoE request message and the DHCP request message comprises:

with an exponential multiple of two as a time interval, sending the PPPoE request message at intervals, and with the exponential multiple of two as the time interval, sending the DHCP request message at intervals.

8. The method according to claim 2, wherein the separately sending the PPPoE request message and the DHCP request message comprises:

with an exponential multiple of two as a time interval, sending the PPPoE request message at intervals, and with the exponential multiple of two as the time interval, sending the DHCP request message at intervals.

9. The method according to claim 3, wherein the separately sending the PPPoE request message and the DHCP request message comprises:

with an exponential multiple of two as a time interval, sending the PPPoE request message at intervals, and with the exponential multiple of two as the time interval, sending the DHCP request message at intervals.

10. The method according to claim 4, wherein the separately sending the PPPoE request message and the DHCP request message comprises:

with an exponential multiple of two as a time interval, sending the PPPoE request message at intervals, and with the exponential multiple of two as the time interval, sending the DHCP request message at intervals.

11. A processing device, comprising:

a transmitter, configured to separately send a Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet PPPoE request message and a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP request message, and receive a DHCP response message corresponding to the DHCP request message and a PPPoE response message corresponding to the PPPoE request message; and

a processor, configured to;

when determining that the transmitter first receives the DHCP response message corresponding to the DHCP request message within a set time, determine that an Internet access mode is a DHCP mode; and

when determining that the transmitter later receives the PPPoE response message corresponding to the PPPoE request message within the set time, determine that the Internet access mode switches from the DHCP mode to a PPPoE mode.

12. The device according to claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to:

when determining that the transmitter first receives the PPPoE response message within the set time, determine that the Internet access mode is the PPPoE mode, and control the transmitter to stop sending the DHCP request message.

13. The device according to claim 11, wherein, after determining that the Internet access mode switches from the DHCP mode to the PPPoE mode, the processor is further configured to:

perform dial-up in the PPPoE mode; and

after the dial-up in the PPPoE mode fails, determine that the Internet access mode switches back from the PPPoE mode to the DHCP mode.

14. The device according to claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to:

when determining that the transmitter does not receive the PPPoE response message or the DHCP response message within the set time, determine that detection of the Internet access mode fails.

15. The device according to claim 12, wherein the processor is further configured to:

when determining that the transmitter does not receive the PPPoE response message or the DHCP response message within the set time, determine that detection of the Internet access mode fails.

16. The device according to claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to:

when determining that the transmitter does not receive the PPPoE response message or the DHCP response message within the set time, determine that detection of the Internet access mode fails.

17. The device according to claim 11, wherein the transmitter is further configured to:

with an exponential multiple of two as a time interval, send the PPPoE request message at intervals, and with the exponential multiple of two as the time interval, send the DHCP request message at intervals.

18. The device according to claim 12, wherein the transmitter is further configured to:

with an exponential multiple of two as a time interval, send the PPPoE request message at intervals, and with the exponential multiple of two as the time interval, send the DHCP request message at intervals.

19. The device according to claim 13, wherein the transmitter is further configured to:

with an exponential multiple of two as a time interval, send the PPPoE request message at intervals, and with the exponential multiple of two as the time interval, send the DHCP request message at intervals.

20. The device according to claim 14, wherein the transmitter is further configured to:

with an exponential multiple of two as a time interval, send the PPPoE request message at intervals, and with the exponential multiple of two as the time interval, send the DHCP request message at intervals.
