REYEE SON Introduction
RSE-REYEE Certification Course
Foreword
Self-organizing networking feature, which breaks through the product limitations and realizes auto-discovery, auto-
networking and auto-
configuration between routers, switches, and wireless APs without the need for controllers or Internet access. With the mobile app, use
rs can quickly complete the device deployment and configuration, remote management, operation and maintenance of the entire netw
ork, which greatly reduces the investment of equipment cost, labor cost and time cost in the process of wireless network construction.

SON service process
Easydisc
Responsible for neighbor discovery, master election, and notification of master changes.
Easydisc is a proprietary protocol and uses UDP port numbers 43561 and 43562 for communication.
Mqtt
Responsible for the collection of networking equipment information, the collection of sta information, and the
synchronization of configuration information.
Mqtt is a standard protocol and uses TCP port number 1883 for communication.

Easydisc - networkid
NetworkID
Every device has its networkID.
Only devices with the same networkID can be added to a network.
Devices with different networkID should be merged before added to the same network.
The networkID is 0 by default.
After the device is configured, it will have a new networkID ( networkid is non-zero ).

Easydisc – packet
Packet type:
Declare: broadcast; in Init state, broadcast declare message; send its own priority and other related information.
Reject: unicast; when receiving the decade message, according to the election priority, if its own priority is higher, it
will reply reject.
Join: broadcast; sent by the master, when other init states receive the message, they will connect to the master
according to the master information in it.
Conflict: unicast; the master sends a conflict message when it receives a join message from another master and
cannot be resolved according to the conflict handling algorithm.
Merge: unicast; the master sends a merge message when it receives a join message from other masters and can
merge the other party's network according to the conflict handling algorithm.
Hello: broadcast; all devices start broadcasting hello packets after the role status is confirmed for neighbor
discovery.

Master election rules
Priority :
1. EG > AP > SW
2. Device CPU/Memory/other(AP radio number)
Mac address
When the priorities are the same, the larger mac address is the master
Select the master Master selected

Master election rules
Master is offline Re-select a new master
Innovation • Simplicity • Experience
Master preemption mechanism
If a device with a higher priority joins a network, the master device will change. The new device will send
a merge packet to the master device.
[Link] AP networking, after the master is selected, if a new EG is added, EG will become the master.
Delay time: 7-8s
[Link] AP networking , after the master is selected, if a new AP with a higher priority is added,
the preempt is delayed.
Delay time: preemption starts after the master is powered on for 36 hours and the new device
is powered on for 5 minutes; otherwise, preemption starts after the new device is powered on for 30 minutes.
[Link] AP+SW networking, after the master is selected, if a new EG is added, EG will become the master device.

Troubleshooting
Fault symptom:
Network Self-Organization Fail
Cause:
There are multiple Master, can see more than 1 @RUIJIE-mxxx SSID.
Layer2 broadcast fail
Solution:
[Link] whether the devices are connected with same network and merge all the devices to the same network.
[Link] whether there have some configuration like VLAN and port isolation.
[Link] whether theSON is disable.
Innovation • Simplicity • Experience
Troubleshooting
Fault symptom:
Network Self-Organization succeed, but devices can not online on RUIJIE Cloud
Cause:
Firmware
Configuration
Network between devices and RUIJIE cloud
Solution:
[Link] whether the firmware is the latest, if no, upgrade it.
[Link] the devices.
[Link] the default URL of devices, check the DNS and the network

FAQ
What is the protocol of SON?
SON is based on mqtt protocol and belongs to the application layer.
Does the configuration ofSON will change if the master is disconnect?
The configuration will not change when re-select the master.
How to do the devices discovery?
The device discovery is based on layer2 broadcast, so all devices should be on the same layer without VLAN or port isolation.
Does ES series support as theSON Master?
No.
How master add the new devices to its network ?
When the new devices(default status) networkID is 0, master will automatically add them to its own network.
