Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and an apparatus for probing a fronthaul topology. The method includes: sending, by a baseband device, a source route probe frame; receiving a destination route probe frame, where the destination route probe frame is formed after a first transport network device records first port information in the source route probe frame and a second transport network device records second port information in the source route probe frame; and determining, by the baseband device, probe information according to the destination route probe frame, and sending the probe information to an element management system EMS.

Claim (Index 8):
A baseband device, comprising:\n a transceiver configured to:\n send a source route probe frame to a first transport network device in a transport network, wherein the source route probe frame is sent to a radio frequency device by using the transport network, \n receive a destination route probe frame sent by the first transport network device, wherein the destination route probe frame is formed after the first transport network device records first port information in the source route probe frame and a second transport network device in the transport network records second port information in the source route probe frame, the first port information indicates an input port of the first transport network device and that is connected to a target port of the baseband device, and the second port information indicates an output port of the second transport network device and that is connected to a receive port of the radio frequency device; \n a processor configured to:\n determine probe information according to the destination route probe frame, wherein the probe information indicates that the target port of the baseband device is connected to the input port of the first transport network device, and that the output port of the second transport network device is connected to the receive port of the radio frequency device; and \n wherein the transceiver is further configured to:\n send the probe information to an element management system (EMS).
