S101, supplying power to the network interface device, and detecting whether the function of the plug port is normal.

Specifically, in the initial stage of supplying power to the network interface device 100, the network cable connector 200 is not plugged into the plug port 11 of the network interface device 100, it is first required to detect whether the function of the plug port 11 is normal, and further, if the network interface device 100 includes a plurality of network interface bodies 1, the network interface device 100 will detect the plug port 11 corresponding to each network interface body 1, and at the same time, will number each network interface body 1 to implement detection of the state of each plug port 11.

S102, after detecting that the function of the plugging port is normal, controlling the locking piece to move to the locking position so as to physically lock the plugging port.

Specifically, when detecting that the function of the jack port 11 of the corresponding network interface main body 1 is normal, the network interface device 100 controls the locking member 2 corresponding to the network interface main body 1 to move to the locking position, so as to realize the physical locking of the jack port 11 in the network interface main body 1 by the locking member 2, that is, before inserting the network cable connector 200 into the jack port 11, the jack port 11 with normal function is locked by default, and the jack port 11 is in a disabled state, so that the network cable connector 200 to be inserted can be blocked, and the unauthorized network cable connector 200 is prevented from being inserted into the jack port 11, thereby being beneficial to improving data security, and also realizing the active protection function of the network interface device 100.

According to the security protection method of the network interface device in the second aspect of the present application, the physical locking of the jack port 11 can be achieved before the jack port 11 is inserted into the network cable connector 200, and the unauthorized network cable connector 200 can be prevented from being inserted into the jack port 11, so that the data security is improved, and the active protection function of the network interface device 100 is achieved.

In some embodiments of the application, the method further comprises controlling the stop member to stop the locking member in the locked position after controlling the locking member to move to the locked position.

Specifically, when the network interface device 100 needs to use one or more docking ports 11, it is necessary to first obtain an authorization signal for plugging into the network cable connector 200, for example, the authorization signal may be sent to the network interface device 100 by a host, a handheld PDA, a mobile phone, or the like, and after the network interface device 100 receives the authorization signal for plugging into the network cable connector 200, the network interface device 100 controls the movement of the limiting member 3 in the corresponding network interface main body 1 according to the authorization signal, so that the limiting member 3 stops limiting the locking member 2, and then controls the locking member 2 to move to the unlocking position until it is detected that the network cable connector 200 is plugged into the docking port 11. It should be noted that, if the insertion of the network cable connector 200 into the socket port 11 is not detected within the authorized time, the locking member 2 is controlled to move to the locking position again and the limiting member 3 is controlled to limit the locking member 2 to the locking position, that is, the active defense function of the network interface device 100 is restored, so that the active defense failure caused by the long-time non-insertion of the network cable connector 200 can be avoided.

It should be noted that, when the network cable connector 200 is required to be pulled out and the plug-in port 11 is disabled, the network interface device 100 responds to the authorization signal of pulling out the network cable connector 200, controls the limiting member 3 to stop limiting the locking member 2, controls the locking member 2 to move to the unlocking position so as to pull out the current network cable connector 200 from the plug-in port 11, and when the network interface device 100 detects that the network cable connector 200 of the plug-in port 11 is pulled out, controls the locking member 2 to move to the locking position again and controls the limiting member 3 to limit the locking member 2 to the locking position, i.e. resumes the active defense function of the network interface device 100.

When each plug port 11 needs to be tested, the software end selects a test mode, and all or designated plug ports 11 are kept in an unlocked state in an authorized time, and the automatic locking action is closed. The process software end logic is network opening, network monitoring, test ending (manual operation), active defense state (default state), and judging to keep the unlock state until the test ending, and then reverting to the active defense state.
