1. A method for accessing a network by a network node, applied to a first network node having gained access to a preset network, comprising:
receiving a probe message broadcast by a second network node seeking access to the preset network, wherein the probe message carries a second Internet Protocol (IP) address of the second network node;
in response to that the probe message comprises a configuration mechanism identifier, unicasting, based on the second IP address, a reply message of the probe message to the second network node, wherein the reply message carries a first IP address of the first network node, and the first IP address is configured for establishing a network communication channel between the second network node and the first network node; and
sending network configuration information to the second network node through the network communication channel, wherein the network configuration information is configured to allow the second network node to access the preset network.
