Method for controlling wireless network switch

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling a wireless network switch. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) strategy group-based centralized configuration control, wherein the wireless network switch is used as a core, an Ethernet cable is used for connection and a wireless access point is used for an expanded framework; (2) strategy group-based centralized security control for subnets, wherein the security strategy is based on a group and the subnets can have own security mechanisms; and (3) intelligent control and enhanced control for an access end, wherein the wireless network switch with intelligent data packet processing capability is used as a core and a virtual AP and a wires access point are adopted. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages of gapless integrity, multiple security, high manageability, maintainability, high expandability and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a network control method, in particular to a control method of a wireless network switch. Background technique [0002] The traditional wireless network architecture is implemented by a network access point Access Point (abbreviated as AP). AP is a single-point device, that is to say, each AP has its own independent computing unit CPU, storage memory and management software. When we form a large and medium-sized network, there is not much correlation between these single points. It is precisely because of this feature that the traditional wireless network is very convenient in application scenarios such as hotspot areas and homes, because in these scenarios, there is no need for too many management, maintenance and security considerations. [0003] However, in enterprise-level applications, this traditional concept of wireless networks has encountered great challenges. This is concentrated in: [0004] (1) The system lacks i...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) The system lacks integration: integration with the enterprise wired network: due to the lack of system integration features of single-point equipment, it is difficult to achieve a seamless integration with the enterprise wired network when implementing the network architecture;

[0005] (2) The system lacks security: In the current wireless network integration, the most common security strategy is to use the dual methods of front-end data encryption and back-end authentication

However, these security measures can only protect the security of the network from the user's point of view, but cannot prevent the intrusion of wireless hackers, and the security risks of the network are great;

[0006] (3) The system lacks manageability and maintainability: single-point devices require enterprise network managers to set up, manage and maintain one by one. Wireless networks are causing big headaches for IT staff

Managing and maintaining a multi-node wireless network requires a lot of manpower;

[0007] (4) The system lacks scalability: the development of wireless network standards is rapid. Since the birth of the IEEE802.11 standard, 2-3 new wireless standards have been introduced almost every year

It is difficult to upgrade traditional wireless network products, not only because different wireless network standards use different wireless frequency generators, but also because Access Point cannot meet the increasing demand for network communication data rates in terms of computing performance and efficiency.
