Embodiment Construction

[0075] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0076] Figure 4 The flow chart of the MP configuration delivery method in the WLAN Mesh network provided by the embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0077] Step 400: Configure an MPP directly connected to the AC by wire in the WLAN Mesh network as a master MP, and configure each MP wirelessly connected to the AC as a clone MP.

[0078] Step 401: The mother MP starts up, discovers and associates with the AC through a wired connection, and downloads the configuration information of the clone MP from the AC; and, the mother MP performs a Mesh scan to find each clone MP.

[0079] Wherein, the configuration information of the clone MP is pre-configured on the AC specifically for the configuration information of the clone MP; or: the configuration information of the master ...

Abstract

The invention provides mesh points and a configuration and issuing method thereof in a WLN (Wireless Local Area Network) mesh network. The WLN mesh network comprises an origin MP (Mesh Point) which is an MPP (Mesh Portal Point) which is in wired direct connection with an AP (Access Point) and MPs which are in wireless direct connection with the AP are clone MPs. The configuration and issuing method for the mesh points in the WLN mesh network includes that the origin MP is started, the AC is found and interconnected through wired connection and the configuration information of the clone MPs is downloaded from the AC; also the origin MP discovers every clone MP through mesh scanning; and mesh connections between the origin MP and every clone MP are established and the configuration information of the clone MPs is transmitted to the clone MPs respectively through the mesh connections. According to the mesh points and the configuration and issuing method thereof in the WLN (Wireless Local Area Network) mesh network, the MPs can obtain self-configuration without establishing a CAPWAP channel with the AC.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wireless configuration, in particular to a mesh point (MP, Mesh Point) configuration sending method and MP in a wireless local area network (WLAN, Wireless Local Area Network) mesh network. Background technique [0002] When a large number of access points (APs, Access Points) are deployed in a WLAN, management tasks such as upgrading software and setting transmit power of APs will bring high operating costs to users. In order to solve this problem, a new trend has emerged in the development of WLAN applications such as enterprises: thin (Fit) AP architecture. That is, multiple APs are managed through a wireless controller (AC, Access Controller), and a certain tunneling protocol is used between APs and ACs, such as: CAPWAP, Controlling and Provisioning of Wireless Access Point) protocol for communication , the processing of wireless access packets is shared between the AP and the AC. [0003] T...
