Configuration method of access point equipment, access controller and communication system

Abstract

The invention provides a configuration method of access point equipment, an access controller and a communication system. The method comprises the step of obtaining network accessing information of an AP, the step of generating a name of the AP according to the network accessing information, the step of sending the name to the AP to achieve the purpose of finishing the configuration of the name of the AP, and the step of configuring the AP based on the preset rule according to the name of the AP. According to the configuration method, by obtaining the network accessing information of the AP, the AP is automatically named according to the network accessing information of the AP, the AP is automatically configured according to the name of the AP, the problem that a large number of operators are needed to configure, plan and operate the AP in the existing wireless network deployment is avoided, the configuration workload of large-scale wireless network deployment is effectively reduced, and the configuring efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to communication technology, in particular to a configuration method of an access point device, an access controller and a communication system. Background technique [0002] With the wide application of WLAN, the scale of deployment continues to expand, and the Access Controller (AC for short) based on the Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Point Protocol (CAPWAP) The centralized control wireless network architecture of the access point device (Fit Access Point, thin AP for short) is accepted and popularized by the industry. APs (the APs in this article refer to thin APs) establish connections with ACs through the CAPWAP protocol, and the ACs centrally configure and manage all APs to achieve centralized control. [0003] In the centralized control wireless network architecture, for all APs that establish connections with the AC, the AC uses the MAC address of the AP as the unique identifier of the AP. For ease ...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, for the configuration workload of a large number of APs in the wireless LAN, although the manual operation of configuration can be reduced to a certain extent by running configuration scripts, it is still necessary to manually participate in the deployment planning of APs, and maintain the MAC addresses, deployment information and information of a large number of APs. Mapping relationship of AP names

At the same time, when the AP device needs to be replaced or the AP deployment position is changed in the network, the manual configuration operation also increases the interruption time of the wireless network server, which affects the high availability of the wireless network.
