Embodiment Construction

[0047] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that APs cannot be managed uniformly in a network without additional ACs, an embodiment of the present invention proposes an AP management method and AP equipment in a network without an AC. In this technical solution, the first received DHCP response message is determined by sending a DHCP broadcast message to the network to be accessed, and the AP that sends the DHCP response message is used as the inserted AP for this access network, Establish connections with the plug-in AP and the second AP connected to the plug-in AP to access the network, and receive the configuration information sent by any AP in the network, and perform self-configuration, thereby realizing the network without adding an AC. , APs can manage each other.

[0048] The main realization principles, specific implementation methods and corresponding beneficial effects of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be described...

Abstract

The invention discloses a management method for an AP (access point) in an AC (access controller)-free network and AP equipment, and solves the problem that APs cannot be managed uniformly in a network without an additionally arranged AC in the prior art. The method comprises the steps: sending a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) broadcasting message to a network to be accessed to determine a DHCP response message which is received earliest; taking an AP which sends the DHCP response message as an insertion AP of the accessed network this time; accessing the network by respectively establishing connection with the insertion AP and a second AP connected with the insertion AP; receiving configuration information sent by any AP in the network for carrying out self-configuration, and thus, realizing mutual management between APs in the network without the additionally arranged AC.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wireless local area network management, in particular to an access point (Access point, AP) management method and AP equipment in a network without an access controller (Access Controller, AC). Background technique [0002] In a wireless local area network (Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN), a station (Station, STA) accesses the network through an access point (Access point, AP). [0003] Currently, APs can be divided into two categories: centrally managed APs (also called thin APs) and independently managed APs (also called fat APs). Among them, under the thin AP, the AP needs to connect to the access controller (Access Controller, AC) through the Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Point Protocol (CAPWAP), and the AC performs unified management on the AP. , debugging and control, it cannot work independently and must be used in conjunction with AC. In the case of fat APs, each AP can ...
