Wireless access point safe authentication method and system

Abstract

Disclosed is a wireless access point safe authentication method and system. The method comprises transmitting a discovery request message from a wireless access point to a wireless controller; receiving the discovery request message from the wireless controller, analyzing the discovery request message to obtain the serial number and the MAC (media access control) address of the wireless access point, and transmitting a discovery responding message to the wireless access point; receiving the discovery responding message from the wireless access point and analyzing the discovery responding message to obtain the IP (Internet protocol) address information of the wireless controller, binding the IP address information with the wireless controller, and transmitting a connection request message to the wireless controller; after receiving the connection request message from the wireless controller, determining whether the serial number and the MAC address of the wireless access point are matched with a prestored serial number and a prestored MAC address; if so, establishing a communication channel between the wireless controller and the wireless access point. By taking that whether the serial number and the MAC address of the wireless access point are matched as the access basis, the wireless access point safe authentication method and system prevents unallowed wireless access points from access to the wireless controller, thereby improving the authentication accuracy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a method and system for security authentication of a wireless access point. Background technique [0002] CAPWAP (Control and Provision for Wireless Access Point Protocol, Wireless Access Point Control and Configuration Protocol) protocol is a general encapsulation and transmission mechanism proposed to deal with the intercommunication between wireless access points and wireless controllers from different manufacturers. The CAPWAP protocol defines how control and data packets are exchanged between the wireless access point and the wireless controller. [0003] One wireless controller can manage multiple wireless access points, that is, the wireless controller can connect with multiple wireless access points. With the development of wireless local area networks, more and more wireless access points are deployed, so other wireless access points that are not allowed ...
