AP upgrading method and device thereof

Abstract

The present invention provides an AP upgrading method applied to an upgrading server. The method comprises the following steps of (A) regularly collecting the resource utilization rate of an upgrading server and the AP information of upgrading, (B) judging whether the upgrading AP state of the upgrading server is saturated according to the AP information of upgrading if the condition that the resource utilization rate is smaller than a first preset threshold value is detected, if so, going to step (C), otherwise going to step (D), (C) controlling the upgrading AP number of the upgrading server according to the resource utilization rate and the AP information of upgrading, (D) issuing an upgrading packet to the AP and notifying the AP to carry out upgrading. According to the AP upgrading method, the problem of large pressure of the upgrading server caused by a large number of AP upgrading can be effectively alleviated, and the stable completion of upgrading even with thousands of APs is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to an AP upgrading method and device. Background technique [0002] At present, wireless networks have become ubiquitous, and you can find a bunch of wireless signals wherever you take out your mobile phone. Home wireless deployment only needs a wireless router, but wireless deployment in large-scale places such as factories and schools must use AC (Access Controller or Wireless Access Point Controller), that is, wireless controller, and AP (Access Point or Wireless Access Point), that is, wireless access point. [0003] Deploying a wireless network in the form of ACs and APs is the process of using APs for wireless coverage and then using ACs for unified management of APs. The process of the AC's unified management of the APs includes AP version upgrades. One of the problems is how to upgrade hundreds or even thousands of APs in an orderly manner. However, the CA...

Problems solved by technology

However, the CAPWAP protocol stipulates the way for the AC to upgrade the version of the AP, but it does not take into account the pressure to upgrade the server. If hundreds or even thousands of APs are upgraded at the same time, it will inevitably cause pressure to upgrade the server. Once the upgrade server is paralyzed, It will cause the AP to go offline in a large area and cause data interruption.
