WLAN networking and management method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of WLAN network, and particularly relates to WLAN networking and a management method thereof. Layered management is carried out on the WLAN networking in a layered mode. The WLAN networking is characterized by comprising a cloud management platform layer, a wireless switch layer and an AP antenna layer, wherein the cloud management platform layer serves as a top layer and is downwardly connected with the wireless switch layer; the wireless switch layer is downwardly connected with the AP antenna layer; and the AP antenna layer then manages a user end. The WLAN networking management method uses the WLAN networking for network management. Compared with the currently-used WLAN networking technology, obvious configuration centralized management and wireless user end free roaming can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of WLAN networks, in particular to a WLAN networking and a management method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the wireless network has developed vigorously, and the network scale of the wireless network is also growing day by day. From the initial few or dozens of APs (wireless Access Point, wireless access point) to form a wireless network, it has developed to a wireless network that includes the above Thousands or even thousands of APs. The expansion of the network scale means that the difficulty of network management and operation and maintenance increases. The management method of the wireless network has also developed from the initial single-point independent operation to the use of an AC (wireless Access Controller, wireless controller) device as the central management node, until the latest cloud-based management platform based on cloud technology. [0003] The existing wirel...

Problems solved by technology

However, this method has the following disadvantages: As the AC is the central node of the entire wireless network, all configuration management and data forwarding functions in the network are undertaken by it, so the AC can easily become the bottleneck node of the entire network

Disadvantages: In the wireless networking mode based on the cloud platform, the role of the cloud management platform is to authenticate the identity of the AP. In addition, the configuration management and distribution of the AP are performed through the cloud platform. In the network, the communication between each AP node The operation is independent, so it is difficult to realize services such as RRM radio resource management (Radio Resource Management) and roaming that require the participation of multiple APs
