Customer premise equipment and configuration method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides customer premise equipment. The customer premise equipment comprises a classification module, a configuration request module, an analysis module, a determination module and a configuration module, wherein the classification module sends an attribute classification request package to a RADIUS server and receives an attribute classification response package of the RADIUS server, and classifies a plurality of attributes and constructs a dendritical structure according to the classification of the plurality of attributes at the same time; the configuration request module sends a configuration request package to the RADIUS server to request configuration and receives a configuration response package of the RADIUS server; the analysis module analyzes the configuration response package so as to acquire the attribute values in the configuration response package, and storing the attribute values at the nodes of the dendritical structure; the determination module determines the correctness of the attribute values stored at the nodes in order; and the configuration module configures the attribute values which are determined as correct. The invention also provides a configuration method of the customer premise equipment. The configuration method can improve the efficiency for configuration of the customer premise equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication, in particular, to a configuration method and user terminal equipment using a remote identity authentication dial-in user service protocol (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service Protocol, RADIUS for short) server. Background technique [0002] RADIUS is an industry standard protocol described in RFC2865 "RADIUS" and RFC2866 "RADIUS Accounting". Its purpose is to perform authentication and accounting for dial-up users. Later, after several improvements, a common authentication and accounting protocol was formed. [0003] RADIUS is a client (Client) / server (Server) structure protocol. Its client is originally a network access server (Network Access Server, referred to as NAS). Now any computer running NAS software can become a RADIUS client. . The RADIUS protocol authentication mechanism is flexible and is an extensible protocol. All its work is based on the triplet of Attribute-Length-V...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, during the configuration process of the client device, due to human negligence and possible attack tampering during the packet delivery process, the attributes and attribute values ​​received by the client device from the RADIUS server are wrong. In this case, One way is to ignore the wrong attribute value and configure with the correct attribute value. However, there is a certain correlation between each attribute, so the configuration also has a certain order. If only the correct attribute value is used for configuration, It may cause damage to the function of the client device due to the out-of-order configuration

Another way is to discard all received attributes and re-request configuration if there is an error in the received attributes, which results in low configuration efficiency
