Embodiment 1

[0036] In order to solve the problems of complex and error-prone manual configuration of the static IP address of the wireless access point AP in the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention provides an AP configuration method, which can effectively complete the initial configuration process of the AP At the same time, a mapping table containing AP MAC address, IP address, name, and location identification information will be maintained to facilitate later maintenance and management.

[0037] see figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a configuration method of a wireless access point, which is applied to a configuration server, including:

[0038] Step 101, configure the scope, gateway address and AC address of the IP address pool of the dynamic host configuration protocol DHCP, create a mapping table with the number of rows equal to the number of IP addresses in the IP address pool, and fill in the mapping table item Enter the AP name a...

Embodiment 2

[0048] see figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a configuration method of a wireless access point AP, which is applied to a wireless access point, including:

[0049] Step 201, send a DHCP discovery message after startup, and receive a DHCP response message sent by a configuration server, and obtain configuration information including an IP address, an AP name, a corresponding AP location identifier, and an AC address carried in the DHCP response message ;

[0050] Step 202, sending a DHCP request message carrying the configuration information in the DHCP response message to the configuration server, and confirming that the received DHCP confirmation message sent by the configuration server contains the IP address, AP name and corresponding AP When identifying the location, convert the dynamically obtained IP address to the IP address carried in the DHCP confirmation message, save and execute the configuration operation.

[0051] The embodimen...

Embodiment 3

[0053] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a configuration server, such as image 3 As shown, the configuration server 30 includes:

[0054] The configuration module 301 is used to configure the scope of the IP address pool of the dynamic host configuration protocol DHCP, the gateway address and the AC address, create a mapping table with the number of rows equal to the number of IP addresses in the IP address pool, and create a mapping table in the mapping table Add the AP name and the corresponding AP location identifier in the item.

[0055] DHCP message transceiver module 302, after receiving the DHCP discovery message that wireless access point AP sends, selects an unallocated IP address from the IP address pool, selects an unallocated AP name and name from the mapping table For the corresponding AP location identifier, the configuration information including the selected IP address, AP name, corresponding AP location identifier, and AC address is fille...

Abstract

The invention discloses an AP (Access Point) configuration method. The method comprises the steps of manually configuring the range of an IP (Internet Protocol) address pool of a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP, a gateway address and an AC (Access Controller) address by a configuration server; and generating a mapping table, wherein the number of rows of the mapping table is equal to the number of IP addresses in the IP address pool, and manually filling in an AP name and an AP location identifier in the mapping table. The invention further provides the configuration server, an AP and an AP configuration system. The AP configuration method, the configuration server, the AP and the system provided by the invention have the following beneficial effects: the accuracy of IP address allocation can be ensured by the protocol, IP address conflict and waste can be avoided, and an MAC address, an IP address, a name and location identifier information of the AP form the mapping table, thereby facilitating post maintenance, greatly simplifying a process of AP initialization configuration, saving time and reducing the maintenance cost. And besides, the AP configuration method provided by the invention can configure a plurality of APs simultaneously, so as to avoid the complexity of powering on a single AP and configuring the AP in turn.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of data communication, and in particular relates to a configuration method of a wireless access point AP, a configuration server, an AP and a system. Background technique [0002] In the wireless local area network, the AP ((Access Point, wireless access point) needs to obtain an IP address that can be routed to the AC (Access Controller, wireless controller). After registering with the AC, it applies the wireless configuration issued by the AC to provide wireless Service. Although the AP can dynamically obtain the IP address and AC address through DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, dynamic host configuration protocol), and implement zero-configuration online, the dynamically obtained IP address cannot be guaranteed to remain unchanged. Maintenance poses certain difficulties. [0003] During the deployment of a large-scale wireless LAN, for the convenience of later maintenance, APs need to manually configure ...
