Embodiment Construction

[0092] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0093] The core idea of ​​the present invention is to extract the management function of the AC to the AP in the AC cluster, only retain the control function of the AC to the AP, and unify the management function of the AC to the AP in the network management device, thereby ensuring the overall uniformity of the configuration of the AP .

[0094] figure 1 It is the system architecture diagram based on the present invention, such as figure 1 As shown in , the system mainly includes: cloud AC cluster, network management device, LB (load balancer) and AP. Among them, the network management device, LB and cloud AC cluster are all set in the cloud, and the network management device, LB and cloud AC cluster can be located on the same server, or they c...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method, apparatus and system for configuring APs (Access Point). The method includes the following steps that: after receiving the configuration request of the APs, cloud access controllers (AC) request a network management apparatus and obtains configuration information for the APs; and the cloud access controllers (AC) transmit the acquired configuration information to the APs through configuration responses. According to the method, apparatus and system of the invention, management on the APs is carried out by the network management device in a unified manner, the configuration information of the APs is not required to be configured on all ACs in a could AC cluster, and it only needs to configure the configuration information of the APs in the network management apparatus and issue the configuration information to the ACs associated with the APs, and therefore, configuration difficulty and maintenance cost can be decreased.

Description

[0001] 【Technical field】 [0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method, device and system for configuring an AP. [0003] 【Background technique】 [0004] WLAN (Virtual Local Area Network, Wireless Local Area Networks) is mainly composed of AC (Access Controller, wireless controller) and AP (Access Point, wireless access point), in which AC is responsible for managing and controlling AP, and AP provides a bridge between wireless clients and LAN Features. [0005] Today, as WLAN networks gradually become independent networks, cloud AC is the development trend of AC in the future. The so-called cloud AC is to put the AC management and control functions in the cloud, that is, deploy an AC cluster in the cloud, and each AC in the AC cluster can Embodied as a virtual AC (vAC). All APs can share the AC cluster. This architecture has the characteristics of low cost, easy management, virtualization, and scalable netw...
