Message processing method and equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a message processing method and equipment used for improving the storage capacity of an authentication switch. The method is applied in authentication equipment; the authentication equipment comprises at least one distributed gateway with different MAC (Media Access Control) addresses; the method comprises the following steps: receiving a network access message sent by shunt equipment by a first distributed gateway in the authentication equipment, wherein a destination MAC address carried in the network access message is the same as the MAC address of the first distributed gateway; determining whether a first terminal corresponding to the network access message is an authenticated terminal by the first distributed gateway; and if the first distributed gateway determines that the first terminal is the authenticated terminal, then matching a default route for the network access message, and sending the network access message to the shunt equipment, so that the shunt equipment can send the network access message to an external network, wherein the default route points to the shunt equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communications, in particular to a message processing method and device. Background technique [0002] At present, when a terminal is connected to a local area network (Local Area Network, LAN), the terminal needs to be authenticated, and the authentication process can be completed through a core switch. Wherein, the authentication information of the terminal is stored in the core switch, and the authentication information may include the terminal's Media Access Control (Media Access Control, MAC) address, Internet Protocol (Internet Protocol, IP) address, etc., and then the core switch can Determine whether the terminal is an authenticated terminal, and the terminal can use the LAN only after the authentication is completed. [0003] However, the authentication information stored in the current core switch is stored globally, that is, the core switch only includes a single card, so the capacity ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the authentication information stored in the current core switch is stored globally, that is, the core switch only includes a single card, so the capacity of the authentication information that the core switch can store is equal to the capacity of a single card. In the same way, when the number of terminals is large, the core switch of a single card obviously cannot meet the authentication requirements of the terminals

At present, the capacity of the core switch can be increased by upgrading the capacity of the board, but this method obviously has great limitations and still cannot meet the needs of some large-capacity user scenarios
