Method, device and system for configuring and managing AP (Access Point) and medium

Abstract

The invention discloses a method, equipment and system for configuring and managing an AP (Access Point) and a medium. The method for managing an equipment end comprises the following steps of: establishing an original socket based on a data link layer and binding the original socket to a network card interface; sending a first data packet, wherein the first data packet comprises an MAC address and a broadcast address of the management equipment; receiving a second data packet sent by the wireless access node AP, wherein the second data packet comprises the MAC address of the AP; the management equipment sends a third data packet to the AP corresponding to the second data packet according to the MAC address, wherein the third data packet comprises a management API acquisition request; receiving a response message corresponding to the management API acquisition request, wherein the response message comprises an API interface list of the AP corresponding to the second data packet; and sending a fourth data packet to the AP corresponding to the second data packet according to the MAC address, wherein the fourth data packet comprises at least one API in the API interface list and a parameter corresponding to the API. The method is based on an original socket of a data link layer, and configuration can be carried out without depending on an IP address; and meanwhile, the IP address resource is also saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of AP configuration management, and in particular relates to a method, device, system and medium for configuring and managing APs. Background technique [0002] AP is the abbreviation of Access Point, which is the so-called "wireless access node". APs currently on the market usually support two modes, one is the thin AP mode and the other is the fat AP mode. The management of APs in both modes is managed and configured based on the upper layer protocol of the IP protocol. For example, an AP in thin mode is usually managed and configured through a common control and provisioning protocol for wireless access points (Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Protocol Specification, CAPWAP). APs in fat mode usually enter the UI interface through a browser for management and control, which is based on the http protocol, which is an upper-layer protocol based on the IP protocol. [0003] The premise of...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the existing AP configuration management depends on IP, the present invention provides a method, device, system and medium for configuring and managing AP, which is based on the raw socket of the data link layer and does not depend on the IP address It can be configured; at the same time, it also saves IP address resources
