[0029] Next, the embodiments of this specification will be described in detail.
[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1 to describe the system architecture to which the access point grouping method and apparatus according to the embodiments of this specification can be applied. It should be noted that Figure 1 The illustration shown is only an example of the system architecture to which the embodiments of this specification can be applied, to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of this specification, but it does not mean that the embodiments of this specification cannot be used in other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.
[0031] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the system architecture shown according to an exemplary embodiment of this specification.
[0032] As Figure 1 shown, the system architecture may include, for example, an AC (Access Controller), an AP (Access Point), an access switch, and a core switch.
[0033] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the AC can be used for centralized management of APs. The AP can be used to transmit wireless signals (such as Wi-Fi signals) to connect to terminal devices (such as mobile phones, laptops, etc.). The access switch can be used to provide POE (Power Over Ethernet). The core switch can act as a DHCP server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server) to assign IP addresses to APs.
[0034] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the APs managed by the AC can be distributed in multiple areas. The APs in the same area are required to have the same configuration, and the APs in different areas are required to have different configurations. For this reason, the AC can divide the APs in different areas into different AP groups to facilitate unified configuration of the APs in the same area through the AP groups.
[0035] In this regard, according to an embodiment of the present specification, the network addresses can be planned so that the IP addresses obtained by the APs under different access switches belong to different predetermined ranges respectively. When an AP with a certain IP address has a problem, it can be determined which access switch the AP is under according to the predetermined range to which the IP address belongs.
[0036] The access point grouping method provided by the embodiment of the present specification will be described in detail below. As Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 is a flowchart of an access point grouping method shown according to an exemplary embodiment of the present specification. The access point grouping method provided by the embodiment of the present specification may include the following steps.
[0037] In step 201, the AP obtains the device feature information of the neighbor device.
[0038] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the neighbor device may include an access switch adjacent to the AP. The device feature information can be used to identify the neighbor device.
[0039] In step 202, the AP sends an Internet Protocol IP address acquisition request to the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, and the IP address acquisition request includes the device feature information.
[0040] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the IP address acquisition request can be used to request the DHCP server to allocate an IP address.
[0041] In step 203, the DHCP server receives the IP address acquisition request sent by the AP.
[0042] In step 204, the DHCP server determines the target sub-address segment corresponding to the device feature information from the sub-address segments of the address pool.
[0043] According to an embodiment of this specification, the address pool may include multiple sub-address segments, and each sub-address segment includes at least one IP address. Different neighbor devices may correspond to different sub-address segments. In this embodiment, the correspondence between the sub-address segments and the device characteristic information of the neighbor devices may be pre-configured in the DHCP server. The DHCP server may determine whether there is a target sub-address segment corresponding to the device characteristic information according to this correspondence. If there is a corresponding target sub-address segment, the DHCP server allocates an IP address to the AP according to the target sub-address segment. If no match is found, an IP address may be allocated according to other public addresses, and other public addresses may include, for example, the part of the address pool that has not been divided into sub-address segments. Thus, the AP can obtain an address within an expected address segment.
[0044] According to an embodiment of this specification, the address pool may be segmented in advance when configuring the address pool. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the area to which the AP belongs may be represented by the neighbor devices of each AP, and the address pool may be segmented according to the neighbor devices. For example, if the address pool is 192.168.0.0 / 16, the sub-address segment matching neighbor device 1 (corresponding to area 1) may be set to 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254, and the sub-address segment matching neighbor device 2 (corresponding to area 2) may be set to 192.168.2.0 - 192.168.2.254. It should be noted that the specific segmentation method may be selected according to actual needs, and this specification is not limited thereto.
[0045] In step 205, the DHCP server allocates a target IP address to the AP from the target sub-address segment.
[0046] Optionally, in addition to the IP address, the DHCP server may also allocate other network configuration information to the AP, such as the gateway, subnet mask, DNS (Domain Name Server), etc. This specification does not make specific limitations on this.
[0047] In step 206, the DHCP server sends an IP address allocation message to the AP, and the IP address allocation message includes the target IP address.
[0048] According to an embodiment of this specification, the IP address allocation message may be used to notify the AP of the allocated IP address, that is, the target IP address.
[0049] Optionally, in addition to the IP address, the IP address allocation message may also include other network configuration information allocated to the AP, such as the gateway, subnet mask, DNS, etc.
[0050] In step 207, the AP receives the IP address allocation message sent by the DHCP server.
[0051] In step 208, the AP sends a connection request to the access controller AC, and the connection request includes the target IP address.
[0052] According to the embodiments of this specification, the connection request can be used to request to establish a connection with the AC so as to access the AC.
[0053] In step 209, the AC receives the connection request sent by the AP.
[0054] In step 210, the AC establishes a connection with the AP according to the connection request, and divides the AP into an AP group according to the sub-address segment to which the target IP address belongs.
[0055] According to the embodiments of this specification, the AP can be divided into the AP group corresponding to the sub-address segment to which the target IP address belongs according to the corresponding relationship between the sub-address segment and the AP group.
[0056] Optionally, the AC can establish a connection with the AP according to the connection request, and the connection can include a CAPWAP tunnel connection for example.
[0057] According to the embodiments of this specification, the address pool is refined into multiple sub-address segments, and the multiple sub-address segments correspond to neighbor devices at multiple different locations one by one. Furthermore, the DHCP server can allocate an IP address to the AP according to the address segment corresponding to the neighbor device of the AP. Then, the AC can group the AP based on this IP address. Thus, the requirement that APs with the same network segment are divided into different groups according to their locations can be met.
[0058] Optionally, the device feature information includes at least one of the following information: the media access control (MAC) address of the neighbor device, interface information, device name, device model, and version information. According to other embodiments of this specification, the device feature information can also include other information that can be used to identify the neighbor device.
[0059] Optionally, the AP can obtain the device feature information of the neighbor device through the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) packet sent by the neighbor device. For example, the neighbor device can send an LLDP packet to the AP. After receiving the LLDP packet sent by the neighbor device, the AP can obtain the device feature information of the neighbor device from the LLDP protocol packet.
[0060] Optionally, the IP address acquisition request can be a DHCP packet. Based on this, the AP can write the device feature information into the custom field of the DHCP packet. When the DHCP receives the DHCP packet sent by the AP, it can obtain the device feature information from the custom field in the DHCP packet.
[0061] Optionally, the neighbor device of the AP can be an access switch. The entire network can divide the IP addresses according to the access switches, and divide the addresses of the same network segment into n segments, where n is a positive integer. Thus, when the AP in the network obtains an IP address, it can obtain the expected IP address, making the IP addresses of the APs uniform. In addition, the APs on the AC can enter different AP groups according to the n sub-address segments divided in the address pool, and the effect of grouping APs in the same network segment according to different locations can be achieved.
