In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "e.g.," is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present relevant concepts in a concrete fashion for ease of understanding.

In the description of the present application, "/" indicates a relationship in which the objects linked before and after are "or", for example, a/B may indicate a or B; in the present application, "and/or" is only an association relationship describing an associated object, and means that there may be three relationships, for example, a and/or B, and may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone, wherein A and B can be singular or plural. Also, in the description of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more than two unless otherwise specified. "at least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of the singular or plural items. For example, at least one (one) of a, b, or c, may represent: a, b, c, a-b, a-c, b-c, or a-b-c, wherein a, b, c may be single or multiple.

In the embodiments of the present application, at least one may also be described as one or more, and a plurality may be two, three, four or more, which is not limited in the present application.

Before describing embodiments of the present application, the terms referred to in the present application will be explained.

A site refers to a device deployed on a user side in a network and providing services to users. A site is a description of a role or function that is essentially a network device. For example, a station may be an AP device or a switch device as illustrated in fig. 1 a.

The registration of the network device refers to a process that the network device acquires configuration information of the network device as a site from a network controller through application, and then performs online serving as the site according to the acquired configuration information.

As described above, before the network device is registered, it is often necessary to manually enter the serial number of the network device into the corresponding site on the network controller side in advance, and then the network device automatically initiates a registration application to the network controller when registering, the network controller verifies the serial number after receiving the registration application, and if the serial number is successfully verified, the configuration information corresponding to the serial number is issued to the network device, so that the network device registers according to the configuration information. However, the number of network devices is large, the serial numbers of the network devices are manually entered into the network controller one by one, the operation is complicated, errors are easy to occur, and the efficiency is low, so that the registration efficiency of the network devices is low.

There is also a technical solution of no serial number entry, for example, in a DHCP server (usually served by an egress gateway device), the proprietary information of a station is written into a DHCP Option, and the proprietary information is generated by a network controller and represents the uniqueness of the station. Therefore, the network equipment can acquire the exclusive information of the station to which the network equipment belongs while automatically acquiring the IP of the network equipment on the DHCP server. When the network equipment is registered, the acquired exclusive information of the site to which the network equipment belongs is reported to the controller, the controller automatically belongs the network equipment to the corresponding site according to the exclusive information, and then configuration information of the site is issued to the network equipment for the network equipment registration. However, by configuring the exclusive information of the station for network device acquisition in the DHCP Option, there is a scenario limitation depending on the configurability of the DHCP server.

In view of this, the present application provides a method for registering a network device, which has the following basic principles: the network equipment initiates registration to a network controller based on first coordinate information indicating the geographical position of the network equipment, the network controller verifies the network equipment according to the received first coordinate information and stored coordinate information of the sites, acquires the first sites matched with the received first coordinate information, and then sends configuration information of the network equipment corresponding to the first sites to the network equipment. Because the coordinate information of the first station can be preconfigured in the network controller, and the first coordinate information of the network device can be obtained by the network device in real time before registration, the network device registration can be realized without manually inputting the serial number of the network device in the network controller one by one, and the registration efficiency of the network device is improved.

The network controller 11 verifies the network device 12 in the registration process, and after the verification passes, issues configuration information corresponding to a site deployed at the location where the network device 12 is located to the network device. After the network device 12 acquires the configuration information, the network device 12 is configured according to the acquired configuration information, so that the network device 12 serves as a site to provide network services to a user.

7. Network device 12 sends coordinate information to network controller 11 to initiate registration.

The network device 12 and the network controller 11 may specifically communicate through a wired network, and after receiving the coordinate information of the current geographical location of the mobile terminal 13, the network device 12 acquires an IP address of the network device 12, and then sends the coordinate information indicating the geographical location of the network device to the network controller 11 through the IP address, where the coordinate information is the coordinate information of the current geographical location acquired by the mobile terminal 13.

8. The network controller 11 authenticates the network device 12 based on the coordinate information.

The network controller may store the coordinate information of a station in correspondence with the configuration information corresponding to the station.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, specific locations where the network controller stores the coordinate information of each station and the configuration information corresponding to each station are not limited, and the network controller may only be required to obtain the coordinate information.

The coordinate information of the station may specifically be a central position of the network area to be installed, or an installation position of the network device in the network area to be installed, and for example, the coordinate information may specifically be a coordinate position of a gateway, a position of a wireless route, a position of a switch, and the like in the network area to be installed, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

The embodiment of the present application does not have any limitation and details on the process of creating a site.

After the network deployment is successful, the user takes the local network equipment, powers on the network equipment and registers the network equipment, and after the registration is successful, the local network equipment of the user is used as a site of the position, and better network service is provided for the user through the network controller.

The embodiment of the application provides a registration method of network equipment, which can be applied to the process of registering the network equipment to a network controller. The embodiment of the present application takes the interaction between a network device and a network controller as an example, and details the scheme provided by the present application.

As shown in fig. 4, the registration method of a network device provided by the present application may include:

401. the network device obtains first coordinate information indicating a geographic location of the network device.

In this embodiment, the network device may specifically be an AP, a switch, a gateway, and other network devices.

The first coordinate information indicates a geographic location, and the first coordinate information may be a longitude and latitude coordinate, or a coordinate form, or other information indicating a coordinate, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Alternatively, the network device may obtain the first coordinate information indicating the geographic location of the network device in various ways, and several ways of obtaining the first coordinate information indicating the geographic location of the network device are provided below, but are not limited in particular.

In a possible implementation manner, the network device itself does not have a positioning function, and the network device obtains the first coordinate information through a second network device connected to the network device. The second network device is connected to the network device in a short distance, and the geographical locations of the second network device and the network device can be considered to be the same.

For example, the second network device may be a mobile terminal with a positioning function, the mobile terminal performs positioning to acquire first coordinate information indicating a geographic location of the mobile terminal and sends the first coordinate information to a network device connected to the mobile terminal, and the network device receives the first coordinate information sent by the mobile terminal and uses the first coordinate information as the first coordinate information indicating the geographic location of the network device, which may be implemented with reference to the process illustrated in subsequent fig. 8 and is not described herein again.

For example, the second network device may be a device connected to a location-enabled device. For example, the second network device is a wireless access device. And the second network equipment receives the first coordinate information acquired by positioning the equipment connected with the second network equipment and sends the first coordinate information to the network equipment. The process of the second network device obtaining the first coordinate information through the positioning device connected thereto may also refer to the process illustrated in fig. 8, and is not described herein again.

In another possible implementation manner, the network device has a positioning function, and in 401, the network device may obtain, by using a positioning technology, first coordinate information indicating a geographical location of the network device.

402. The network device sends first coordinate information indicating a geographical location of the network device to the network controller.

Specifically, at 402, the network device may send first coordinate information indicating a geographical location of the network device to the network controller according to a domain name of the network controller. The domain name may be built into the network device.

The network device may further obtain an IP address uniquely pointing to the network device, and when first coordinate information indicating the geographical location of the network device is sent to the network controller after the IP address of the network device is obtained, the network device may carry the IP address, so that the network controller may feed back configuration information to the network controller.

In a possible implementation manner, the network device has a network device IP address built therein.

In a possible implementation manner, the network device may dynamically acquire the IP address of the network device through a connected DHCP server. Alternatively, the network device may obtain the IP address of the network device input by the user in its interactive interface, or in the interactive interface of the mobile terminal connected thereto.

Further, the network device may send first coordinate information indicating a geographical location of the network device to the network controller through a connection port with the network controller.

As an embodiment, the network device is an AP device illustrated in fig. 1a, and a hardware structure of the AP device may be as shown in fig. 5, and mainly includes a CPU, a RAM, a wired network port, and a radio frequency chip. After the radio frequency chip receives data sent by the mobile terminal from the air interface side, the CPU processes and analyzes the received data to obtain first coordinate information of the current geographic position of the mobile terminal, the first coordinate information is packaged into a registration message, and the registration message carrying the first coordinate information can be sent to the network controller through the wired network port.

As an embodiment, the network device is the switch device illustrated in fig. 1a, and a hardware structure of the switch device may be as shown in fig. 6, and mainly includes a CPU, a RAM, a wired network port, and a network forwarding chip. After receiving the message from the network forwarding chip, the switch analyzes TLV (type length value) through the CPU to obtain first coordinate information, and encapsulates the first coordinate information into a registration message, and the registration message carrying the first coordinate information may be sent to the network controller through the wired network port.

403. The network controller receives first coordinate information which is sent by the network equipment and indicates the geographic position of the network equipment.

404. The network controller acquires a first site matched with the received first coordinate information.

The first site corresponds to configuration information of the network device.

It should be understood that, when the coordinate information of the first site is matched with the first coordinate information of the network device, the network device may be considered to be located at the geographic location of the deployed first site, and may be registered according to the configuration information corresponding to the first site, so as to serve as the first site to provide the network service to the user.

The coordinate information matching indicates a coordinate error to be considered when the network device is verified, and the error range comprehensively considers the error of the positioning technology and the factors of the site area. For example, if the satellite positioning error is 10 meters (meter, M) and the site area is 10m × 10m, the network controller side may allow the coordinate information error to reach 20 meters.

In a possible implementation manner, the matching of the coordinate information may be: an error of the first coordinate information from the coordinate information of the first station is less than or equal to a first threshold.

In another possible implementation manner, the matching of the coordinate information may be: the distance between the geographic position indicated by the first coordinate information and the geographic position indicated by the coordinate information of the first station is smaller than or equal to a second threshold value.

The first threshold and the second threshold may be configured according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. For example, the first threshold and the second threshold may be determined according to the error of the positioning technology itself and the site area, and the larger the error of the positioning technology and the site area is, the larger the setting of the first threshold and the second threshold is required to be; conversely, the smaller the error of the positioning technique and the site area, the smaller the setting of the first threshold and the second threshold is required.

In another possible implementation manner, the matching of the coordinate information may be: the first station is located in a first area, and the first area comprises the geographic position indicated by the first coordinate information.

For example, the first region may be a regular region or an irregular region centered on the geographic location of the network device to allow for error radiation.

For example, the first area may be an area to be covered that contains the geographic location of the network device.

For example, in a network scene of a certain supermarket, a site B is set in an area a where the supermarket is located, the area a where the supermarket is located is an area to be covered, and if a certain network device is located at a point C in the area a, first coordinate information of the point C of the network device is matched with coordinate information of the site B.

405. The network controller sends configuration information of the network device to the network device.

Specifically, the network controller in 405 sends the stored configuration information corresponding to the first site as the configuration information of the network device to the network device according to the address (for example, IP address) of the network device.

406. The network device receives the configuration information of the network device sent by the network controller.

407. And the network equipment registers the network equipment as a site according to the received configuration information.

For this embodiment, the network device may perform network configuration according to the configuration information, and then register the network device as a website, so that other mobile devices may connect to the internet through the website.

It should be noted that, the steps included in the method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be configured in an execution order according to actual requirements, and the drawing only illustrates one possible execution order, and does not constitute a limitation on the execution order of each step.

According to the registration method of the network device, the network controller verifies the network device through the first coordinate information of the network device, and then sends the configuration information for registration to the network device, and since the coordinate information of the station can be preconfigured in the network controller, the first coordinate information of the network device can be obtained by the network device in real time before registration.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 7, after 404, the method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include 408.

408. And the network controller sends verification passing prompt information to the network equipment.

In an embodiment provided by the present invention, if the network controller acquires the first site matched with the first coordinate information, it indicates that the network device is successfully registered, and sends a verification passing prompt message to the network device, so as to improve user experience.

409. The network equipment receives the prompt message that the verification is passed.

Optionally, if the network device is the first coordinate information acquired by the mobile terminal, 409 then the network device forwards the verification-passing prompt information to the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal displays the verification-passing prompt information to the user through the human-computer interaction interface.

Further optionally, after 403, as shown in fig. 7, the method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include 410.

410. The network controller judges whether a site with coordinate information matched with the first coordinate information of the network equipment exists.

In 410, if there is a first site whose coordinate information matches the first coordinate information of the network device, execute 404; if there is no site whose coordinate information matches the first coordinate information of the network device, go to 411.

411. The network controller sends authentication failure information to the network device.

And verifying the failure information to prompt the user that the registration fails, and after the user can adjust the operation, restarting the registration process.

Further, to facilitate management and maintenance of each station configured in the network controller, the method provided in this embodiment may further include 412.

412. The network device sends the network controller a serial number of the network device.

413. The network controller receives the serial number of the network device sent by the network device.

Wherein the serial number of the network device is used to uniquely identify the network device,

414. the network controller associates the first station with a serial number of the network device.

In one implementation, the network controller in 413 may store the serial number of the network device as information of the first station, so as to associate the first station with the serial number of the network device.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the location where the network controller stores the serial number of the network device is not limited.

Further optionally, the scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application may be applied to an operation scenario.

For example, a site to which the network device belongs is set in advance on the network controller side, and the network controller may determine whether the location of the network device conforms to the plan according to the first coordinate information sent by the network device.

For example, after acquiring the first station whose coordinate information matches the first coordinate information of the network device in 404, the network controller determines whether the first station is a preset station to which the network device belongs. If the first station is a preset station to which the network device belongs, 405 is executed. If the first site is not the preset site to which the network equipment belongs, an error prompt is sent, and an administrator of the network controller modifies the site to which the network equipment belongs in the network controller, or adjusts the geographical position of the network equipment.

Specifically, the identity of the network device can be distinguished through the serial number, so that the network device in the network controller can be managed and maintained conveniently.

Fig. 8 is a flowchart of another registration method for a network device according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 8, the method may include:

801. the mobile terminal receives a registration request of a user.

Specifically, the mobile terminal may be a mobile terminal used by a person who opens a station of the network device, or may be a mobile terminal installed with an application having a registration authority of the network device, or another mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal is connected with the network equipment to be registered, and the mobile terminal can be connected with the network equipment to be registered through short-distance communication technologies such as wireless network and Bluetooth.

For example, the network device has a wireless function, and after being powered on, the network device sends a default SSID name, where the format of the default SSID name may be: fixed prefix + MAC. For example, ssid-xxx-default-MAC, where xxx may be abbreviated as the equipment manufacturer name. The network device may provide the mobile terminal with IP address assignment, basic network services such as HTTPS, and login configuration of the mobile terminal based on the default SSID. The mobile terminal can be connected with the network equipment in a wireless network mode through the default SSID of the network equipment.

Optionally, when the network device is successfully registered, the default SSID may be automatically turned off or hidden.

The user can receive the registration request of the user through an application program installed in the mobile terminal, the registration request can be started through a button function one key in the application program, the registration request of the user can be input through a voice function voice set in the application program, and the registration request can be triggered through a key set in the mobile terminal.

For example, as shown in fig. 9, in order to implement a main menu interface in the mobile terminal, a user may click on an icon 90 of a first application program to input an open instruction for the first application program. After the mobile terminal receives an opening instruction of the first application program from the user, the mobile terminal presents a main interface of the first application program to the user in response to the opening instruction of the first application program, as shown in fig. 10 a. Then, the mobile terminal may receive a registration request 1001 of the user for the first application, the mobile terminal responds to the registration request, the mobile terminal obtains first coordinate information of a current geographic location, and the mobile terminal sends the first coordinate information to the network device, where the first coordinate information indicates that the network device is registered as a site.

802. And responding to the registration request, the mobile terminal acquires the first coordinate information of the current geographical position and sends the first coordinate information of the current geographical position to the network equipment.

Optionally, the technologies adopted by the mobile terminal to acquire the coordinate information include, but are not limited to: satellite positioning technology (e.g., GPS, beidou, galileo, etc.), mobile base station positioning technology, or others.

Specifically, the mobile terminal may carry the first coordinate information in an extension protocol packet through an extension protocol in communication with the network device, and send the extension protocol packet.

Optionally, the extension protocol used for the mobile terminal and the network device to transmit the coordinate information may be diversified. For example, HTTPS protocol may be used to carry coordinate information of the geographical location of the network device in a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). For example, the SFTP protocol may also be used, and the coordinate information is written into a configuration file, and the configuration file is transferred to the network device through the SFTP protocol.

It should be noted that, if the mobile terminal detects multiple default SSIDs, the mobile terminal may sequentially connect to each SSID in a polling manner, thereby transmitting the first coordinate information to each network device.

For example, if the mobile terminal detects 2 default SSIDs, which are SSID1 and SSID2, respectively, the mobile terminal may first connect to SSID1, send the first coordinate information of the current geographical location acquired by the mobile terminal to the network device 1 corresponding to SSID1, feed back information to the mobile terminal after the network device 1 successfully receives the first coordinate information sent by the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal responds to the feedback information, then connect to SSID2, and send the first coordinate information of the current geographical location acquired by the mobile terminal to the network device 2 corresponding to SSID 2.

The feedback information may specifically include information whether the first coordinate information is successfully received, if the first coordinate information is unsuccessfully received after the first coordinate information is sent to the network device 1 corresponding to the SSID1, the content in the feedback information is that the first coordinate information is unsuccessfully received, the first coordinate information is sent again to the network device 1 corresponding to the SSID1 after the first coordinate information is sent to the network device 2 corresponding to the SSID2, that is, the SSIDs are sequentially connected in a polling manner, and the first coordinate information of the current geographical position of the mobile terminal is sent until all the network devices successfully receive the first coordinate information of the current geographical position of the mobile terminal.

Here, the present application does not specifically limit the sequence of SSID connection, that is, in the present embodiment, SSID signal strengths may be connected in the order from high to low, or SSID names may be connected in the order.

803. The network device determines the received first coordinate information as coordinate information indicating a geographical location of the network device.

The network device may then perform the methods illustrated in fig. 4 or fig. 7 to effect registration of the network device.

Further, corresponding to the foregoing step 409, after receiving the prompt message of passing the verification sent by the network controller, the network device may also send the prompt message of passing the verification to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal may display the prompt message of passing the verification. For example, the mobile terminal may present the user with an interface as shown in fig. 10b, including the verification-pass prompt 1002.

Further, for a network device that does not have a function of communicating with a device having a positioning function, as described above, the network device may acquire the first coordinate information through a second network device that has a function of communicating with the device having a positioning function. For example, the second network device may acquire the first coordinate information through the processes 801 to 803 and then transmit the acquired first coordinate information to a network device that does not have a communication function with a device having a positioning function, and the network device uses the received first coordinate information as coordinate information indicating a geographical location of the network device.

For example, in a complete medium-small campus network, network devices supporting wireless communication technology may all obtain first coordinate information indicating a geographic location of the network device through a mobile terminal, and for network devices without wireless communication technology capability (e.g., an exchange), after obtaining the first coordinate information through the mobile terminal, the network device with wireless communication technology capability (e.g., an AP device) may transmit the obtained first coordinate information to the network device without wireless communication technology capability through an extended protocol. Similarly, the switch may also transfer the received first coordinate information to other network devices through the extension protocol.

The extended protocol for the AP device to communicate the first coordinate information to the switch may adopt an LLDP protocol, in which a TLV field is extended, as shown in table 1 below, where TLV Type is used to indicate longitude or latitude in the first coordinate information, such as indicating longitude by 001, latitude by 002, TLV Length represents a data Length of the longitude or latitude, and TLV Value represents a specific Value of the longitude or latitude.
