Description

Address resource release method, device and system

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, device, and system for releasing an address resource.

Background technique

On a wireless network, after the user equipment is authenticated, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) packet can be sent to the DHCP server in two ways. One is local forwarding and the other is centralized forwarding. . In the local forwarding, the DHCP message sent by the user equipment is directly forwarded to the DHCP server by the access point (abbreviation: AP). In the centralized forwarding, the DHCP message sent by the user equipment is sent by the wireless AP. The controller (English: controller) is then forwarded by the controller to the DHCP server.

After the user equipment is authenticated, the DHCP server allocates an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the user equipment and determines the lease duration (English: lease duration). The IP address can only be used by the user equipment before the lease expires. That is, the user equipment cannot use the IP address before the lease expires, regardless of whether the user equipment uses the IP address. Since the number of IP addresses that can be assigned by the DHCP server is limited, when the IP address on the DHCP server is allocated, if a new user device is online, the user device will not get an IP address and cannot access the network, but some have already The IP address assigned to the user equipment is not actually used, but the lease of the IP address has not arrived yet, resulting in waste of IP address resources.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

The invention discloses an address resource release method, device and system for saving address resources. The details are described below separately.

Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for releasing an address resource according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the address resource release method may include the following steps.

S101. The AP acquires an offline message for the user equipment, where the offline message carries a hardware address of the user equipment.

When the user equipment is offline, the user equipment's offline message is sent by the user equipment to the AP. When the administrator lets the user equipment go offline and the user equipment costs are completed, the user equipment's offline message is sent by the controller. Give the AP. The offline message sent to the AP carries the hardware address of the user equipment. In the wireless local area network (English: wireless local area network, WLAN) supporting the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (English: 802.11), the hardware address of the user equipment is medium access control (English: media) Access control, abbreviation: MAC) address.

S102: In the case that the AP is an authentication AP of the user equipment, the AP sends a DHCP release message to the DHCP server, so that the DHCP server is configured to release the association between the IP address of the user equipment and the user equipment, where the DHCP release message includes the user. The hardware address of the device.

Optionally, after obtaining the offline message of the user equipment, the AP determines whether the AP and the authentication AP of the user equipment are the same AP. If the AP is an authenticated AP of the user equipment, it indicates that the user equipment does not roam after the online authentication. The user equipment accesses the network through the AP. The AP generates a DHCP release (English: DHCP RELEASE) packet and releases the DHCP. The packet is sent to the DHCP server to trigger the DHCP server to release the association between the IP address of the user equipment and the user equipment according to the DHCP release message of the user equipment.

Correspondingly, if the AP is not the authentication AP of the user equipment, it indicates that the user equipment roams from the authentication AP of the user equipment to the AP after the user equipment is authenticated, the AP sends a DHCP release message generation request to the controller, and the controller sends the indication information to the controller. The authentication AP of the user equipment generates a DHCP release message by the authentication AP that triggers the user equipment, and the authentication AP of the user equipment sends the DHCP release message to the DHCP server. The indication information includes the hardware address of the user equipment, and the authentication AP of the user equipment carries the hardware address of the user equipment in the DHCP release message sent by the user equipment according to the hardware address of the user equipment.

In the address resource release method described in FIG. 1 , after acquiring the offline message for the user equipment, the AP sends a DHCP release message to the DHCP server to trigger the DHCP server to release the AP when the AP is the authentication AP of the user equipment. The association between the IP address of the user device and the user device. In the embodiment of the present invention, after the user equipment goes offline, the DHCP server will release the IP address assigned to the user equipment, and the IP address becomes an unassigned IP address. When a new user equipment applies for an IP address, the DHCP server will This IP address is assigned to the new user equipment, so address resources can be saved.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of another address resource release method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the address resource release method may include the following steps.

S201: The AP forwards the IP address of the user equipment to the DHCP server to trigger the DHCP server to allocate an IP address to the user equipment. The IP address acquisition request carries the hardware address of the user equipment.

Optionally, when the AP receives the authentication request sent by the user equipment, it indicates that the user equipment needs to access the network, and therefore sends an IP address acquisition request to the DHCP server to trigger the DHCP server to allocate an IP address to the user equipment, and allocate the IP address. The address is sent to the AP. The IP address acquisition request carries the hardware address of the user equipment, so that the DHCP server allocates an IP address to the user equipment.

As a possible implementation manner, the AP obtains an IP address allocated by the DHCP server for the user equipment, and generates a DHCP entry of the user equipment.

After forwarding the IP address acquisition request to the DHCP server, the AP receives an IP address allocation response sent by the DHCP server, where the IP address allocation response includes the IP address of the user equipment. The AP then generates a DHCP entry for the user equipment. The DHCP entry of the user equipment includes the mapping between the IP address of the user equipment and the hardware address.

S202. The AP acquires an offline message for the user equipment, where the offline message carries a hardware address of the user equipment.

As a possible implementation manner, the AP acquiring the offline message for the user equipment may be an offline message sent by the AP to the user equipment, where the offline message carries the hardware address of the user equipment, or may be sent by the AP receiving controller. For the offline message of the user equipment, the offline message carries the hardware address of the user equipment and the reason for the user equipment going offline.

Optionally, when the user equipment is offline, the user equipment's offline message is sent by the user equipment to the AP; when the administrator lets the user equipment go offline, the user equipment's cost is completed, and so on, the user equipment's offline message It is sent to the AP by the controller.

The DHCP release packet may pass through other devices during the process of sending the DHCP release packet to the DHCP server. If DHCP snooping is used on these devices, DHCP snooping monitors whether the port that sends the DHCP release packet is the same as the port in the DHCP snooping table. If the packets are inconsistent, the packet is invalid. Message. Therefore, in order to make the forwarding path of the DHCP release packet consistent with the path of the DHCP packet in the IP address allocation process, the AP needs to determine whether the AP is the authentication AP of the user equipment after receiving the offline message sent by the user equipment.

As a possible implementation manner, when the AP receives the offline message sent by the user equipment, the AP may determine whether the AP is the authentication AP of the user equipment, and may include the following steps.

A1: The AP sends a roaming information acquisition request to the user equipment to trigger the controller to determine whether the AP is an authentication AP of the user equipment, and sends the judgment result to the AP.

The offline message is sent by the user equipment to the AP. If the AP does not store information about whether the AP is the authentication AP of the user equipment, the AP sends a roaming information acquisition request to the controller to trigger the controller to determine whether the AP determines whether the AP is It is the authentication AP of the user equipment and sends the judgment result to the AP.

A2. The AP receives the judgment result sent by the controller.

After sending the roaming information acquisition request for the user equipment to the controller, the AP receives the judgment result sent by the controller, and identifies whether the judgment result is that the AP is the authentication AP of the user equipment.

As a possible implementation manner, when the AP receives the offline message sent by the controller for the user equipment, the AP determines whether the AP is the authentication AP of the user equipment according to the offline reason of the user equipment.

Optionally, when the offline message is sent by the controller to the AP, the offline message carries the reason for the downlink of the user equipment. The downlink of the user equipment includes the direct offline and the roaming offline. The direct offline is that the user equipment accesses the network through the AP from the authentication to the offline. The AP is the authentication AP of the user equipment. The authentication AP authenticates, and the user equipment does not access the network through the authentication AP but the AP accesses the network, that is, the user equipment roams from the authentication AP to the AP. Therefore, whether the AP is an authenticated AP of the user equipment can be determined according to the reason for the downlink of the user equipment.

If there is no offline reason in the offline message sent by the controller for the user equipment, it may be determined whether the AP is the user equipment authentication in the same manner as the AP receives the offline message sent by the user equipment. AP.

S203. In the case that the AP is an authentication AP of the user equipment, the AP sends a DHCP release message to the DHCP server to trigger the DHCP server to release the association between the IP address of the user equipment and the user equipment. The DHCP release message includes the user equipment. Hardware address.

If the AP is an authenticated AP of the user equipment, it indicates that the user equipment does not roam after the online authentication. The user equipment accesses the network through the AP. The AP generates a DHCP release (English: DHCP RELEASE) packet and releases the DHCP. The packet is sent to the DHCP server to trigger the DHCP server to release the association between the IP address of the user equipment and the user equipment according to the DHCP release message of the user equipment.

As a possible implementation, if the AP is not the authentication AP of the user equipment, the AP sends a DHCP release message generation request to the controller, and the controller sends the indication information to the authentication AP of the user equipment to trigger the authentication AP of the user equipment. A DHCP release message is generated, and the DHCP release message is sent by the authentication AP of the user equipment to the DHCP server. The indication information includes the hardware address of the user equipment.

Optionally, if the AP is not the authentication AP of the user equipment, it indicates that the user equipment is authenticated to the DHCP relay agent after the user equipment is authenticated and the DHCP relay packet is not discarded. The AP cannot directly send a DHCP release packet to the authentication device of the user equipment. Therefore, the AP sends a DHCP release packet generation request to the controller. The controller sends the indication information to the user equipment according to the DHCP release packet generation request. The authentication AP is configured to trigger the authentication of the user equipment to generate a DHCP release message, and the authentication AP of the user equipment sends the DHCP release message to the DHCP server to trigger the DHCP server to release the association between the IP address of the user equipment and the user equipment. . The indication information carries the hardware address of the user equipment, and the authentication AP carries the hardware address of the user equipment in the DHCP release message sent by the user equipment according to the hardware address of the user equipment in the indication information.

Optionally, when the AP stores the DHCP entry of the user equipment, the DHCP release message is generated according to the DHCP entry of the user equipment, and the DHCP release message includes the hardware address and the IP address of the user equipment.

Optionally, after the AP sends a DHCP release packet generation request to the controller, the AP clears the DHCP entry of the stored user equipment.

In the address resource release method described in FIG. 2, the AP forwards the IP address acquisition request of the user equipment to the DHCP server to trigger the DHCP server to allocate an IP address to the user equipment, obtain an offline message for the user equipment, and determine whether the AP is a user. The authentication AP of the device sends a DHCP release message to the DHCP server to trigger the DHCP server to release the association between the IP address of the user equipment and the user equipment. In the embodiment of the present invention, after the user equipment goes offline, the DHCP server will release the IP address assigned to the user equipment, and the IP address becomes an unassigned IP address. When a new user equipment applies for an IP address, the DHCP server will This IP address is assigned to the new user equipment, so address resources can be saved.
