Description

Access point interface configuration recovery method, device and home gateway

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to an access point interface configuration recovery method, apparatus, and home gateway.

Background technique

An important networking form of a wireless local area network (WLAN) is an access point (AP), and a wireless terminal (ie, a wireless client) accesses the AP to implement interconnection. . In a home network, an AP is usually integrated into a Home Gate Way (HGW) device to enable the home internal terminal to share the Internet (Internet, also known as the Internet), and provide wireless interworking services for home users. platform.

A plurality of virtual APs may be configured on the wireless interface of the home gateway device, including one primary virtual AP and multiple secondary virtual APs, and each virtual AP corresponds to a Service Set Identifier (SSID). The SSID is a unique ID code broadcast by the AP to identify the AP, which is simply the name of a wireless network. The wireless LAN separation can be achieved by configuring different information such as SSID name, encryption method, and key value for each virtual AP. Generally, the primary virtual AP acts as a private virtual AP to construct a private wireless network, allowing the accessed wireless terminals to directly share the Internet network, while other secondary virtual APs can define different service networks according to requirements, such as allowing only access to Internet television ( IPTV) system.

When the home gateway is shipped from the factory, the initial configuration of the primary virtual AP is preset, and the initial configuration information is identified on the surface of the home gateway device, which is convenient for the user to view and use. The user can also modify the corresponding SSID name, encryption mode, and secret. Information such as key values. When the user changes the initial configuration, and wants to restore the primary virtual AP to the initial configuration, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for restoring the primary virtual AP configuration according to the related art. As shown in FIG. 1, the following technologies may be adopted in the related art. Three ways:

Method 1, the login web page (web) management page is used to restore the factory settings.

The so-called web management page refers to an operation page provided by the home gateway for implementing configuration management. In the web management mode of the home gateway, a button for restoring the factory is usually preset, and the user can perform a whole operation of restoring the factory to the home gateway by clicking this button, which includes restoring all the virtual AP related configurations to the factory state. After the device performs the factory reset operation, it will restart. The restart time varies depending on the device.

Method 2: Use the unified reset button to restore the factory configuration to the factory.

The Reset button is a button for setting an entity outside the home gateway device. The user can restore the home gateway device to the factory state by pressing the physical button, which includes restoring all virtual AP related configurations to the factory state. After the device performs the factory reset operation, it will restart. The restart time varies depending on the device.

The third method is to use the remote management device to perform a complete machine resetting of the home gateway.

In addition to the two methods described above, the remote management device can remotely manage the home gateway through the TR069 protocol. TR098 also specifies a remote recovery factory remote procedure call (RPC) method, in which the home gateway device can be restored. It is the factory state, which includes restoring all virtual AP related configurations to the factory state. After the device performs the factory reset operation, it will restart. The restart time varies depending on the device.

It can be seen that the manner of restoring the initial configuration of the AP provided in the related art adopts a configuration for restoring the configuration of the home gateway. The inventors discovered during the research that the above-mentioned methods provided in the related art have at least the following disadvantages:

1. The factory configuration of the AP interface that cannot be redirected can only restore the factory state of the AP interface while the whole machine is restored to the factory.

2. After the factory configuration is restored, the whole machine will be restarted, which will affect the user experience;

3. After the factory configuration is restored, all configurations of the home gateway need to be reconfigured, further affecting the user experience.

The problem of poor user experience caused by the recovery of the AP interface configuration by the configuration and recovery scheme of the home gateway in the related art has not yet been proposed.

detailed description

The invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, The objectives and other advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structure particularly pointed in the appended claims.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is an embodiment of the invention, but not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of the present invention.

The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for restoring an AP interface configuration, which is applied to a home gateway with a primary virtual AP and a secondary virtual AP. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for restoring an AP interface according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 . As shown, the process includes the following steps:

Step S202: Acquire an interface configuration recovery request from the virtual AP, where the interface configuration recovery request carries the authentication information of the primary virtual AP.

Step S204, verifying whether the authentication information is legal;

Step S206: In the case that the authentication information is valid, the interface of the primary virtual AP is restored to the preset interface configuration.

The configuration of the interface of the primary virtual AP is restored to the default interface configuration by using the interface that is configured with the authentication information of the primary active AP, and the AP interface configuration recovery method is provided. Compared with the related art, the method of restoring the configuration of the home gateway is required, and the other configuration of the home gateway can be retained in this manner, and the complicated configuration process of other configurations is avoided. It can be seen that, through the foregoing steps, the problem of poor user experience caused by the recovery of the AP interface configuration by the configuration and recovery scheme of the home gateway in the related art is solved, and the user experience is improved.

Preferably, the home gateway can obtain an interface configuration restoration request through the RPC mode, or can be obtained in other manners.

For example, for a wireless client supporting Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), the home gateway can receive an HTTP access request that has been accessed from a wireless client in the virtual AP by receiving from the virtual AP, wherein the HTTP access request is used. Requesting a preset page; then the home gateway can obtain the interface configuration recovery request input by the user through the preset page indicated by the HTTP access request. In this manner, the user is required to memorize the page address of the preset page, and in case the wireless client accesses the virtual AP, send an HTTP access request to the home gateway to access the page address of the preset page.

For another example, after receiving the HTTP access request sent by the wireless client, the home gateway may forcibly redirect the access page of the HTTP access request to the preset page regardless of the page of the access address carried in the HTTP access request. The user can implement the configuration of the interface configuration recovery request by using a text input or a button operation on the preset page, so that the home gateway receives the interface configuration recovery request input by the user through the preset page. In this way, the user no longer needs to memorize the page address of the preset page, which further enhances the user experience.

It should be noted that the slave virtual AP in this embodiment may be any ordinary slave virtual AP. Preferably, the AP can support the HTTP protocol. In order to fully utilize the feature of isolation from the virtual AP according to the service, a dedicated slave AP can be used for interface configuration recovery of the primary virtual AP. For example, the dedicated slave virtual AP is an open AP, and any dedicated wireless device can access the dedicated slave virtual AP as long as its IP address assignment meets the requirements. A public key can be set from the virtual AP, and can be directly accessed without key authentication. In addition, in order to ensure the security of accessing the installed wireless device from the virtual AP, the wireless devices of the access-dedicated slave virtual APs may be set to be mutually inaccessible.

Preferably, in the case that the authentication information is invalid, the home gateway may return the authentication failure information from the virtual AP, and record the number of authentication failures in a certain period of time; the authentication fails in the certain period of time. If the number of times exceeds the preset value, a timer can be started. Before the preset time arrives (that is, before the timer expires), the validity of the authentication information is no longer verified. The method of verifying the validity of the interface configuration includes: closing the relevant interface/interface for obtaining the interface configuration recovery request, or directly discarding the interface configuration recovery request received before the preset time arrives.

Preferably, in this embodiment, a method for the wireless client to access the slave virtual AP is further provided, for example, the home gateway receives the access request of the wireless client that sends the interface configuration recovery request to access the virtual AP; The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) mode assigns an IP address to a wireless client that automatically obtains an IP address. If an IP address is successfully assigned to a wireless client that automatically obtains an IP address, the unlimited client is accessed from the virtual AP. Alternatively, the home gateway receives the access request of the wireless client that sends the interface configuration recovery request to access the virtual AP; and determines whether the IP address of the wireless client that manually sets the IP address is the IP address in the preset address pool of the home gateway; The IP address of the wireless client that determines that the IP address is manually set is the IP address in the preset address pool of the home gateway, and the IP address manually set by the wireless client does not conflict with the IP address of other devices accessing the home gateway. Next, the wireless client is accessed from the virtual AP.

Preferably, the foregoing authentication information includes: an Ethernet Point-to-Point Protocol (PPPoE) dialing account required for the home gateway to access the Internet, and a preset key value of the primary virtual AP. The default key value of the primary virtual AP can generally be obtained from the home network. Obtained on the closed casing.

Preferably, the foregoing authentication information includes: a PPPoE dialing account required for the home gateway to access the Internet, and a preset key value of the primary virtual AP.

The embodiment further provides a home gateway, including: the foregoing AP interface configuration restoring device.

In addition, each functional unit in each embodiment of the present invention may be integrated into one processing unit, or each unit may exist physically separately, or two or more units may be integrated into one unit. The above integrated unit can be implemented in the form of hardware or in the form of a software functional unit.

In order to make the description of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the following description and description are given in conjunction with the preferred embodiments.

The preferred embodiment provides a method for recovering a home gateway AP interface configuration to overcome the existing technology. It is not possible to redirect the issue of a particular virtual AP configuration. In the preferred embodiment, a method for implementing configuration recovery of a primary virtual AP by using a virtual AP as an access point is provided.

The method for recovering a primary virtual AP from a virtual AP provided by the preferred embodiment includes the following steps:

Step 1: The physical AP interface of the home gateway needs to open at least one slave virtual AP in addition to the primary virtual AP. From the virtual AP as an open access point, no encryption is configured, and any wireless client can associate with the virtual AP;

Step 2: When the wireless client associates with the virtual AP and performs HTTP service access, the home gateway redirects the HTTP access page to the home gateway (preset fixed page, this page contains the authentication necessary to restore the primary virtual AP to the factory state) Information input box and action execution button;

Step 3: The user enters the correct authentication information and submits the information in the redirect page. After the home gateway performs authentication, the primary virtual AP can be redirected to the factory state. The entire process does not affect other modules and applications, and the home gateway does not restart;

Step 4: After detecting the incorrect authentication information, the home gateway returns a message indicating that the authentication fails, and allows the user to perform the authentication again.

Step 5: The home gateway limits the number of times of the authentication failure retry. After the number of authentication failures reaches the upper limit, the authentication condition input box and the recovery button of the redirect page are grayed out, and the user is no longer allowed to perform the recovery operation. Set the recovery time for the release of the restriction.

Preferably, in step 1, the SSID name of the slave virtual AP is preset and can correspond to the name of the primary virtual AP. The wireless client can search for the associated AP in the wireless coverage of the home gateway, and the home gateway allocates an IP address to the wireless client through DHCP. For example, if the IP address of the wireless client is manually configured, the address must be the same as the address of the preset address pool of the home gateway. Otherwise, no response is made;

Preferably, in step 2, the wireless client associated with the virtual AP is not allowed to access other services than HTTP, and is redirected to the specified page during HTTP service access. In addition, the virtual AP is isolated from other LAN-side interfaces (including wired interfaces and other virtual AP interfaces). Preferably, any form of communication between the wireless clients associated with the slave virtual AP is also not possible.

In steps 2 and 3, the authentication information in the redirect page includes the PPPoE dial-up account required for the home gateway to access the Internet and the default factory key value of the primary virtual AP. The home gateway stores the authentication information in the database and the configuration file. After the user inputs the authentication information, the home gateway compares the input value with the stored authentication information, and the authentication succeeds, and the operation of restoring the default configuration of the primary virtual AP can be further performed. As described in step 3; if not, an error message is sent to inform the user of the cause of the failure, as described in step 4. The prompt information here can be displayed on the current authentication page, or a new prompt page can be popped up. It is better to specify the reason for the failure in the failure information, so that the user can accurately correct the input information.

In step 5, the home gateway limits the number of authentication failures, and the home gateway sets a counter and a timer, and can preset the upper limit of the counter and the timer timeout period. Each time the authentication fails, the counter is incremented by one. At the same time, it is judged whether the current accumulated value of the counter reaches the upper limit. If the upper limit is not reached, the user is prompted to fail the authentication through the page. The reason is that the user is allowed to re-enter the authentication information, as described in step 5; if the accumulated value has reached the upper limit, the user is notified that the maximum number of authentications has been reached, and the authentication information input box and the recovery button are grayed out, and the timer is started. After the timer reaches the timeout period, the authentication information is allowed to be re-entered and the recovery operation is performed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described and illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a primary virtual AP configuration recovery method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the process includes the following steps:

First, the home gateway detects that there is a wireless client access from the virtual AP access point. Generally, the slave virtual AP is an open access point, and no encryption is configured, and the name of the slave virtual AP is associated with the name of the primary virtual AP, so that when there are multiple slave virtual APs, fast distinction can be performed. For example, if the primary virtual AP name is SSID1, the name of the secondary virtual AP is SSID1-HELP. In addition, the wireless client is installed with a browser and supports HTTP access. After the wireless client accesses the virtual AP, it can automatically obtain the private IP address assigned by the home gateway, or manually set the IP address that is consistent with the home gateway address pool, but cannot access all services except HTTP, and cannot interface with other LANs. Including the wired interface and other virtual AP interfaces to communicate, that is, the slave virtual AP is isolated from other LAN-side interfaces.

Then, when the wireless client performs HTTP service access, the home gateway does not forward the service according to the normal process, but forces it to be pushed to an authentication page. For example, when a wireless client visits "www.xxx.com", the home gateway will force the access page to the specified authentication page. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an authentication page according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the page includes an authentication information input box, related prompt information, and an action button.

Secondly, the home gateway receives the authentication information submitted by the user, and includes the dialing account of the current PPPoE connection of the home gateway and the key of the default primary virtual AP. The default primary virtual AP's key is available on the Home Gateway Shell tab. Since the key of the default primary virtual AP of each home gateway is unique, and the PPPoE dialing account of each user is unique, this can be used as the authentication condition to ensure the security of the information.

Then, the home gateway starts the counter immediately after receiving the authentication information, and compares the PPPoE dialing account and the key of the primary virtual AP stored in the database and the default configuration file. If the data is consistent, the authentication passes, and the configuration of the primary virtual AP is performed. If the data is inconsistent, the authentication fails, and the authentication fails (such as the PPPoE account error, the default AP key error, etc.) is restored to the factory default state. At the same time, the counter is increased by one.

Finally, the home gateway determines the counter value in the above. If the number of times exceeds the limit (for example, three times), the page prompts that the number of authentication limits has been exceeded, and the authentication information input box and the recovery button are grayed out to prevent the user from repeatedly operating. At the same time, the timer is started, and the gray state is maintained until the timer expires. After the timer expires, the user automatically removes the graying, allowing the user to re-enter the authentication information and operate the recovery button, that is, restarting the home gateway to receive the authentication information input by the user and the following If the number of times is not exceeded, the home gateway is allowed to continue to receive the authentication information input by the user and the following process.

In summary, with the foregoing embodiments and preferred embodiments of the present invention, the manner of restoring the configuration of the primary virtual AP from the virtual AP is utilized, and not only the configuration of the primary virtual AP is restored, but also the configuration of the primary virtual AP is restored. Pass page authentication The operation security is fully guaranteed, and the whole machine is not restarted, and the user experience is obviously improved.
