And MP.
Background technology
When disposing access point (AP, Access Point) the most in a large number, to AP upgrading software, set
Put the management work such as transmitting power and will bring the highest running cost to user.For solving this problem, WLAN
New trend is occurred in that: thin (Fit) AP framework at application developments such as enterprises.I.e. by wireless controller (AC,
Access Controller) manage multiple certain tunnel protocol that uses between AP, AP and AC, such as: wireless
Access point controls and supply (CAPWAP, Controlling and Provisioning of Wireless Access
Point) agreement carries out communication, and realization is shared in the process of wireless access message between AP and AC.
CAPWAP agreement is that the communication between AP and AC provides general encapsulation and transmission mechanism.
CAPWAP use UDP (UDP, User Datagram Protocol) as host-host protocol,
And support IPv4 and IPv6 agreement.
The pre-configured function of AP provides and a kind of configures the basic network parameter of Fit AP on AC, and
The method that configuration information is issued to Fit AP.The configuration being issued to Fit AP can save as privately owned on AP
Configuration file, when Fit ap reboot, privately owned configuration file comes into force.It should be noted that AC can only will join
Confidence breath is sent to set up CAPWAP/ Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP, Light Weight Access with it
Point Protocol) tunnel connection, i.e. it is currently at the Fit AP of operation (Run) state.AP is pre-configured can
The information preserved includes the IP address of AC, domain name system (DNS, Domain Name System), interface
Arrange Deng network of relation, it is also possible to configuration of IP safety (IPsec) key information, make the AP that acquisition is pre-configured
Can carry out in an encrypted state when carrying out message interaction with AC, improve communications security.
Fig. 1 is in existing wlan network, and Fit AP finds and is associated with AC and obtains configuration from AC
Message flow chart, as it is shown in figure 1, detailed process is as follows:
After step 101:Fit AP starts, broadcast finds request (Discovery Request) message.
After step 102:AC receives this Discovery Request message, send to AP and find response
(Discovery Response) message.
After step 103:AP receives Discovery Response message, by the LWAPP state of self maintained
The state of machine is changed into clean culture and is found to add (Unicast Discovery to Join), sends to AC clean culture and adds
Enter request (Join Request) message.
Step 104:AC receives this Join Request message, by the LWAPP shape of this AP of self maintained
The state of state machine is become adding (Join) from idle (Idle), and sends addition response (Join Response) to AP
Message.
After step 105:AP receives Join Response message, send addition to AC and receive notice (Join Ack)
Message.
After step 106:AC receives Join ACK message, the LWAPP state machine of this AP is become by Join
For JoinAck, send to AP and add confirmation (Join confirm) message.
After step 107:AP receives Join Confirm message, send configuration state request to AC
(Configuration Status Request) message, this message carries some basic parameters of AP, such as penetrates
Frequently capability set, radio frequency medium education (MAC, Media Access Control) address etc..
After step 108:AC receives Configuration Status Request message, send configuration shape to AP
Condition response (Configuration Status Response) message, this message carries the basic configuration letter of this AP
Breath.
The configuration information of AP is divided into basic configuration information and other configuration informations, in this step, first passes through
Configuration Status Response message issues basic configuration information.
After step 109:AP receives Configuration Status Response message, according to the base in message
This configuration information configures, and LWAPP state machine becomes Run state, and sends change state to AC
Event request (Change State Event Request) message, to notify that AC changes running status.
Step 110:AC receives Change State Event Request message, this AP of change self maintained
The state of LWAPP state machine be Run, and return to AP and change state event response (Change State
Event Response) message.Now, the CAPWAP tunnel between AP and AC is set up.
Step 111: when AP is in Run state, AC can ask (Configuration by config update
Update Request) message issues other configuration informations to AP, and AP receives and responds.CAPWAP
In not mandatory provision Configuration Update Request message does not carries type lengths values (TLV,
Type Length Value), after generally AP reaches the standard grade, AC can send a plurality of Configuration to AP
Update Request message, because each business module can be by oneself relevant configuration by this message on AC
Send AP to.If the configuration on follow-up AC is modified, it is possible to by this message, the configuration of AP is entered
Row updates.
Step 112: if employing the pre-configured function that issues on AC, pre-configured also can pass through Configuration
Update Request message is handed down to after AP, AP receive reply response, and provisioning file is saved in this
Ground flash memory (Flash).
WLAN grid (Mesh) network is the WLAN of a kind of new type.Different from traditional WLAN
, it is wireless connection between the AP in WLAN Mesh network.Fig. 2 is existing typical case Mesh
Networking schematic diagram, in WLAN Mesh network, the AP starting Mesh function is referred to as MP, wherein
Direct-connected referred to as grid authentication point (MPP, Mesh Portal Point) wired with AC, client accesses
MP is referred to as grid access point (MAP, Mesh Access Point).
If AP accesses AC by Mesh mode, and is not MPP, then AP is carrying out CAPWAP
Can first carry out Mesh connection negotiation before tunnel establishment procedure, follow-up CAPWAP process connects at Mesh
On the basis of carry out.Fig. 3 gives in existing WLAN Mesh network, and AP finds and be associated with AC also
The message flow chart of configuration is obtained, as it is shown on figure 3, detailed process is as follows from AC:
After step 301:AP starts, according to whether there is the role of wired connection decision-making oneself.If there is
Effective wired connection, then it is assumed that oneself be MPP, is directly found by wired connection and is associated with AC, obtaining
Take and complete the configuration of Mesh characteristic；If there is no wired connection, then it is assumed that oneself be common MP.
Step 302: the MP of non-MPP, i.e. common MP scans neighbours MP, and selects successful association to arrive
The neighbours MP of AC, as equity point (Peer), sets up Mesh with it and is connected.The Mesh now set up is even
Connecing is unsafe connection.
Step 303: this common MP by set up Mesh connect with DHCP (DHCP,
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server interaction gets IP address, completes network configuration.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server and AC are in the same network segment.
Step 304: this common MP starts the discovery AC process of CAPWAP and completes and the associating of AC,
The configuration of self is downloaded from AC.
Common MP finds and is associated with the process of AC, needs to be carried out by MPP.
Step 305: this common MP removes the Mesh previously set up and connects, and the Mesh rebuilding safety connects.
During this, this common MP first carries out peer to peer connection open (Peer Link Open)/confirmation (Confirm) again
Message interaction, is extended authentication protocol (EAP, Extensible Authentication Protocol) the most again
Shaking hands in certification (optional) and 4 roads, negotiates the final key needed for communication between Peer.
The shortcoming of prior art is as follows:
If AP wants to obtain specified configuration, it is necessary to first set up a CAPWAP with AC and connect, then from AC
Carry configuration.That is, AC can only send configuration information to establish tunnel with it and be connected, and is i.e. currently at
The Fit AP of Run state, so before configuring AP configuration information on AC, therefore, to assure that AP is in Run
State, it is impossible to skip CAPWAP tunnel and set up process.
