Embodiment
For making object of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, referring to accompanying drawing, scheme of the present invention is described in further detail.
The invention provides a kind of access point AP upgrade method, the method is applied on the access point controller AC of AP upgrade-system.Refer to Fig. 1, this AP upgrade-system comprises file server, AP and AC, and wherein, described file server is for depositing the startup file of AP, and described AP is used for receiving startup file.Referring to Fig. 2, the method comprises the following steps:
Step 101, AC receives after the startup file upgrade request of AP, downloads AP startup file to file server requests;
Step 102, AC receives the startup file that described file server sends, and is transmitted to described AP.
The present invention, by the startup file of AP is kept on external file server, in the time that AP need to upgrade, is transmitted to AP by AC by the startup file of AP on file server, completes whole escalation process, and its specific implementation process is as follows.
First, file server need be preserved the startup file of all AP, and bibliographic structure storage startup file to make an appointment, to provide file to download.As shown in Figure 3, in this bibliographic structure, first order catalogue is identification of the manufacturer, and the software version number that second level catalogue is AP is deposited the startup file of the AP of all these version numbers under this catalogue.For example, the memory location of the startup file of a certain AP in file server is. QXHC V100R005B109D023 wa2600_fit.bin, and wherein, QXHC is identification of the manufacturer, V100R005B109D023 is the software version number of AP, and wa2600_fit.bin is startup file title.
While reconnecting when ap reboot or after due to the suspension of network reason, AP can send and join request to AC.AC receives after joining request of AP, from this request, obtain the manufacturer's information of AP, AP model, the software version information that hardware information and AP are moving, AC is according to the manufacturer's information of AP, AP model and hardware information are searched the AP version number of AC adaptation therewith in the database of AC, by version number that relatively AP is just moving with whether need upgrading with the whether consistent AP of judgement of AP version number of current AC adaptation, if judge that AP needs upgrading, the information such as the startup file title that AC need to upgrade this AP inquiring from database send to AP, AP asks startup file with this.Those skilled in the art will know that, AC is in the time of initial configuration, or in follow-up escalation process, the startup file of AC all can be in local data base storage the each AP information with current AC version adaptation, comprise the information such as manufacturer, model, version number and startup file title of AP.
Owing to having preserved the startup file of all AP in file server, therefore, when AC receives after the startup file upgrade request of AP, can be to the startup file of this AP of file server requests.File server receives after this request, and the startup file information providing according to AC is confirmed the memory location of this startup file in file server, and this startup file is handed down to AC.AC receives after this startup file, and this startup file is transmitted to corresponding AP.This AC forwards the mode of startup file, makes AC no longer need to preserve startup file by craft or alternate manner, especially for the system that comprises multiple AC, has greatly simplified the configuration operation of system.
In AC repeating process, because the communications protocol between the communications protocol between AC and file server and AC and AP is different, therefore, in the time that AC receives from file server the protocol massages that comprises startup file, need parse startup file, and again startup file is packed according to the protocol format between AC and AP, then be transmitted to AP.For example, adopt FTP (File Transfer Protocol, file transfer protocol (FTP)) or TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol, TFTP) download startup file from file server, AC receives after above-mentioned protocol massages, from this protocol massages, parse startup file data, through CAPWAP agreement flow process, startup file is transmitted to AP.Wherein, FTP and TFTP are general file transfer protocol (FTP).CAPWAP is general wireless access point control and configuration protocol, is defined by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force, Internet Engineering task groups) standardization body.The product of following the different vendor of CAPWAP agreement can be realized interconnected, but part manufacturer still adopts private agreement.The present invention does not limit the connection protocol between AC and file server, as long as the agreement that adopts can realize file transmitting function,, also the communications protocol between AC and AP is not limited meanwhile.This processing procedure has ensured still to adopt original download flow process between AC and AP, and system is changed minimum.
In dispatch from the factory configuration or when old AP upgrade-system is transformed of AC, the startup file of part AP may have been preserved in AC inside, therefore, when AC receives after the startup file upgrade request of AP, can first carry out local search, if the local startup file that has AP, reads startup file and downloads from this locality according to original flow process.Obtain startup file failure if AC is local without corresponding startup file or this locality, inquire about the external file server address of the upper configuration of AC, download startup file to this file server address request.This processing procedure, by the preferential local mode of downloading, has effectively improved the bandwidth availability ratio between AC and external file server.
AC, can be to file server requests authentication before downloading AP startup file to file server requests, and the AC only register on file server just can access file server, and then download startup file.AC, in the time sending authentication request, carries self username and password, in the time that file server is confirmed this user for validated user, replys authentication success message, and AC can download startup file to file server requests; If authentification failure, cannot obtain startup file.By increasing authentication, the fail safe that can improve system.
AC is sending when download request to file server, download directory address and the startup file title of in this request, carrying startup file.AC is according to calculating the memory location (be directory address) of startup file in file server with the bibliographic structure of the prior agreement of file server, this directory address and startup file title are sent to file server, and file server can find needs the startup file of downloading to send to AC.For example, deposit startup file second-level directory as shown in Figure 3 in file server under a certain root, AC is by configuration, and the root of file server being deposited to startup file carries out this locality preservation.In the time that AC sends download request to file server, the startup file root directory information of preservation, identification of the manufacturer, AP software version number and startup file title are sent to file server, wherein, startup file root directory information, identification of the manufacturer and AP software version number have formed the directory address of startup file.File server receives after this request, by " startup file root identification of the manufacturer AP software version number startup file title ", this startup file is sent to AC.Be that AC is just corresponding with the bibliographic structure of depositing AP startup file in file server with file name to the directory address of file server requests, ask the AP version startup file suitable with AC with this.AC is by integrating the information of collecting, determine the directory address of startup file on file server, it is directly sent to file server, this directory address of server by utilizing directly reads startup file, and do not need to calculate again directory address, reduce the workload of file server, improved the treatment effeciency of file server.
