Specific implementation mode
To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, referring to the drawings to of the present invention
Scheme is described in further detail.
The present invention provides a kind of access point AP upgrade methods, and this method is applied to the access point controller AC of AP upgrade-systems
On.Fig. 1 is referred to, which includes file server, AP and AC, wherein the file server is for storing
The startup file of AP, the AP is for receiving startup file.Referring to Fig. 2, this approach includes the following steps：
Step 101, after the startup file upgrade request of AC receptions AP, AP startup files are downloaded to file server requests；
Step 102, AC receives the startup file that the file server is sent, and is transmitted to the AP.
The present invention, when AP needs upgrading, passes through AC by the way that the startup file of AP to be stored on external file server
The startup file of AP on file server is transmitted to AP, completes entire escalation process, specific implementation process is as follows.
First, file server need to preserve the startup file of all AP, and stored and started with the bibliographic structure made an appointment
File, in order to provide file download.As shown in figure 3, first order catalogue is identification of the manufacturer in the bibliographic structure, second level catalogue is
The software version number of AP stores the startup file of the AP of this all version number under the catalogue.For example, the startup file of a certain AP
Storage location in file server be QXHC V100R005B109D023 wa2600_fit.bin, wherein QXHC is
Identification of the manufacturer, V100R005B109D023 are the software version number of AP, and wa2600_fit.bin is startup file title.
When ap reboot or when being reconnected after suspension due to network, AP can send to AC and request is added.AC receives AP
Addition request after, the software version that the manufacturer's information, AP models, hardware information and AP of AP are currently running is obtained from the request
This information, AC search the AP versions being adapted to this AC according to the manufacturer's information, AP models and hardware information of AP in the database of AC
This number, whether unanimously judge whether AP needs by comparing the AP version numbers just run and the AP version numbers being adapted to current AC
Upgrading, if it is determined that AP needs to upgrade, then the startup file title etc. that the AP inquired from database is needed to upgrade by AC
Information is sent to AP, and AP asks startup file with this.One skilled in the art will appreciate that AC is in initial configuration or subsequent
In escalation process, the startup file of AC all can store each AP information being adapted to current AC versions, including AP in local data base
The information such as manufacturer, model, version number and startup file title.
Due to saving the startup file of all AP in file server, when AC receives the startup file liter of AP
It, can be to the startup file of the file server requests AP after grade request.After file server receives the request, provided according to AC
Startup file information, confirm storage location of the startup file in file server, and the startup file is handed down to AC.
After AC receives the startup file, this startup file is transmitted to corresponding AP.The mode of this AC forwardings startup file so that AC
It no longer needs, by preserving startup file by hand or other means, particularly with the system for including multiple AC, to enormously simplify and be
The configuration of system operates.
In AC repeating process, due to the communications protocol between AC and file server and the communications protocol between AC and AP
Therefore difference when AC receives the protocol massages comprising startup file from file server, need to parse startup file, and
Startup file is packaged again according to the protocol format between AC and AP, relays to AP.For example, using FTP (File
Transfer Protocol, File Transfer Protocol) or TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol, simple files
Transport protocol) from file server download startup file, after AC receives above-mentioned protocol massages, parsed from the protocol massages
Startup file is transmitted to AP by startup file data through CAPWAP agreement flows.Wherein, FTP and TFTP is that general file passes
Defeated agreement.CAPWAP is general wireless access point control and configuration protocol, by IETF (Internet Engineering
Task Force, Internet Engineering Task group) standardization body's definition.The product for following the different vendor of CAPWAP agreements can be with
Realize interconnection, but part manufacturer still uses private agreement.Connection protocol of the present invention not between AC and file server into
Row limits, if used agreement can realize file transmitting function, meanwhile, the also communications protocol not between AC and AP
It is defined.The processing procedure, which ensure that, still uses original download flow between AC and AP, system change is minimum.
When AC dispatches from the factory and configures or be transformed to old AP upgrade-systems, part AP may have been saved inside AC
Startup file therefore after AC receives the startup file upgrade request of AP, can first carry out local search, if local exist
The startup file of AP is then downloaded according to original flow from the local startup file that reads.If AC it is local without corresponding startup file or
It is local to obtain startup file failure, then the external file server address configured on AC is inquired, is asked to this document server address
Seek download startup file.The processing procedure effectively increases AC and external file server by way of being preferentially locally-downloaded
Between bandwidth availability ratio.
AC, can be to file server requests authentication, only before downloading AP startup files to file server requests
There is the AC registered on file server, can just access file server, and then download startup file.AC is sending certification
When request, own user name and password are carried, when file server confirms that the user is validated user, certification is replied and successfully disappears
Breath, AC can download startup file to file server requests；If authentification failure, startup file can not be obtained.Pass through increase
The safety of system can be improved in authentication.
AC carries the download directory address of startup file and opens when sending download request to file server in the request
Dynamic file name.AC calculates startup file in file server according to the bibliographic structure arranged in advance with file server
The directory address and startup file title are sent to file server by storage location (i.e. directory address), and file server is
The startup file that can find need to download is sent to AC.For example, as shown in Figure 3 open is stored in file server under a certain root
Dynamic file second-level directory, then for AC by configuring, the root that file server is stored to startup file carries out local preservation.Work as AC
To file server send download request when, by the startup file root directory information of preservation, identification of the manufacturer, AP software version numbers with
And startup file title is sent to file server, wherein startup file root directory information, identification of the manufacturer and AP software versions
Number constitute the directory address of startup file.After file server receives the request, by " startup file root manufacturer
Mark AP software version numbers startup file title ", which is sent to AC.That is mesh of the AC to file server requests
Recording address and file name, to store the bibliographic structure of AP startup files just and in file server corresponding, with this asking and
The compatible AP versions startup files of AC.AC determines startup file in file service by being integrated to the information being collected into
Directory address on device is transmitted directly to file server, and the server by utilizing directory address directly reads startup file,
Without calculating directory address again, reduce the workload of file server, improves the treatment effeciency of file server.
