無線LANシステム、無線LANアクセスポイント、無線LANアクセスポイント設定方法、プログラム、記録媒体Wireless LAN system, wireless LAN access point, wireless LAN access point setting method, program, and recording medium
 本発明は、無線LANコントローラによる無線LANアクセスポイントの設定の管理に関する。 The present invention relates to management of setting of a wireless LAN access point by a wireless LAN controller.
 従来より、無線LANコントローラが無線LANアクセスポイントを管理することが知られている(例えば、特許文献1の[0008]参照)。 Conventionally, it is known that a wireless LAN controller manages a wireless LAN access point (see, for example, [0008] of Patent Document 1).
 無線LANアクセスポイントは、動作用の設定を無線LANコントローラから受信し、無線LANアクセスポイント自らの動作設定を行う。動作設定の際に、無線LANアクセスポイントは、アクセスポイントの機能を停止(例えば、無線LANクライアントとの無線通信を停止)する。 The wireless LAN access point receives operation settings from the wireless LAN controller and performs operation settings for the wireless LAN access point itself. At the time of operation setting, the wireless LAN access point stops the function of the access point (for example, stops wireless communication with the wireless LAN client).
 なお、特に無線LANとは関係ないが、コンテンツの配信については、特許文献2に記載がある。 Note that, although not particularly related to the wireless LAN, the distribution of contents is described in Patent Document 2.
特開2007-166464号公報JP 2007-166464 A 特開2002-318716号公報JP 2002-318716 A
 しかしながら、無線LANアクセスポイントは、現時点の無線LANアクセスポイント自身の設定と同一の設定を無線LANコントローラから受信することがある。このような場合であっても(本来、設定を行う必要が無いにも関わらず)、無線LANアクセスポイントは、無線LANクライアントとの無線通信を停止して、動作設定を行う。すなわち、無線LANアクセスポイントが、無線LANクライアントとの無線通信を無駄に停止するという問題が生じることがある。 However, the wireless LAN access point may receive the same setting from the wireless LAN controller as the current setting of the wireless LAN access point itself. Even in such a case (although originally it is not necessary to perform the setting), the wireless LAN access point stops the wireless communication with the wireless LAN client and performs the operation setting. That is, there may be a problem that the wireless LAN access point stops uselessly wireless communication with the wireless LAN client.
 そこで、本発明は、無線LANアクセスポイントが、現時点の無線LANアクセスポイント自身の設定と同一の設定を無線LANコントローラから受信しても、無線LANクライアントとの無線通信を停止しないようにすることを課題とする。 Therefore, the present invention prevents the wireless LAN access point from stopping wireless communication with the wireless LAN client even if the wireless LAN access point receives the same setting as the current wireless LAN access point itself from the wireless LAN controller. Let it be an issue.
 本発明にかかる無線LANシステムは、無線LANコントローラと、無線LANアクセスポイントとを備える無線LANシステムであって、(1)前記無線LANコントローラが、前記無線LANアクセスポイントに設定する設定内容を、前記無線LANアクセスポイントに送信する設定内容送信部と、前記設定内容のハッシュ値を前記無線LANアクセスポイントに送信するハッシュ送信部とを有し、(2)前記無線LANアクセスポイントが、前記無線LANアクセスポイントの設定を行う設定部と、既に前記無線LANアクセスポイントに設定されている現行設定内容を記録する現行設定内容記録部と、無線LANクライアントと通信を行う無線通信部と、前記無線LANコントローラから、前記設定内容のハッシュ値を受信するハッシュ受信部と、前記現行設定内容のハッシュ値である現行ハッシュ値と、受信した前記ハッシュ値とを比較するハッシュ比較部とを有し、前記現行ハッシュ値と前記ハッシュ値とが一致する場合には、前記無線LANアクセスポイントの設定を前記現行設定内容のままとし、かつ前記無線通信部による通信を続行するように構成される。 The wireless LAN system according to the present invention is a wireless LAN system including a wireless LAN controller and a wireless LAN access point. (1) The setting content set in the wireless LAN access point by the wireless LAN controller A setting content transmission unit that transmits to the wireless LAN access point; and a hash transmission unit that transmits a hash value of the setting content to the wireless LAN access point. (2) The wireless LAN access point includes the wireless LAN access A setting unit for setting a point, a current setting content recording unit for recording a current setting content already set in the wireless LAN access point, a wireless communication unit for communicating with a wireless LAN client, and the wireless LAN controller , Which receives the hash value of the setting content And a hash comparison unit that compares the received hash value with a current hash value that is a hash value of the current setting content, and the current hash value and the hash value match Is configured to keep the setting of the wireless LAN access point as it is and to continue communication by the wireless communication unit.
 上記のように構成された無線LANシステムによれば、無線LANコントローラと、無線LANアクセスポイントとを備える無線LANシステムが提供される。(1)前記無線LANコントローラにおいては、設定内容送信部が、前記無線LANアクセスポイントに設定する設定内容を、前記無線LANアクセスポイントに送信する。ハッシュ送信部が、前記設定内容のハッシュ値を前記無線LANアクセスポイントに送信する。(2)前記無線LANアクセスポイントにおいては、設定部が、前記無線LANアクセスポイントの設定を行う。現行設定内容記録部が、既に前記無線LANアクセスポイントに設定されている現行設定内容を記録する。無線通信部が、無線LANクライアントと通信を行う。ハッシュ受信部が、前記無線LANコントローラから、前記設定内容のハッシュ値を受信する。ハッシュ比較部が、前記現行設定内容のハッシュ値である現行ハッシュ値と、受信した前記ハッシュ値とを比較する。前記現行ハッシュ値と前記ハッシュ値とが一致する場合には、前記無線LANアクセスポイントの設定を前記現行設定内容のままとし、かつ前記無線通信部による通信を続行する。 According to the wireless LAN system configured as described above, a wireless LAN system including a wireless LAN controller and a wireless LAN access point is provided. (1) In the wireless LAN controller, the setting content transmission unit transmits the setting content set in the wireless LAN access point to the wireless LAN access point. A hash transmission unit transmits the hash value of the setting content to the wireless LAN access point. (2) In the wireless LAN access point, a setting unit sets the wireless LAN access point. The current setting content recording unit records the current setting content already set in the wireless LAN access point. The wireless communication unit communicates with the wireless LAN client. A hash receiving unit receives a hash value of the setting content from the wireless LAN controller. The hash comparison unit compares the current hash value, which is the hash value of the current setting content, with the received hash value.

 本発明の実施形態にかかる無線LANシステムは、無線LANコントローラ10および無線LANアクセスポイント20、無線LANクライアント30a、30bを備える。なお、図面においては、「無線LAN」の表記を省略し、コントローラ10、アクセスポイント20およびクライアント30a、30bと表記することがある。 The wireless LAN system according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a wireless LAN controller 10, a wireless LAN access point 20, and wireless LAN clients 30a and 30b. In the drawings, the notation of “wireless LAN” may be omitted, and may be referred to as the controller 10, the access point 20, and the clients 30a and 30b.
 無線LANアクセスポイント20は、無線LANクライアント30aおよび30bとの間で無線通信を行う。例えば、無線LANクライアント30aは、無線LANアクセスポイント20を介して、無線LANクライアント30bとの間で無線通信を行うことができる。 The wireless LAN access point 20 performs wireless communication with the wireless LAN clients 30a and 30b. For example, the wireless LAN client 30 a can perform wireless communication with the wireless LAN client 30 b via the wireless LAN access point 20.
 無線LANアクセスポイント20は、無線LANコントローラ10から設定内容(コンフィグ)を受信する。無線LANアクセスポイント20は、受信した設定内容に沿って、無線LANアクセスポイント20自身の設定を行う。設定内容とは、例えば、SSID、無線LANクライアント30a、30bとの間で用いる無線通信の帯域(例えば、2.4GHzまたは5GHz)、認証方式および暗号方式などといった無線通信に関するデータである。 The wireless LAN access point 20 receives the setting content (configuration) from the wireless LAN controller 10.

 図2は、本発明の実施形態にかかる無線LANコントローラ10および無線LANアクセスポイント20の構成を示す機能ブロック図である。 FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing configurations of the wireless LAN controller 10 and the wireless LAN access point 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
 無線LANコントローラ10は、コンフィグ生成部12、コンフィグ送信部(設定内容送信部)14、適用完了通知受信部(設定完了通知受信部)16、ハッシュ生成部102、ハッシュ送信部104を有する。 The wireless LAN controller 10 includes a configuration generation unit 12, a configuration transmission unit (setting content transmission unit) 14, an application completion notification reception unit (setting completion notification reception unit) 16, a hash generation unit 102, and a hash transmission unit 104.
 コンフィグ生成部12は、無線LANアクセスポイント20に設定する設定内容(コンフィグ)を生成する。 The configuration generation unit 12 generates setting contents (configuration) to be set in the wireless LAN access point 20.
 コンフィグ送信部(設定内容送信部)14は、無線LANアクセスポイント20に設定する設定内容(コンフィグ)を、コンフィグ生成部12から受けて、無線LANアクセスポイント20に送信する。 The configuration transmission unit (setting content transmission unit) 14 receives the setting content (configuration) set in the wireless LAN access point 20 from the configuration generation unit 12 and transmits it to the wireless LAN access point 20.
 適用完了通知受信部(設定完了通知受信部)16は、無線LANアクセスポイント20から適用完了通知(設定完了通知)を受信する。なお、適用完了通知(設定完了通知)とは、コンフィグ送信部14からの送信に沿った設定が無線LANアクセスポイント20においてなされている旨を示す信号である。 The application completion notification receiving unit (setting completion notification receiving unit) 16 receives an application completion notification (setting completion notification) from the wireless LAN access point 20. The application completion notification (setting completion notification) is a signal indicating that the setting along the transmission from the configuration transmission unit 14 is performed in the wireless LAN access point 20.
 適用完了通知受信部16は、適用完了通知を受信した旨を、コンフィグ送信部14に伝達する。この伝達を受けると、コンフィグ送信部14は、コンフィグの送信を終了し、コンフィグの送信を行わない。 The application completion notification receiving unit 16 notifies the config transmission unit 14 that the application completion notification has been received. Upon receiving this transmission, the configuration transmission unit 14 ends the transmission of the configuration and does not transmit the configuration.
 ハッシュ生成部102は、コンフィグをコンフィグ生成部12から受けて、コンフィグのハッシュ値を生成する。 The hash generation unit 102 receives the configuration from the configuration generation unit 12 and generates a hash value of the configuration.
 ハッシュ送信部104は、コンフィグのハッシュ値をハッシュ生成部102から受けて、無線LANアクセスポイント20に送信する。 The hash transmission unit 104 receives the hash value of the configuration from the hash generation unit 102 and transmits it to the wireless LAN access point 20.
 無線LANアクセスポイント20は、無線通信部22、コンフィグ記録部(現行設定内容記録部)23、コンフィグ受信部24、コンフィグ適用部(設定部)25、適用完了通知送信部26、ハッシュ受信部204、ハッシュ生成部206、ハッシュ比較部208を有する。 The wireless LAN access point 20 includes a wireless communication unit 22, a configuration recording unit (current setting content recording unit) 23, a configuration receiving unit 24, a configuration applying unit (setting unit) 25, an application completion notification transmitting unit 26, a hash receiving unit 204, A hash generation unit 206 and a hash comparison unit 208 are included.
 コンフィグ記録部(現行設定内容記録部)23は、既に無線LANアクセスポイント20に設定されている設定内容(「現行設定内容」という)を記録する。 The configuration recording unit (current setting content recording unit) 23 records the setting content already set in the wireless LAN access point 20 (referred to as “current setting content”).
 無線通信部22は、無線LANクライアント30a、30bと無線通信を行う。なお、無線通信部22は、コンフィグ記録部23に記録された現行設定内容にしたがって無線通信を行う。 The wireless communication unit 22 performs wireless communication with the wireless LAN clients 30a and 30b. The wireless communication unit 22 performs wireless communication according to the current settings recorded in the configuration recording unit 23.
 コンフィグ受信部24は、コンフィグ送信部14から送信されてきたコンフィグを受信する。 The configuration reception unit 24 receives the configuration transmitted from the configuration transmission unit 14.
 コンフィグ適用部(設定部)25は、無線LANアクセスポイント20の設定を行う。すなわち、コンフィグ適用部25は、コンフィグを無線LANアクセスポイント20に適用する。なお、無線LANアクセスポイント20の設定の際、コンフィグ適用部25は、設定の内容をコンフィグ記録部23に上書きする。 The config application unit (setting unit) 25 sets the wireless LAN access point 20. That is, the configuration application unit 25 applies the configuration to the wireless LAN access point 20. Note that, when setting the wireless LAN access point 20, the configuration application unit 25 overwrites the configuration recording unit 23 with the setting contents.
 適用完了通知送信部26は、無線LANアクセスポイント20へ、適用完了通知を送信する。 The application completion notification transmission unit 26 transmits an application completion notification to the wireless LAN access point 20.
 ハッシュ受信部204は、無線LANコントローラ10から、コンフィグのハッシュ値を受信する。 The hash receiving unit 204 receives the hash value of the configuration from the wireless LAN controller 10.
 ハッシュ生成部206は、現行設定内容をコンフィグ記録部23から読み出し、現行設定内容のハッシュ値である現行ハッシュ値を生成する。 The hash generation unit 206 reads the current setting content from the configuration recording unit 23 and generates a current hash value that is a hash value of the current setting content.
 ハッシュ比較部208は、ハッシュ生成部206から現行ハッシュ値を受け、ハッシュ受信部204が受信したハッシュ値と比較する。現行ハッシュ値とハッシュ受信部204が受信したハッシュ値とが一致するということは、現行設定内容とコンフィグ送信部14により送信されるコンフィグとが同一であるということを意味する。 The hash comparison unit 208 receives the current hash value from the hash generation unit 206 and compares it with the hash value received by the hash reception unit 204. The fact that the current hash value matches the hash value received by the hash receiving unit 204 means that the current setting content and the config transmitted by the config transmitting unit 14 are the same.
 現行ハッシュ値とハッシュ受信部204が受信したハッシュ値とが一致する場合には、ハッシュ生成部206がその旨を、適用完了通知送信部26に伝達する。適用完了通知送信部26は、この伝達を受けて、適用完了通知を送信する。なお、この場合、無線LANアクセスポイント20の設定はコンフィグ記録部23に記録された現行設定内容のままとし、かつ無線通信部22による無線LANクライアント30a、30bとの無線通信は続行される。 If the current hash value and the hash value received by the hash receiving unit 204 match, the hash generation unit 206 notifies the application completion notification transmission unit 26 to that effect. The application completion notification transmission unit 26 receives this transmission and transmits an application completion notification. In this case, the setting of the wireless LAN access point 20 remains the current setting recorded in the configuration recording unit 23, and the wireless communication with the wireless LAN clients 30a and 30b by the wireless communication unit 22 is continued.
 現行ハッシュ値とハッシュ受信部204が受信したハッシュ値とが一致しない場合は、ハッシュ生成部206がその旨を、コンフィグ適用部25に伝達する。コンフィグ適用部25は、無線通信部22による無線通信を停止させる。その後に、コンフィグ適用部25は、無線LANコントローラ10から受信した設定内容に沿って設定を行う。最後に、コンフィグ適用部25は、無線通信部22による無線通信を再開させる。 When the current hash value and the hash value received by the hash receiving unit 204 do not match, the hash generation unit 206 notifies the configuration application unit 25 to that effect. The configuration application unit 25 stops the wireless communication by the wireless communication unit 22. Thereafter, the configuration application unit 25 performs setting according to the setting content received from the wireless LAN controller 10. Finally, the configuration application unit 25 resumes wireless communication by the wireless communication unit 22.
 次に、本発明の実施形態の動作を説明する。 Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
 図3は、本発明の実施形態にかかる無線LANコントローラ10および無線LANアクセスポイント20の動作を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing operations of the wireless LAN controller 10 and the wireless LAN access point 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
 まず、無線LANコントローラ10のコンフィグ生成部12がコンフィグを生成し、コンフィグ送信部14に与える。また、コンフィグ生成部12はコンフィグをハッシュ生成部102に与える。ハッシュ生成部102により、コンフィグのハッシュ値が生成される(S12)。 First, the configuration generation unit 12 of the wireless LAN controller 10 generates a configuration and gives it to the configuration transmission unit 14. The configuration generation unit 12 provides the configuration to the hash generation unit 102. The hash value is generated by the hash generation unit 102 (S12).
 生成されたコンフィグのハッシュ値は、ハッシュ送信部104により、無線LANアクセスポイント20に送信される(S14)。 The hash value of the generated configuration is transmitted to the wireless LAN access point 20 by the hash transmission unit 104 (S14).
 無線LANアクセスポイント20のハッシュ受信部204が、無線LANコントローラ10からハッシュ値を受信する(S24)。 The hash receiving unit 204 of the wireless LAN access point 20 receives the hash value from the wireless LAN controller 10 (S24).
 ハッシュ生成部206が、既に無線LANアクセスポイント20に設定されている設定内容である現行設定内容をコンフィグ記録部23から読み出し、現行設定内容のハッシュ値である現行ハッシュ値を生成する。 The hash generation unit 206 reads the current setting content that is already set in the wireless LAN access point 20 from the configuration recording unit 23, and generates a current hash value that is a hash value of the current setting content.
 ハッシュ比較部208は、ハッシュ生成部206から現行ハッシュ値を受け、ハッシュ受信部204が受信したハッシュ値と比較する(S25)。 The hash comparison unit 208 receives the current hash value from the hash generation unit 206 and compares it with the hash value received by the hash reception unit 204 (S25).
 (A)現行ハッシュ値と受信したハッシュ値とが一致しない場合の処理
 現行ハッシュ値と受信したハッシュ値とが一致しない場合は(S25、No)、ハッシュ比較部208がその旨を、コンフィグ適用部25に伝達する。コンフィグ適用部25は、無線をOFFにする(S26a)。すなわち、コンフィグ適用部25は、無線通信部22による無線通信を停止させる。
(A) Processing when the current hash value and the received hash value do not match If the current hash value and the received hash value do not match (S25, No), the hash comparison unit 208 indicates that fact and the config application unit. 25. The config application unit 25 turns off the radio (S26a). That is, the configuration application unit 25 stops wireless communication by the wireless communication unit 22.
 無線LANコントローラ10においては、ハッシュ送信部104からのハッシュ値の送信に引き続き、コンフィグ送信部14からコンフィグが送信される(S16)。 In the wireless LAN controller 10, following the transmission of the hash value from the hash transmission unit 104, the configuration is transmitted from the configuration transmission unit 14 (S16).
 コンフィグ送信部14から送信されたコンフィグは、無線LANアクセスポイント20のコンフィグ受信部24により受信される(S26b)。 The config transmitted from the config transmitter 14 is received by the config receiver 24 of the wireless LAN access point 20 (S26b).
 その後、コンフィグ適用部25は、無線LANコントローラ10から受信した設定内容(コンフィグ)をコンフィグ受信部24から受け、それを無線LANアクセスポイント20に適用する(S26c)。すなわち、コンフィグ適用部25は、コンフィグ受信部24が無線LANコントローラ10から受信した設定内容(コンフィグ)に沿って設定を行う。 Thereafter, the configuration application unit 25 receives the setting content (configuration) received from the wireless LAN controller 10 from the configuration reception unit 24 and applies it to the wireless LAN access point 20 (S26c). That is, the configuration application unit 25 performs settings according to the setting content (configuration) received by the configuration reception unit 24 from the wireless LAN controller 10.
 設定完了の後、コンフィグ適用部25は、無線通信部22による無線通信を再開させ(無線ON)(S26d)、設定完了の旨を適用完了通知送信部26に伝達する。適用完了通知送信部26は、この伝達を受け適用完了通知(設定完了通知)を送信する(S28)。 After the setting is completed, the configuration application unit 25 restarts the wireless communication by the wireless communication unit 22 (wireless ON) (S26d), and notifies the application completion notification transmission unit 26 that the setting is completed. The application completion notification transmission unit 26 receives this transmission and transmits an application completion notification (setting completion notification) (S28).
 無線LANコントローラ10の適用完了通知受信部16は、適用完了通知を受信する(S18)。 The application completion notification receiving unit 16 of the wireless LAN controller 10 receives the application completion notification (S18).
 (B)現行ハッシュ値と受信したハッシュ値とが一致する場合の処理
 現行ハッシュ値と受信したハッシュ値とが一致する場合は(S25、Yes)、ハッシュ比較部208がその旨を、適用完了通知送信部26に伝達する。適用完了通知送信部26は、この伝達を受けて、適用完了通知を送信する(S28)。適用完了通知受信部16は、適用完了通知を受信する(S18)。
(B) Processing when the current hash value matches the received hash value When the current hash value matches the received hash value (S25, Yes), the hash comparison unit 208 notifies the application completion notification. This is transmitted to the transmission unit 26. In response to this transmission, the application completion notification transmitter 26 transmits an application completion notification (S28). The application completion notification receiving unit 16 receives the application completion notification (S18).
 なお、ハッシュ値の比較(S25、Yes)から適用完了通知の送信(S28)までの間においては、無線通信部22による無線LANクライアント30a、30bとの無線通信は続行される(無線ONのまま)。また、無線LANアクセスポイント20の設定はコンフィグ記録部23に記録された現行設定内容のままである。 The wireless communication with the wireless LAN clients 30a and 30b by the wireless communication unit 22 is continued between the comparison of the hash values (S25, Yes) and the transmission of the application completion notification (S28) (wireless ON remains). ). The setting of the wireless LAN access point 20 remains the current setting content recorded in the configuration recording unit 23.
 無線LANコントローラ10におけるハッシュ送信部104からのハッシュ値の送信に引き続き、コンフィグ送信部14からはコンフィグが送信される(S16)。このコンフィグは、コンフィグ受信部24により受信されるものの(S26b)、コンフィグ適用部25がコンフィグ受信部24の受信内容に沿った設定(S26c)を行うことはない。 Subsequently to the transmission of the hash value from the hash transmission unit 104 in the wireless LAN controller 10, the configuration is transmitted from the configuration transmission unit 14 (S16). Although this configuration is received by the configuration reception unit 24 (S26b), the configuration application unit 25 does not perform setting (S26c) according to the received content of the configuration reception unit 24.
 本発明の実施形態によれば、無線LANアクセスポイント20が、現時点の無線LANアクセスポイント20自身の設定と同一の設定を無線LANコントローラ10から受信しても、無線LANクライアント30a、30bとの無線通信を停止しない。 According to the embodiment of the present invention, even if the wireless LAN access point 20 receives the same setting from the wireless LAN controller 10 as the current setting of the wireless LAN access point 20 itself, the wireless LAN access point 20 can communicate with the wireless LAN clients 30a and 30b. Do not stop communication.
 すなわち、現時点の無線LANアクセスポイント20自身の設定と同一の設定を無線LANコントローラ10から受信するということは、現行設定内容とコンフィグ送信部14により送信されるコンフィグとが同一であるということを意味する。これは、さらにハッシュ生成部206が生成した現行ハッシュ値とハッシュ受信部204が受信したハッシュ値とが一致する(S25、Yes)ということである。この場合、無線通信部22による無線LANクライアント30a、30bとの無線通信は続行される(無線ONのまま)。そもそも、無線LANアクセスポイント20の設定はコンフィグ記録部23に記録された現行設定内容のままなので、無線OFF(S26a)を行ってまで、コンフィグ適用(S26c)を行う必要が無い。 That is, receiving the same setting from the wireless LAN controller 10 as the setting of the current wireless LAN access point 20 itself means that the current setting content and the configuration transmitted by the configuration transmission unit 14 are the same. To do. This further means that the current hash value generated by the hash generation unit 206 and the hash value received by the hash reception unit 204 match (S25, Yes). In this case, wireless communication with the wireless LAN clients 30a and 30b by the wireless communication unit 22 continues (wirelessly ON). In the first place, since the setting of the wireless LAN access point 20 remains the same as the current setting recorded in the configuration recording unit 23, it is not necessary to apply the configuration (S26c) until the wireless OFF (S26a) is performed.
 本発明の実施形態を比較例と対比することで、本発明の実施形態の効果をさらに説明する。 The effect of the embodiment of the present invention will be further described by comparing the embodiment of the present invention with a comparative example.
 図4は、本発明の実施形態と対比する比較例の動作を示すフローチャートである。図4における比較例においては、無線LANコントローラ10にハッシュ生成部102およびハッシュ送信部104が無く、無線LANアクセスポイント20にハッシュ受信部204、ハッシュ生成部206およびハッシュ比較部208が無いものを想定している。 FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the comparative example compared with the embodiment of the present invention. In the comparative example in FIG. 4, it is assumed that the wireless LAN controller 10 does not have the hash generation unit 102 and the hash transmission unit 104, and the wireless LAN access point 20 does not have the hash reception unit 204, the hash generation unit 206, and the hash comparison unit 208. is doing.
 なお、図4においては、図3と同様な工程は図3と同じ符号を付して詳細な説明を省略する。 In FIG. 4, steps similar to those in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 3, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
 まず、無線LANコントローラ10において、コンフィグ送信部14からコンフィグが送信される(S16)。 First, in the wireless LAN controller 10, a configuration is transmitted from the configuration transmission unit 14 (S16).
 次に、コンフィグ送信部14から送信されたコンフィグは、無線LANアクセスポイント20のコンフィグ受信部24により受信される(S26b)。コンフィグ適用部25は、無線をOFFにする(S26b-1)(図3のS26aに相当)。すなわち、コンフィグ適用部25は、無線通信部22による無線通信を停止させる。なお、比較例における無線OFF(S26b-1)は、現行設定内容とコンフィグ送信部14により送信されるコンフィグとが同一であっても行われることに留意されたい。 Next, the config transmitted from the config transmitter 14 is received by the config receiver 24 of the wireless LAN access point 20 (S26b). The configuration application unit 25 turns off the radio (S26b-1) (corresponding to S26a in FIG. 3). That is, the configuration application unit 25 stops wireless communication by the wireless communication unit 22. It should be noted that the wireless OFF (S26b-1) in the comparative example is performed even if the current setting content and the configuration transmitted by the configuration transmission unit 14 are the same.
 その後、コンフィグ適用(S26c)、無線通信の再開(無線ON)(S26d)、適用完了通知の送信(S28)が図3と同様に、無線LANアクセスポイント20において行われる。 Thereafter, configuration application (S26c), resumption of wireless communication (wireless ON) (S26d), and transmission of an application completion notification (S28) are performed in the wireless LAN access point 20, as in FIG.
 さらに、無線LANコントローラ10の適用完了通知受信部16は、適用完了通知を受信する(S18)。 Furthermore, the application completion notification receiving unit 16 of the wireless LAN controller 10 receives the application completion notification (S18).
 図4に示す比較例によれば、現行設定内容とコンフィグ送信部14により送信されるコンフィグとが同一であっても無線OFF(S26b-1)が行われる。しかし、本発明の実施形態によれば、現行設定内容とコンフィグ送信部14により送信されるコンフィグとが同一であれば、無線OFF(S26a)(図3参照)は行われないので、必要も無い無駄な無線OFFを回避できる。 According to the comparative example shown in FIG. 4, the wireless OFF (S26b-1) is performed even if the current setting content and the config transmitted by the config transmitter 14 are the same. However, according to the embodiment of the present invention, if the current setting content and the config transmitted by the config transmission unit 14 are the same, the wireless OFF (S26a) (see FIG. 3) is not performed, so there is no need. Useless wireless OFF can be avoided.
 また、上記の実施形態は、以下のようにして実現できる。CPU、ハードディスク、メディア(フロッピー(登録商標)ディスク、CD-ROMなど)読み取り装置を備えたコンピュータに、上記の各部分、例えば無線LANコントローラ10または無線LANアクセスポイント20の各部分を実現するプログラムを記録したメディアを読み取らせて、ハードディスクにインストールする。このような方法でも、上記の機能を実現できる。 Further, the above embodiment can be realized as follows. A program that implements each of the above-described parts, for example, each part of the wireless LAN controller 10 or the wireless LAN access point 20, on a computer having a CPU, a hard disk, and a medium (floppy (registered trademark) disk, CD-ROM, etc.) reader. Read the recorded media and install it on the hard disk. Such a method can also realize the above functions.
