Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, a kind of embodiment of method, device and the wireless access point device of wireless controller Hot Spare that realizes that the embodiment of the invention is provided is described in detail.
The network architecture diagram of the method for the Hot Spare of the wireless controller that the embodiment of the invention provides as shown in Figure 2, connected each AP of AC in the wireless network (connects as setting up CAPWAP between the AP1 among Fig. 2～AP3), and set up netted (MESH) network connection between each AP in advance, but each AP is the data by this MESH network transmission wireless client, but by and AC between the data of CAPWAP tunnel transmission wireless client.Certain AP (for example being the AP1 among Fig. 2) in each AP that AC connects is configured to the MPP in the MESH network in advance, and this AP1 as shown in Figure 3, needs to carry out following step as the equipment of the Hot Spare of AC:
Carry out Hot Spare between the connected AC of S301, AP1;
The operating state of S302, the AC of AP1 detects; When AP1 detects AC and breaks down, carry out following step S303; Otherwise execution in step S302 again;
Other AP (as the AP2 among Fig. 2 and AP3) of being connected with AC of S303, AP1 announcement convert the MESH network connection to, and and other AP between provide the access information of serving and backing up client during AC breaks down for wireless client by the MESH network;
S304, AP1 continue the operating state of AC is detected, and are detecting AC by fault recovery just often detecting after AC breaks down, and carry out following step S304; Otherwise, execution in step S304 again;
The client access information of the backup during S305, AP1 break down described AC is given synchronously described AC, and with other AP recover with described AC between communicate by letter.
Among the above-mentioned steps S301, AP1 receives the configuration information of the WLAN (wireless local area network) that AC comes synchronously and the access authentication information of each wireless client in real time, the configure packet purse rope of WLAN (wireless local area network) closes configuration information, wireless LAN safety configuration information etc., and the access authentication information of wireless client comprises information such as client identification that client certificate is relevant and password.
In above-mentioned steps S302, whether AP1 detects AC by following manner and breaks down:
AP1 regularly sends the keep-alive message to AC, if do not receive the response message that AC returns in the time of setting, determines that then AC breaks down; Otherwise, determine that AC is working properly.
The keep-alive message does not need to send by the encapsulation of the CAPWAP tunnel between AC and the AP1, generates and sends the keep-alive method of message and belong to the state of the art, does not repeat them here.
In above-mentioned steps S304, after AP1 detected AC and breaks down, AP1 detected AC by following manner and whether recovers normal:
AP1 regularly sends the keep-alive message to AC after definite AC breaks down, if receive the response message that AC returns in the time of setting, determine that then AC is normal by fault recovery, otherwise, determine that AC does not recover normal.
Among the above-mentioned steps S303, this AP1 is owing to the MPP that is configured in advance in the MESH network, namely this AP1 holds a concurrent post the role of MP among the MESH (the MESH access point of service is provided) and Portal (access point of MESH network and other non-MESH networks is provided) in the MESH network, in existing MESH network, MPP role's AP1 provides the access point of MESH wireless service simultaneously and provides MESH and the access point of other non-MESH networks, when AC breaks down, this AP1 takes over the work of AC, the communication mode of each AP that will be connected with AC is changed into the communication mode of MESH network, particularly, at first, the configuration information of the WLAN (wireless local area network) that gets access in the Hot Spare process with AC before this AP1 incites somebody to action, convert the configuration information of corresponding MESH network to, then by with other AP between the MESH that sets up in advance be connected, the configuration information of the MESH network after the conversion is issued to other AP, like this, AP1 as MPP, take over AC relevant AP management and user access control work, simultaneously also with other each AP as MP role, form a MESH network, when AC breaks down, continue as wireless client service is provided.
In above-mentioned steps S305, the client access information of the backup during AP breaks down AC is given AC synchronously, and with other AP recover with this AC between communicate by letter, specifically comprise the steps:
The authentication information of the wireless client that inserts during AP1 breaks down AC is synchronously to this AC;
The wireless client that inserts between age at failure comprises the wireless client that inserts again then and the wireless client that inserts this WLAN (wireless local area network) for the first time because the AC fault goes offline.
AP1 recover with AC between communicate by letter, and by the MESH network connection of setting up in advance announce other AP recover with AC between communicate by letter.Like this, network returns to the state of AC before breaking down again.Be responsible for the management of each AP and the cut-in operation of wireless client by AC, though the MESH network connection is arranged between each AP, do not carry out the transmission of the data of wireless client by this MESH network.
Based on same inventive concept, the embodiment of the invention also provides a kind of device and wireless access point device of realizing the wireless controller Hot Spare, because these devices and the equipment principle of dealing with problems a kind ofly realize that the method for wireless controller Hot Spare is similar to aforementioned, therefore the enforcement of these devices and equipment can repeat part and repeat no more referring to the enforcement of method.
