Abstract

The invention discloses a method and equipment for role discovery and automatic wireless configuration of grid nodes. The method and the equipment are used for configuring and managing the grid nodes when the grid nodes fail occasionally or new grid nodes are added. The method includes: determining that the grid nodes serve as a mesh portal or a mesh point; if the grid nodes serve as the mesh portal, enabling the grid nodes to inform other grid nodes in the network of the capability of the grid nodes serving as the mesh portal; if the grid nodes serve as the mesh point, when the grid nodes recognize a unique wireless mesh network based on an associated network identifier such as a VC_ID (virtual controller identifier) or an SSID (service set identifier), enabling the grid nodes to attempt automatic wireless configuration to be connected with the corresponding wireless mesh network; and if more than one network identifier is discovered, delaying the grid nodes to be connected with the wireless mesh network until a selection is received.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to resource management and configuration in wireless digital networks. In particular, the application relates to role discovery and automatic wireless configuration of network devices in a wireless mesh network (WMN). Background technique [0002] The popularity and availability of wireless digital networks, including those operating under the IEEE 802.11 standard, is constantly evolving. However, this popularity brings with it issues of resource management and configuration. Specifically, when a network device joins a wireless mesh network after booting or rebooting, the network device needs to be properly set and configured to successfully become a member of the wireless mesh network. Usually, the management and configuration of such network devices are done manually by network administrators. This configuration of network devices in a remote office typically requires the input of setup information (e.g., whether the netwo...
