Method for achieving many-to-one hot standby of Portal gateways

Abstract

The invention provides a method for achieving many-to-one hot standby of Portal gateways. The method is characterized in that a server and at least one group field gateway are arranged, wherein the group field gateway is connected with the upper server and lower intermediary equipment of AC equipment, and comprises a plurality of main gateways and a standby gateway which are all in heartbeat communication with the server; under normal circumstances, the standby gateway disables a corresponding lower connection interface, each master gateway enables a corresponding lower connection interface and sends the interface status to the server through a heartbeat packet, the server updates main gateway status information in a memory, and when the standby gateway sends a heartbeat packet to the server, the server notifies the standby gateway to download a configuration file of the abnormal main gateway and enable the corresponding lower connection interface for provision of network access services; the current main gateway uploads a normal heartbeat packet to the server when resuming the normal status, the server notifies the standby gateway to disable the corresponding lower connection interface, and the current main gateway enables the corresponding lower connection interface to resume the provision of the network access services. The method provided by the invention has the advantages that many-to-one real-time hot standby services can be achieved, so that equipment input costs are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of data communication, in particular to a method for realizing many-to-one hot backup of Portal gateways. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the mobile Internet, users have increasingly strong demand for public WiFi Internet access. The Portal gateway is an intermediate device that serves the operator's network, uplinks the Portal management platform, and downlinks the AC device. It provides users with personalized WiFiPortal services. Because the Portal gateway Deployed in the MAN, serving a large number of network users, operators have extremely high requirements for equipment stability. With the development of business, the number of Portal gateway deployments increases. The existing dual-system hot backup method is adopted, that is, each The main gateway is equipped with a backup gateway, which causes redundancy of the backup gateway and increases the procurement cost of the operator.
