Method for AP configuration management and wireless terminal access control by cloud-side platform

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for AP configuration management and wireless terminal access control by a cloud-side platform. The method comprises the following steps: simulating a control message on an AP by an AC on a cloud-side application server; establishing an encryption tunnel between an equipment side (AP) and the cloud-side platform, wherein the adopted tunnel protocol between the AP and the cloud-side platform is a WT tunnel protocol; and running a client of the WT tunnel protocol in the AP software to realize the main functions of the soft AC: AP configuration management and terminal wireless access control. The method has the advantages that the hardware capacity expansion is greatly reduced, the limitation that the original hardware AC function adjusting is inflexible is solved through the soft AC by only needing to performing the capacity expansion on the server; the networking way is more simple and flexible. The highlight of the method is that the platform is deployed at the cloud-side, the deployment and maintenance cost can be reduced, the equipment and service management are integrated, the service coupling degree is high, the new function development is facilitated, the equipment is plug and play and can open the active registration and issuing configuration after being powered on; furthermore, the technical scheme disclosed by the invention is accessed based on the internet, the architecture is flexible, and the fast deployment and the cross-region networking are convenient.
