METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK TUNNEL, APPARATUS, AND ACCESS NETWORK SYSTEM

摘要

The embodiments of the invention provide a method for establishing a wireless local area network tunnel, an apparatus, and an access network system. An AC sends a first configuration message to an AP, where the first configuration message includes a first tunnel establishment configuration parameter, and the first tunnel establishment configuration parameter includes information about binding between an IP address of at least one BRAS and at least one SSID, so that the AP establishes a data tunnel with the BRAS according to the first tunnel establishment configuration parameter, and the AC establishes a control tunnel with the AP, thereby separating the data tunnel from the control tunnel, and reducing unnecessary overheads of the AC.

1. A method for establishing a wireless local area network tunnel, comprising:
sending, by an access controller, a first configuration message to at least one access point device, wherein the first configuration message comprises a first tunnel establishment configuration parameter, and the first tunnel establishment configuration parameter comprises information about binding between an Internet Protocol (IP) address of at least one broadband access server and at least one service set identifier, to enable the access point device to establish a data tunnel with the at least one broadband access server according to the first tunnel establishment configuration parameter; and establishing, by the access controller, a control tunnel with the at least one access point device.
