Method and System for Implementing Communication in WLAN

摘要

A method for implementing communication in a WLAN is provided. A routing device receives a packet from an authentication server. The packet carries an identifier of a user terminal and a pairwise master key PMK corresponding to the identifier of the user terminal. The routing device is an endpoint that initiates EAP authentication. The routing device manages the user terminal. The routing device from the packet obtains the identifier of the user terminal and the PMK. The routing device sends a control message to an access controller AC. The control message carries the identifier of the user terminal and the PMK. The AC manages the AP. The user terminal accesses the WLAN by using the AP. The routing device receives a response message from the AC.

1. A method for implementing communication in a wireless local area network (WLAN), wherein the method comprises:
receiving, by a routing device, a packet from an authentication server, wherein the packet carries an identifier of a user terminal and a pairwise master key (PMK) corresponding to the identifier of the user terminal and wherein the routing device is an endpoint that initiates Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication and manages the user terminal; obtaining, by the routing device, the identifier of the user terminal and the PMK from the packet; sending, by the routing device, a control message to an access controller (AC), wherein the control message carries the identifier of the user terminal and the PMK, the AC manages an access point (AP), and the user terminal accesses the WLAN by using the AP; and receiving, by the routing device, a response message from the AC, wherein the response message is used to respond to the control message.
