1. A method for configuring an OpenFlow instance, which is applicable to an access controller (AC), wherein at least one access point (AP) accesses the AC, and the method comprises:
obtaining configuration information of a global instance and configuration information of an AP instance corresponding to each AP;
sending the configuration information of a corresponding AP instance to each AP respectively, so that each AP creates the AP instance based on received configuration information of the AP instance, and binds an AP identifier to the created AP instance;
creating the global instance based on the configuration information of the global instance; and
binding an AC identifier and the AP identifier of each AP to the global instance, wherein a wireless virtual interface created by the AP is bound to the AP instance, such that when the wireless virtual interface of the AP changes, it is not needed to re-configure the AP instance.
