Abstract:
1. A method for configuring an access point AP, employed by an access controller AC, comprising: creating a virtual radio interface on the AC, which is assigned a standard Management Information Base MIB interface index, wherein the virtual radio interface corresponds to a physical radio interface of an AP; and the physical radio interface is uniquely identified according to a correspondence relationship between the interface index of the virtual radio interface and an identification of the physical radio interface, wherein the identification of the physical radio interface consists of an identifier of the AP the physical radio interface belongs to and an identifier of the physical radio interface; when receiving a configuration request from the AP, searching for the interface index of the virtual radio interface to which the identification of the physical radio interface which consists of the identifier of the AP the physical radio interface belongs and the identifier of the physical radio interface carried in the configuration request sent by the AP; sending configuration information on the virtual radio interface to the AP as a configuration response, wherein the configuration information is configured on the virtual radio interface according to the standard MIB.
