AP (Access Point) emulation analog system based on CAPWAP (Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points) protocol

Abstract

The invention discloses an AP emulation analog system based on a CAPWAP protocol, and belongs to an emulation analog system. The system comprises an AC (Access Controller) and a module connected with the AC, wherein the module comprises an AP setting module, an AP creating module, a port configuration module and a control module; the AP setting module is used for setting the number of the virtual AP and the MAC (Media Access Control ) address of the initial virtual AP; the AP creating module is used for creating each AP according to the number of virtual AP and the initial virtual MAC address set by the AP setting module; the port configuration module is used for distributing a port for each virtual AP created by the AP creating module; the control module is used for controlling the steps that each virtual AP finishes access to the AC. The system has the benefits that through the AP emulation analog system based on the CAPWAP protocol, and the emulation analog test for the AC with large number of AP can be realized. Meanwhile, the system is suitable for product tests performed by AC production manufacturers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a simulation system, in particular to an AP simulation system based on the CAPWAP protocol. Background technique [0002] A wireless lan (wireless local area network) is generally composed of an AC (access controller) and an AP (wireless access point). Wherein, the AP is a wireless switch for a wireless network and is also the core of the wireless network. As the access point for mobile computer users to enter the wired network, APs are mainly used in broadband homes, buildings, and campuses, and can usually cover tens of meters to hundreds of meters. AC is the access control device of wireless lan. It is responsible for converging data from multiple APs and accessing the Internet. At the same time, it also needs to complete AP device configuration management, wireless user authentication, management, broadband access, security and other control functions. Through the CAPWAP protocol, basic functions such as AP discovery, joi...
