Hi,

This is second open issue we would discuss during IETF 74 meeting.

#2 Dot11 MIB should add a new Terminology  “WLAN Profile

Why is it required?
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The issues were found by Editors.
In the Dot11 MIB 03, we changed the value scope
of capwapDot11WlanId from (1..16) to (1..512) as AC side could
Configure WLAN Service more than 16 (capwapDot11WlanTable).
But for the operation of  WLAN Id binding to
Radio (capwapDot11WlanBindTable), it would conflict
with RFC5416,  as it specify the value scope of WLAN id is 1 to 16.

How to close it?
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
In the section “Overview”’ of new version , we should
bring forward a new terminology “WLAN Profile”,
which is a configuration profile which includes several
parameters such as MAC Mode.  The value scope of profile’s
Id is 1 to 512. Also, it should explain
the relationship between WLAN Profile Id and WLAN ID.

For MIB table, Current WLAN ID object in the
table capwapDot11WlanTable  should be replaced with
WLAN Profile Id.
and capwapDot11WlanBindTable should add a WLAN Profile Id
Object.

System behavior would be:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Suppose WLAN Profile Id configured is 32 (more than 16),
when bind it with a radio (CapwapDot11WlanEntry),
system internally should check what WLAN id
should be allocated and assign an unused value to
capwapDot11WlanBindWlanId.

For example, for a specific radio,  if it is already allocated
WLAN id 8, when new configuration WLAN Profile Id 32 is set,
WLAN id 9 should be assigned to this new configured WLAN on
This WTP's radio.

Richard
