Features
• Supports IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g
• Supports 802.11h Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Transmit Power
Control (TPC)
• The IxWLAN SED chassis emulates up to 64 concurrent virtual stations,
while the IxWLAN SED-MR+ chassis supports up to 128 virtual stations.
• Interaction with virtual stations in real time
• Configuration and monitoring of virtual stations
• Externally forwards load from a third-party traffic generator to a System
Under Test
• For the external mode, frames can be captured based on the source 802.3
MAC address (Layer 2) or the source IP address (Layer 3).
• Event Log and performance statistics data
• vSTA support: 802.11 Authentication, Association, De-authentication, Disas-
sociation, Reassociation.
• The system supports Open-System, Shared-Key WEP, WPA, and 802.11i
(RSN) security, including 802.11i Pre-Authentication.
• The system supports 802.11i PMKSA caching and re-use.
• The system supports fast RADIUS reconnection in vSTAs configured for
WPA and RSN authentication types.
• The system allows for each vSTA to be configured with a unique SSID, to
transmit 802.11 Probe Request frames and to receive directed 802.11 Probe
Response frames. This allows users to configure vSTAs to exercise an AP’s
WLAN-to-VLAN code using a single IxWLAN chassis.
• Virtual stations may independently roam between APs comprising an ESS
wireless network.
• ICMP Echo Request/Reply (Ping)
• Security per vSTA ( Table 1-1 )
