中文摘要：

随着无线通讯技术的发展，无线局域网的出现给Intemet的应用带来了革命性的变化。IEEE802．11技术的发展，导致大规模部署WIAN网络已成为～种必然趋势，分布式管理和集中式管理的WLAN网络结构是当前主要的体系。集中式管理的WLAN网络由于把无线的业务功能集中在AC上，能够更有效更灵活地配置和管理网络，CAPWAP协议是针对集中式管理的WLAN网络中AC与AP之间的通信提出的最新的标准。文中对基于CAPWAP协议的两种配置无线局域网的方法进行了详细地分析，构建拓扑并通过编写测试例对两种配置方法进行了验证。

英文摘要：

Along with the development of RF technology, WLAN leads to a revolution in lntemet. The development of IEEE802.11 re sults in deploying WLAN cosmically and necessarily. Distributed and centralized architecture is the main architectures of WLAN. It seems that the centralized one is more available and neatly for the management and configuration of WLAN, with the operation of the RF administration focusing on the AC. CAPWAP has been brought forward for the communication of AC and AP in the centralized WLAN. In this paper, two methods of managing and configuring WLAN based on CAPWAP are analyzed. A topology has been built and the methods are tested, clearly showing the mechanisms are available in managing and configuring large-scale WLAN.
