Wireless and CAPWAP

Wireless support gives netverdict enough controller/AP behaviour for campus training scenarios: WLAN profiles, AP registration, client attachment, selected EAP flows, and CAPWAP-style control-plane state.

Support level

Area	Level	Notes
WLAN profiles	Behaviour model	SSID/security/profile configuration.
AP/controller state	Behaviour model	AP joins controller and receives profile intent.
CAPWAP	Behaviour model	Control-plane state and selected wire representation.
EAP	Partial	Selected EAP authentication outcomes.
RF physics	Not modelled	No signal propagation or channel interference simulation.

Standards coverage

Standard	Coverage	Notes
CAPWAP RFC 5415	Partial	AP/controller control concepts.
IEEE 802.11	Minimal	WLAN/client association concepts, not RF/MAC fidelity.
IEEE 802.1X/EAP	Partial	Auth outcomes for selected scenarios.

Feature matrix

Feature	Status	Notes
WLAN/SSID config	Supported	Profile and SSID state.
AP join	Behaviour model	AP/controller association.
Client association	Behaviour model	Client attaches to WLAN when policy permits.
EAP outcome	Partial	Deterministic auth result.
Mobility	Partial	Limited scenario support.
RF planning	Not modelled	No channel/signal/roaming physics.

Behaviour notes

Wireless is intentionally a controller and policy model. It helps answer whether a configured WLAN should be available and whether a client is permitted to attach; it does not model RF airtime.

Examples

Canonical example

configure terminal
wlan USERS 10 USERS
 security wpa psk set-key ascii labpass
 no shutdown
end
show ap summary
show wireless client summary

Vendor styles

IOS-style

wlan USERS 10 USERS
 security wpa psk set-key ascii labpass
 no shutdown

WLC-style

wlan USERS 10 USERS
 security wpa psk set-key ascii labpass
 policy profile USERS-POLICY
 no shutdown

Junos / VyOS note

Wireless controller syntax is vendor-specific and not mapped to Junos or VyOS as primary targets in the current model.

Known limits

RF propagation, roaming algorithms, 802.11 frame-level exchanges, spectrum contention, advanced EAP methods, and vendor-controller feature parity are not complete.
