DESCRIPTION

Provides abstraction to the configuration information obtainable from Avaya (Trapeze) Wireless Controllers through SNMP.

This class emulates bridge functionality for the wireless switch. This enables end station MAC addresses collection and correlation to the thin access point the end station is using for communication.

Pseudo ARP Cache Entries

The controller snoops on the MAC->IP mappings. Using this as ARP cache data allows us to get MAC->IP mappings even for stations that only communicate locally. The data is gathered from nwss2300_sta_ip().

$nwss2300->at_netaddr(): Returns reference to hash of Pseudo Arp Cache Entries to IP Address
