Abstract: Examples provide new roaming test systems for network deployments that can be implemented remotely using a single physical AP. Examples achieve this elegant system by emulating a physical network deployment using a group of VAPs provisioned on the single physical AP (a VAP may refer to a logical or a virtual AP instance on a physical AP). Each VAP of CAP group may be configured to represent a physical AP of the physical network deployment (such a network deployment may be a prospective deployment or, an actual/set-up deployment). Examples can simulate/emulate a wireless client physically moving between physical APs of the network deployment by varying transmission power associated with each VAP as a function of time in a manner that mirrors how a wireless client would perceive transmission power varying for physical APs of the network deployment (represented by the VAPs) as the wireless client moves across the geographical site of the network deployment.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide network enabled control of a security device. Examples include determining that a client device is connected to a network, receiving a request from the client device to instruct a security device to perform an action, wherein the request comprises a key, authenticating the key received from the request, and based on the determination that the client device is authorized to connect to the network, and based on the authentication of the key, sending, by a network device, a signal to instruct the security device to perform the action.

Abstract: A method for processing a denial of service (DOS) includes: receiving a de-authentication/disassociation (D/D) frame by an access point (AP), determining by the AP a state of security association establishment between the AP and a client device, maintaining a connection between the AP and the client device if the security association is incomplete, sending a probe packet from the AP to the client device if security association is complete and the connection between the AP and the client device is in a non-PMF (protected management frames) setting, maintaining the connection if the client device responds to the probe packet, and terminating the connection if the client device does not respond to the probe packet.
