4 This document describes how to use the Control And Provisioning of
5 Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) feature in OpenDaylight. This document
6 contains configuration, administration, and management sections for the
12 CAPWAP feature fills the gap OpenDaylight Controller has with respect to
13 managing CAPWAP compliant wireless termination point (WTP) network
14 devices present in enterprise networks. Intelligent applications (e.g.
15 centralized firmware management, radio planning) can be developed by
16 tapping into the WTP network device’s operational states via REST APIs.
21 The CAPWAP feature is implemented as an MD-SAL based provider module,
22 which helps discover WTP devices and update their states in MD-SAL
23 operational datastore.
25 Scope of CAPWAP Project
26 -----------------------
28 In this release, CAPWAP project aims to only detect the WTPs and
29 store their basic attributes in the operational data store, which is
30 accessible via REST and JAVA APIs.
35 To install CAPWAP, download OpenDaylight and use the Karaf console to
36 install the following feature:
43 As of this release, there are no configuration requirements.
45 Administering or Managing CAPWAP
46 --------------------------------
48 After installing the odl-capwap-ac-rest feature from the Karaf console,
49 users can administer and manage CAPWAP from the APIDOCS explorer.
52 `http://${ipaddress}:8181/apidoc/explorer/index.html <http://${ipaddress}:8181/apidoc/explorer/index.html>`__,
53 sign in, and expand the capwap-impl panel. From there, users can execute
59 Viewing Discovered WTPs
60 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
65 This tutorial can be used as a walk through to understand the steps for
66 starting the CAPWAP feature, detecting CAPWAP WTPs, accessing the
67 operational states of WTPs.
72 It is assumed that user has access to at least one hardware/software
73 based CAPWAP compliant WTP. These devices should be configured with
74 OpenDaylight controller IP address as a CAPWAP Access Controller (AC)
75 address. It is also assumed that WTPs and OpenDaylight controller share
76 the same ethernet broadcast domain.
81 1. Run the OpenDaylight distribution and install odl-capwap-ac-rest from
85 `http://${ipaddress}:8181/apidoc/explorer/index.html <http://${ipaddress}:8181/apidoc/explorer/index.html>`__
89 4. Click /operational/capwap-impl:capwap-ac-root/
93 6. The above step should display list of WTPs discovered using ODL
