Method, device and system for accessing wireless local area network, wireless station, and wireless access point

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, a device and a system for accessing a wireless local area network, a wireless station, and a wireless access point. In the present invention, a wireless station bridge sets a virtual interface MAC address for an Ethernet device, so that the Ethernet device connected to the wireless station bridge has a corresponding MAC address in a wireless local area network, and therefore, the Ethernet device can access the wireless local area network by using a bridging function of the wireless station bridge.

主权项

1. A wireless station, comprising an Ethernet adapter, a wireless local area network adapter, a processor and a memory, wherein
each of the Ethernet adapter, the wireless local area network adapter, and the memory is connected to the processor; the Ethernet adapter receives a first Ethernet data frame sent by a first Ethernet device, wherein a source media access control (MAC) address of the first Ethernet data frame is a MAC address of the first Ethernet device connected to the wireless station; the processor generates a first wireless local area network data frame according to the first Ethernet data frame, wherein the first wireless local area network data frame comprises: a first transmitter MAC address that is a virtual interface MAC address associated with the source MAC address of the first Ethernet data frame, and the virtual interface MAC address is one of a plurality of virtual interface MAC addresses of the wireless station; and wherein after receiving the first Ethernet data frame, the processor generates a first correspondence between the source MAC address of the first Ethernet data frame and the virtual interface MAC address of the wireless station corresponding to the source MAC address of the first Ethernet data frame; and the wireless local area network adapter sends, to a wireless access point, the correspondence between the source MAC address of the first Ethernet data frame and the virtual interface MAC address of the wireless station.
