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
the Ethernet adapter is connected to the processor, the wireless local area network adapter is connected to the processor, 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 a frame header of the first wireless local area network data frame comprises a first transmitter MAC address and a first receiver MAC address, and the transmitter MAC address in the frame header of the first wireless local area network data frame is a virtual interface MAC address corresponding to 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 the wireless local area network adapter sends the first wireless local area network data frame.
