ap设备的mac与bssid转换规则

X需要了解到 ap设备的mac与bssid转换规则

[john_d]

Perhaps Xin is referring to how Ruckus APs generate their BSSID MAC addresses from the base MAC address? Either way we could use more detail on why those values matter -- I can't imagine wanting to derive those without just asking the APs via SmartZone API or SNMP....

That logic is not overly complicated though.  

Assume APs base MAC Address - D8:38:FC:38:75:F0

2.4 GHz base MAC Address - D8:38:FC:38:75:F8

5 GHz base MAC Address - D8:38:FC:38:75:FC

Base MAC address would be used for mesh networks.

The 7th digit increases by 4 (in hex format) from the base MAC address.  Once all of the hex options are used there, the 12th digit increases by 1 and the 7th digit restarts in incrementing.  This is based off of their wlan0/1 base MAC address.  See below.

wlan47        up       AP     wlan47   1        d8:38:fc:f8:75:ff SSID16     

The interesting note here is that the 2.4 GHz radio gets wlans 0-14 and the 5 GHz radio gets wlans 32-47.  Doing the math there, the 2.4 GHz radio is limited to 15 SSIDs while the 5 GHz radio can actually accept 16.  This looks to be because of the recovery-ssid shown above assumed to be 2.4 GHz only.

Note some AP models only support up to 16 BSSIDs, so it'd be the 1st 8 per frequency. 


We had to figure out all of this so we could write some python scripts to rename APs within an Ekahau file automatically vs. manually.

Thank you very much for your answer. You have helped me a lot and the customer's problem has been solved.

Thanks John, that flipped a switch, and yes Brian thanks.
