+ IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) Profile for Control and
22
+ Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP)
23

+ Abstract
25
+
26
+ The Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP)
27
+ protocol binding for IEEE 802.11 defines two Medium Access Control
28
+ (MAC) modes for IEEE 802.11 Wireless Transmission Points (WTPs):
29
+ Split and Local MAC. In the Split MAC mode, the partitioning of
30
+ encryption/decryption functions is not clearly defined. In the Split
31
+ MAC mode description, IEEE 802.11 encryption is specified as located
32
+ in either the Access Controller (AC) or the WTP, with no clear way
33
+ for the AC to inform the WTP of where the encryption functionality
34
+ should be located. This leads to interoperability issues, especially
35
+ when the AC and WTP come from different vendors. To prevent
36
+ interoperability issues, this specification defines an IEEE 802.11
37
+ MAC Profile message element in which each profile specifies an
38
+ unambiguous division of encryption functionality between the WTP and
39
+ AC.

+ 1. Introduction
120
+
121
+ The CAPWAP protocol supports two MAC modes of operation: Split and
122
+ Local MAC, as described in [RFC5415] and [RFC5416]. However, there
123
+ are MAC functions that have not been clearly defined. For example,
124
+ IEEE 802.11 [IEEE.802.11] encryption is specified as located in
125
+ either the AC or the WTP with no clear way to negotiate where it
126
+ should be located. Because different vendors have different
127
+ definitions of the MAC mode, many MAC-layer functions are mapped
128
+ differently to either the WTP or the AC by different vendors.
129
+ Therefore, depending upon the vendor, the operators in their
130
+ deployments have to perform different configurations based on
131
+ implementation of the two modes by their vendor. If there is no
132
+ clear specification, then operators will experience interoperability
133
+ issues with WTPs and ACs from different vendors.
134
+
135
+ Figure 1 from [RFC5416] illustrates how some functions are processed
136
+ in different places in the Local MAC and Split MAC mode.
137
+ Specifically, note that in the Split MAC mode, the IEEE 802.11
138
+ encryption/decryption is specified as WTP/AC, implying that it could
139
+ be at either location. This is not an issue with Local MAC because
140
+ encryption is always at the WTP.

+ To solve this problem, this specification introduces the IEEE 802.11

+ MAC Profile. The IEEE 802.11 MAC Profile unambiguously specifies

231
+ 2. IEEE MAC Profile Descriptions
232
+
233
+ A IEEE 802.11 MAC Profile refers to a description of how the MAC
234
+ functionality is split between the WTP and AC shown in Figure 1.
235
+
236
+ 2.1. Split MAC with WTP Encryption
237
+
238
+ The functional split for the Split MAC with WTP encryption is
239
+ provided in Figure 2. This profile is similar to the Split MAC
240
+ description in [RFC5416], except that IEEE 802.11 encryption/
241
+ decryption is at the WTP. Note that fragmentation is always done at
242
+ the same entity as the encryption. Consequently, in this profile
243
+ fragmentation/defragmentation is also done only at the WTP. Note
244
+ that scheduling functionality is denoted as WTP/AC. As explained in
245
+ [RFC5416], this means that the admission control component of IEEE
246
+ 802.11 resides on the AC; the real-time scheduling and queuing
247
+ functions are on the WTP.

+ An example of message exchange using the IEEE 802.11 MAC Profile
402
+ message element is shown in Figure 4. The WTP informs the AC of the
403
+ various MAC Profiles it supports. This happens in either a Discovery
404
+ Request message or the Join Request message. The AC determines the
405
+ appropriate profile and configures the WTP with the profile while
406
+ configuring the WLAN.

+ 3.1. IEEE 802.11 Supported MAC Profiles
432
+
433
+ The IEEE 802.11 Supported MAC Profile message element allows the WTP
434
+ to communicate the profiles it supports. The Discovery Request
435
+ message, Primary Discovery Request message, and Join Request message
436
+ may include one such message element.

+ 4. Security Considerations
485
+
486
+ This document does not introduce any new security risks compared to
487
+ [RFC5416]. The negotiation messages between the WTP and AC have
488
+ origin authentication and data integrity. As a result, an attacker
489
+ cannot interfere with the messages to force a less-secure mode
490
+ choice. The security considerations described in [RFC5416] apply
491
+ here as well.

+ 5. IANA Considerations
512
+
513
+ The following IANA actions have been completed.
514
+
515
+ o This specification defines two new message elements: IEEE 802.11
516
+ Supported MAC Profiles (described in Section 3.1) and the IEEE
517
+ 802.11 MAC Profile (described in Section 3.2). These elements
518
+ have been registered in the existing "CAPWAP Message Element Type"
519
+ registry, defined in [RFC5415].

+
521
+ CAPWAP Protocol Message Element Type Value
522
+ IEEE 802.11 Supported MAC Profiles 1060
523
+ IEEE 802.11 MAC Profile 1061
524
+
525
+ o The IEEE 802.11 Supported MAC Profiles message element and IEEE
526
+ 802.11 MAC Profile message element include a Profile field (as
527
+ defined in Section 3.2). The Profile field in the IEEE 802.11
528
+ Supported MAC Profiles denotes the MAC Profiles supported by the
529
+ WTP. The Profile field in the IEEE 802.11 MAC Profile denotes the
530
+ MAC Profile assigned to the WTP. The namespace for the field is 8
531
+ bits (0-255). This specification defines two values: zero (0) and
532
+ one (1) as described below. The remaining values (2-255) are
533
+ controlled and maintained by IANA, and the registration procedure
534
+ is Expert Review [RFC5226]. IANA has created a new subregistry
535
+ called "IEEE 802.11 Split MAC Profile" under the existing registry
536
+ "Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP)
537
+ Parameters". The registry format is given below.
