Early Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) deployments feature a "fat"
Access Point (AP) which serves as a stand-alone interface between the
wired and wireless network segments. However, this model raises
scaling, mobility, and manageability issues, and the Control and
Provisioning for Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocol is meant to
address these issues. CAPWAP effectively splits the fat AP
functionality into two network elements, and the communication
channel between these components may traverse potentially hostile
hops. This document analyzes the security exposure resulting from
the introduction of CAPWAP, and summarizes the associated security
considerations for IEEE 802.11-based CAPWAP implementations and deployments.
