Testing environment setup
The minimum testing system requirements are listed below.
- Two test machines: One as test machine, the other as peer machine in IBSS network testing. If only BSS is tested, one test machine is enough.
- One server machine: The server machine needs two Ethernet cards, one connects to the Test machine network and the other to the AP network.
- One AP: Support Cisco AP, Dlink and ASUS AP with CLI (Command Line Interface). For example, Dlink DWL-8200 AP and Cisco1200 series AP.
Here is an example of our test environment:
