Analysis of controller performance in wireless LANs

Tema završnog rada je primjena kontrolera u bežičnim lokalnim mrežama te analiza njegovih mogućnosti. U radu su sažeto opisane značajke topologija bežičnih lokalnih mreža, kao i glavne karakteristike svakog načina izvedbe kontrolera u mreži. Posebno su istaknute mogućnosti kontrolera Ruckus ZoneDirector 1200, koji je korišten u praktičnom dijelu rada. U praktičnom dijelu realizirana je jednostavna mreža koja se sastoji od dvije pristupne točke i kontrolera, koji su spojeni preko komutatora. Na takvoj mreži istražene su mogućnosti koje kontroler nudi mrežnom administratoru, te su pokazane osnove rada s kontrolerom.The topic of the final work is the appliance of a wireless controller in a wireless local area network, and an analysis of its capabilities. The paper briefly describes the topology of wireless local area networks as well as the main features of each implementation of a wireless controller in a network. The controller used in the practical part of the paper is the Ruckus ZoneDirector 1200, whose features are particularly explained. In the practical part, a simple network has been made, consisting of two wireless access points and a controller, which are connected through a switch. In such a network, the possibilities offered by the controller to the network administrator have been explored, and the basics of work with a controller have been demonstrated
