2 Configuring STA Management
2.1 Overview
STA Management (STAMG) implements station (STA) management, including STA access control management and STA
event notification. Event notification is mainly used to serve other function modules. Applications of the STAMG functions are
as follows:
The dynamic blacklist is used on a security-sensitive network to prevent user attacks.
The STA limit is used when the number of STAs exceeds the AP capacity.
Load balancing is used when STAs need to be evenly distributed to multiple APs.
Association control is used in the E-bag scenario.

Overview
Associates secondary STAs with APs in the same control zone if the primary STA is associated with
these APs.
2.3.1 Association Control
Association control is a method for controlling association behaviors of wireless STAs. STAs are divided into two groups. In
each group, only one STA is defined as the primary STA, and the other STAs are defined as secondary STAs. The
secondary STAs must follow the association behaviors of the primary STA. That is, the primary and secondary STAs must be
associated with the same wireless network. In this way, association behaviors of wireless STAs can be properly controlled.
Working Principle
The coverage area of a wireless network is divided into several association control zones. One or several APs are deployed
in each zone, and wireless terminals are divided into groups. The control zones that can be associated with the terminals are
strictly controlled. For example, a school has many classrooms, and a wireless AP is deployed in each classroom. Radio
