In this networking, the AP functions as a fit AP. The AC is responsible for user access, AP
go-online, AP management, authentication, routing, security, and QoS.Huawei AC products
include the AC6605, AC6005, ACU2 (with S7700, S9700, or S12700), S5720HI, S7700 (with
X1E board), S9700 (with X1E board), and S12700 (with X1E board).
Figure 1-2 Fit AP networking (WDS mode: point-to-point)
Figure 1-3 Fit AP networking (WDS mode: point-to-multipoint)
In this networking, the AP connects two or more independently wired or wireless LANs
through wireless links to construct a network on which users can exchange data. In Wireless
Distribution System (WDS) mode, the AP supports point-to-point (P2P) and
point-to-multipoint (P2MP) networking modes. With 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands,
the AP can implement wireless bridging and access functions.

Figure 1-4 Fit AP mesh networking
In this networking, APs function as mesh points (MPs) and are fully-meshed to establish an
auto-configured and self-healing wireless mesh network (WMN). APs with the gateway
function can work as the mesh portal points (MPPs) through which the WMN can provide
access to the Internet. Terminals connect to APs to access the WMN. The WMN uses
dedicated mesh routing protocols to guarantee high transmission quality and is more
applicable to scenarios that require high bandwidth and highly stable Internet connections.

occupation time for all users
Comprehensive
user access control
capability
Supports access control lists (ACLs) and implements user access
control based on the user group policy.
Provides fine-grained bandwidth management for each user.
Supports user isolation policies.
Supports uniform authentication on an AC.
Identifies the device type according to the organizationally unique
identifier (OUI) in the MAC address, user agent (UA) information
in an HTTP packet, and DHCP options in Fit AP mode.
The RADIUS server delivers packet forwarding, security, and
QoS policies according to the device type carried in the RADIUS
authentication and accounting packets in Fit AP mode.
High network
security
Open system authentication
WEP authentication/encryption
WPA/WPA2-PSK authentication and encryption
WPA/WPA2-802.1x authentication and encryption
WAPI authentication and encryption
Supports wireless intrusion detection system (WIDS) and wireless
intrusion prevention system (WIPS), including rogue device
detection and countermeasure, attack detection and dynamic
blacklist, STA/AP blacklist and whitelist.
Flexible
networking and
environment
adaptability
Provides flexible networking capabilities and applies to various
application scenarios. Mesh and WDS scenarios are supported
only in Fit AP mode.
Has strong environment adaptability. The AP can automatically
select the transmission rates, channels, and transmit power to
adapt to various radio environments and avoid interference in real
time.
Adjusts bandwidth allocation based on the user quantity and
environment to improve user experience.
Identifies interference sources such as baby monitors, Bluetooth
devices, digital cordless phones (at 2.4 GHz frequency band only),
wireless audio transmitters (at both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
frequency bands), wireless game controllers, and microwaves in
Fit AP mode and works with eSight to locate interference sources
and display spectrums.
Easy device
management and
maintenance
Automatically goes online and loads the configuration, and
supports plug-and-play (PnP) in Fit AP mode.
Supports batch upgrade.
Allows real-time monitoring on the network management system
