Huawei
AP5030DN
complies with
IEEE 802.11ac

capacity greatly
improves user
experience on
wireless
networks.
The AP5030DN can work as a Fat AP or Fit AP and switch flexibly between the two working
modes based on the network plan.
When the wireless network scale is small, customers need to purchase onlyAP products and
set theAPs to work as Fat APs. As the network scale expands, tens of or hundreds ofAPs
exist on the network. To simplify network management, customers are advised to purchase
ACs to perform centralized management on the APs and set the APs to work as Fit APs.
Typical networking modes are as follows:

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 FitAPmesh networking
On the preceding network,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.
