Usage
Scenario
Huawei
AP5030DN
complies with
IEEE 802.11ac
and can provide
gigabit access
for wireless
users. This high
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 functions as a fit AP and provides only data forwarding functions.
The AC is responsible for user access, AP go-online,AP management, authentication, routing,
security, and QoS.HuaweiAC products include theAC6605, AC6005, andAccess Controller
Unit (ACU2).

Figure 1-3 FitAPnetworking (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 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.

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 unified authentication on the AC in Fit AP mode.
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.
Manages APs locally on the web platform and supports HTTP or
HTTPS login, configuration, and maintenance in Fat AP mode.
Allows real-time monitoring on the network management system
(NMS) to facilitate remote configuration and fast fault location.
Supports the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to implement
automatic link discovery and obtain the network topology.
