The AP6050DN andAP6150DN can work as a Fat AP, Fit AP, or cloudAP. TheAP can
switch flexibly among three working modes based on the network plan.
Typical networking modes are as follows:

In this networking, theAP functions as a FitAP. TheAC is responsible for user access,AP
go-online,AP management, authentication, routing, security, and QoS. Huawei products that
provide theAC function include theAC6605, AC6005, ACU2 (with S7700, S9700, or
S12700), S5720HI, S7700 (with X series board), S9700 (with X series board), and S12700
(with X series board).
Figure 1-2 FitAP networking (WDS mode: point-to-point)
Figure 1-3 FitAP networking (WDS mode: point-to-multipoint)
In this networking, theAP 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, theAP supports point-to-point (P2P) and
point-to-multipoint (P2MP) networking modes. Supporting 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency
bands, theAP can implement wireless bridging and access functions.

Figure 1-4 FitAP 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.

In this networking, the device functions as a cloud AP and works with the Agile
Controller-Cloud Manager on the same cloud for user access,AP online, authentication,
routing,AP management, security, and QoS. An enterprise can choose to use the Portal
authentication server integrated in the Agile Controller-Cloud Manager or the authentication
server deployed by itself.
