The AP6010DN-AGN and AP6010SN-GN 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 only AP products and
set the APs to work as Fat APs. As the network scale expands, tens of or hundreds of APs
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:
Issue 06 (2015-07-15)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
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 products that
provide the AC function include the AC6605, AC6005, ACU2 (with S7700, S9700, or
S12700), S5720HI, S7700 (with X series board), S9700 (with X series board), and S12700
(with X series board).

1 Product Positioning and Characteristics
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-tomultipoint (P2MP) networking modes. Supporting 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands, the
AP can implement wireless bridging and access functions.
Issue 06 (2015-07-15)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
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.

access, authentication, data security, service forwarding, and QoS.
