Figure 1-1 Fit AP networking (AP mode)

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, S6720HI, S7700 (with X series board), S9700 (with X series board), and S12700 (with X series board).

Description

High network security

Open system authentication WEP authentication/encryption WPA/WPA2/WPA-WPA2-PSK authentication and encryption WPA/WPA2/WPA-WPA2-802.1x authentication and encryption

WPA, WPA2, and WPA-WPA2 support TKIP and CCMP encryption algorithms, where CCMP uses 128-bit advanced encryption standard (AES) encryption algorithm and has high security.

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.

Supports the MIMO antenna system.

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 display spectrums of interference sources.

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.
