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).

Product Description

1 Product Positioning and Characteristics

In this networking, the device functions as a Fat AP to implement functions such as user access, authentication, data security, service forwarding, and QoS.

Figure 1-3 Cloud AP networking

In this networking, the device functions as a cloud AP and works with the Agile ControllerCampus 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-Campus or the authentication server deployed by itself.
