1 Huawei Wireless Access Controller Unit2 Brochure

2 Huawei Wireless Access Controller Unit2 Brochure Huawei Access Controller Unit 2 (ACU2) is a WLAN service unit installed on Huawei S12700/S9700/S7700 switches, and provides Access Controller (AC) functions. The ACU2 can be used to provide wireless services on large enterprise or campus networks. It features large capacity, high reliability, various types of services, and works with Huawei wireless Access Points (APs) to deliver large-scale, high-density access services. High access capacity and processing capability An ACU2 can manage a maximum of 2048 APs and 32K STAs. The ACU2 provides a nearly 40 Gbit/s line-speed forwarding capability. Flexible user policy management and authorization control capability The ACU2 implements per-user access control based on ACLs, VLAN IDs, and bandwidth limits sent from the RADIUS server. You can define user groups for users of different roles and apply access control policies to the user groups. Access of users in a user group is controlled based on the ACL, user isolation policy, and bandwidth limit applied to the user group. You can configure inter-group user isolation or intragroup user isolation as required to implement access control. Independent service unit, facilitating centralized deployment and capacity expansion The ACU2, as a switch card, provides both wired and wireless service capabilities, reducing space occupied and cables in equipment rooms and lowering network construction cost. Multiple ACU2s can be installed on a switch to manage N x 2,048 APs (N is the number of ACU2s). Visualized WLAN network management and maintenance The ACU2 and APs establish Fit AP + AC networking for centralized AP management, facilitating network management and maintenance. Huawei AC and AP products support the standard Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), which helps display topologies of wired and wireless networks for visualized management and maintenance. Product Characteristics A WLAN can be built rapidly by adding ACU2s to wired network switches. This shortens WLAN construction costs and time, and reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Huawei ACU2 leads the industry with the capacity to manage 2,048 APs. It provides flexible data forwarding, fine-grained user group management control policies, comprehensive radio management, and end-to-end QoS guarantees ac-Compatible Huawei ACU2 is compatible with Huawei ac wireless APs, permitting users to seamlessly expand wireless networks without incurring additional administrative or equipment expense. 1 WLAN

3 Typical Networking The ACU 2 can be installed on switches as a WLAN service unit. It can be deployed in the following modes: Inline mode The ACU2 is installed on the aggregation switch to manage downstream APs or APs connected to access switches. Bypass mode The ACU2 is installed on the aggregation switch, but the ACU2 and APs are located in different areas. APs communicate with the aggregation switch through Layer 3 routing.
