Figure 1 AC network scenario

 

Access controller module network scenario

As Figure 2 shows, the AC is installed on a Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch, the switch is connected to APs directly or over an IP network, and clients access the network through the APs.

Figure 2 Access controller module network Scenario

 

Wireless switch network scenario

As Figure 3 shows, the wireless switch that has both AC and switch functions is connected to APs directly or over an IP network, and clients access the network through the APs.

Feature matrix for the WX5000 series

 

 

NOTE:

The LSWM1WCM10 and LSWM1WCM20 modules on the WX5000 series adopt the OAA architecture. They work as OAP cards to exchange data and status and control information with the switches through their internal interfaces. Do not configure services such as QoS rate limiting and 802.1X authentication on XGE 1/0/1 of the LSWM1WCM10, and the logical aggregate interface BAGG1 formed by GE 1/0/1 and GE 1/0/2 of the LSWM1WCM20.

Feature matrix for the WX6000 series

 

 

NOTE:

·     The switch interface board of the WX6103 adopts OAA architecture and is installed on the slot with purple paint at slot sides. The WX6103 supports EWPX1WCMB0 and EWPX1WCMD0 main boards. The switch interface board exchanges data, and state and control information with the main board through internal interfaces. Do not configure services such as QoS rate limiting and 802.1X authentication on the internal interfaces.

·     This document only shows the feature matrix for the main boards (EWPX1WCMB0 and EWPX1WCMD0) of the WX6103. For configuration information about the switch interface board of the WX6103, see the H3C WX6103 Access Controller Switch Interface Board Configuration Guide and H3C WX6103 Access Controller Switch Interface Board Command Reference.

·     The LSQM1WCMB0/LSQM1WCMD0/LSBM1WCM2A0/LSRM1WCM2A1/LSRM1WCM3A1 of WX6000 series are OAP cards. Each OAP card is installed on the expansion slot of the switch and exchanges data and status and control information with the switch through internal interfaces. Do not configure services such as QoS rate limiting and 802.1X authentication on the internal interfaces.

Feature matrix for the WX3024E wireless switch

 

 

NOTE:

·     The access controller engine and switching engine of the WX3024E adopt the OAA architecture. The switching engine is integrated on the access controller engine as an OAP software. You actually log in to the access controller engine when you log in to the wireless switch by default. The GE 1/0/1 and GE 1/0/2 interfaces of the access controller engine form a logical interface BAGG1, and the GE1/0/29 and GE1/0/30 interfaces of the switching engine form a logical interface BAGG1. The two BAGG1 interfaces exchange data, status, and control information. Do not configure services such as QoS rate limiting and 802.1X authentication on these internal interfaces.

·     This document only shows the feature matrix for the access controller of the WX3024E. For feature and configuration information about the switching engine of the WX3024E, see the H3C WX3024E Wireless Switch Switching Engine Configuration Guide and H3C WX3024E Wireless Switch Switching Engine Command Reference.
