Wireless Networking Capabilities
Networking between APs and ACs | APs and ACs can be connected through a Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.APs can be directly connected to an AC and powered by a 24-port PoE switch.ACs can function as both access and aggregation switches.APs are deployed on a private network, while ACs are deployed on the public network to implement NAT traversal.ACs can be used for Layer 2 bridge forwarding or Layer 3 routing. |
Forwarding mode | Direct forwarding (distributed forwarding or local forwarding)Tunnel forwarding (centralized forwarding)Centralized authentication and distributed forwardingBefore users are authenticated, tunnel forwarding is used. After users are authenticated, local forwarding is used. |
Wireless networking mode | WDS bridging:Point-to-point (P2P) wireless bridgingPoint-to-multipoint (P2MP) wireless bridgingAutomatic topology detection and loop prevention (STP) |
AC discovery | An AP can obtain the AC6605-26-PWR's IP address in any of the following ways:Static configurationDHCP Option 43DNSThe AC6605-26-PWR uses DHCP to allocate IP addresses to APs.Huawei APs are identified by the Option 60 field.DHCP relay is supported.On a Layer 2 network, APs can discover the AC6605-26-PWR by sending broadcast or multicast CAPWAP packets. |
CAPWAP tunnel | Centralized CAPWAPCAPWAP control tunnel and data tunnel (optional).CAPWAP tunnel forwarding and direct forwarding in an extended service set (ESS).Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) encryption, which is enabled by default for the CAPWAP control tunnelHeartbeat detection and tunnel reconnection. |
Active and standby ACs | Enables and disables the switchback function.Supports load balancing.Supports 1+1 backup. |
Large Capacity, High Performance, Integrated DesignIntegrated design: An AC6605-26-PWR device integrates the AC and LSW units to provide wireless access and wired access/aggregation services.Large switching capacity: An AC6605-26-PWR device has 24 GE ports and 2 10GE ports, and provides 128 Gbit/s switching capacity.PoE: The AC6605-26-PWR supports the PoE function and can provide the maximum power on 24 ports. This PoE capability can provide power to APs and other powered devices (PDs) connected to the AC unit.
Carrier-Class ReliabilityPort backup based on the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) or Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).Redundant AC/DC power supplies.Hot swappable power supplies.
Easy-to-Install and Easy-to-MaintainThe AC6605-26-PWR dimensions (width x depth x height) are 442 mm × 420 mm × 44.4 mm and the AC6605-26-PWR can be installed in a standard cabinet.Power supplies are hot swappable, facilitating maintenance.The AC6605-26-PWR can be managed by the eSight that provides various northbound interfaces.The AC6605-26-PWR supports the Boolean port for environmental monitoring and the intra-board temperature probe, which monitors the operating environment of the AC6605-26-PWR in real time.
Energy ConservationLow noise fans that can adjust the speed automatically are used, thus reducing noises in the system and power consumption of fans.The chip switches to the power saving mode when no connected device is detected on a service interface, that is, the interface is idle.It uses highly-integrated and energy-saving chips produced through advanced processing techniques. With the help of the intelligent device management system, the chips not only improve system performance but also greatly reduce power consumption of the entire system.
