Chapter 4 Fit AP In this chapter, we first provide an overview of AP centralized management. Then we describe the features and parameters supported in Fit AP mode.。 AP Centralized Management Overview 4.1 Terminology Client: A PC, laptop, or other terminals with a wireless Network Interface Card. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network): A WLAN is a type of local area network that uses high frequency radio waves rather than wires to transmit data. WAC-1000 / WAC-1001 (Wireless LAn Controller): An WAC-1000 / WAC-1001, also known as WLAN controller, is a network device that is used to control and manage access points in the network. AP (Access Point): An AP is a network device that acts as a base station for the wireless LAN, and acts as a bridge between wired and wireless networks. Fat AP: A standalone AP that independently controls and manages wireless clients. Fit AP: A simple AP that relies on WLAN controller to control and manage wireless clients. The Device in Fit AP mode can retrieve firmware and configuration file from the WLAN controller. Intra-Controller Roaming: Intra-controller roaming occurs when a wireless client roams between APs managed by the same WLAN controller. Layer 2 Roaming: Layer 2 roaming occurs when a wireless client roams between APs on the same subnet and VLAN. 4.2 Communication Process The figure below shows the communication process between a fit AP and WAC-1000 / WAC-1001. 15

Chapter 4
Fit AP
In this chapter, we first provide an overview of AP centralized management. Then we describe the
features and parameters supported in
Fit AP
mode.

AP
Centralized Management Overview
4.1
Terminology
Client:
A PC, laptop, or other terminals with a wireless Network Interface Card.
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network): A WLAN is a type of local area network that uses high
frequency radio waves rather than wires to transmit data.
WAC-1000 / WAC-1001 (Wireless LAn Controller): An WAC-1000 / WAC-1001, also known as
WLAN controller, is a network device that is used to control and manage access points in the
network.
AP (Access Point): An AP is a network device that acts as a base station for the wireless LAN, and
acts as a bridge between wired and wireless networks.
Fat AP:
A standalone AP that independently controls and manages wireless clients.
Fit AP:
A simple AP that relies on WLAN controller to control and manage wireless clients. The
Device in Fit AP mode can retrieve firmware and configuration file from the WLAN controller.
Intra-Controller Roaming:
Intra-controller roaming occurs when a wireless client roams between
APs managed by the same WLAN controller.
Layer 2 Roaming:
Layer 2 roaming occurs when a wireless client roams between APs on the
same subnet and VLAN.

Communication Process
