Service Requirements

Enterprise users can access the network through WLANs, which is the basic requirement of mobile office. Furthermore, users' services are not affected during roaming in the coverage area. On a traditional WLAN, users need to manually select an SSID and set authentication information to access the WLAN, causing poor user experience. To enhance user experience, Hotspot 2.0 services are deployed using a subscriber identity module (SIM) card for authentication. In this way, users can access the WLAN automatically without awareness.

Networking Requirements

AC networking mode: Layer 2 networking in bypass mode
DHCP deployment mode:
- The AC functions as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to APs.
- The aggregation switch (Switch_B) functions as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to STAs.
Service data forwarding mode: direct forwarding
