Abstract

With the development of smart devices, more and more applications are running over the wireless network. To improve the security and network resource management, administrators require visible application traffic statistics and application-based control. Huawei WLAN Access Controllers (ACs) provide the Application Identification function to support visible management and control of Layer 4 to 7 network attributes.

In the multi-AP environment, some clients may remain associated to the initially-connected AP even after the clients have moved and the signal has dropped to a very low level. Huawei Access Controllers support the Smart Roaming function to help clients roam to the best available AP for better single-user and overall network performance.

Huawei WLAN Access Controllers provide a built-in Web network management interface to support service deployment, network status monitoring, and problem intelligent diagnosis.
