H3C WX2800X Series Access Controller License - LIS-WX-64-BE

1. Product Overview

The H3C LIS-WX-64-BE is an enhanced license upgrade for the H3C WX2800X series next-generation Access Controllers (AC). It expands the management capacity of the WX2800X AC to support up to 64 Fit Access Points (APs). This product is engineered for small to medium-sized enterprises, integrating robust gateway functionalities with advanced wireless AC capabilities into a single, cost-effective appliance. Built on the innovative Comware V7 platform, it delivers superior performance, reliability, and a comprehensive feature set for modern wireless networks.

2. Key Characteristics

• All-in-One Design: Combines router (NAT, PPPoE, VPN) and wireless AC functionalities.
• Scalable Management: This LIS-WX-64-BE license enables control for up to 64 H3C Fit APs.
• Advanced RF Management: Features auto channel/power adjustment, load balancing, and coverage hole detection.
• Enhanced Security: Offers WPA3, WIPS/WIDS, Layer 7 deep packet inspection, and integrated firewall capabilities.
• Flexible Deployment: Supports centralized, distributed forwarding, and cloud management options.

3. Core Technologies & Standards

The H3C WX2800X platform, empowered by the LIS-WX-64-BE license, complies with key industry standards and employs cutting-edge technologies:

• Wireless Protocols: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ac wave2/ax (Wi-Fi 6), 802.11k/v/r for fast roaming.
• Security: WPA3, 802.1X, MAC authentication, Portal, WIDS/WIPS, IPv6 SAVI.
• Networking: CAPWAP, IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, GRE, IPSEC/SSL VPN, Bonjour Gateway.
• Management: Hierarchical AC, cloud management, Hotspot 2.0 (802.11u).

4. Operational Principle

The H3C WX2800X AC operates as the central brain of the wireless network. Fit APs discover the AC (via DHCP Option 43 or DNS) and establish a secure CAPWAP tunnel. The AC centrally manages all wireless services—SSIDs, user access policies, security, and RF parameters. User traffic can be forwarded centrally (tunneled to the AC) or distributed (locally switched at the AP), providing deployment flexibility. The integrated gateway handles routing, firewalling, and NAT functions, streamlining the network architecture.

5. Application Scenarios

The H3C WX2800X with a LIS-WX-64-BE license is ideal for centralized wireless management in:

• Medium-sized enterprise offices and campus networks.
• Retail chains and branch offices requiring secure guest access.
• Educational institutions like schools and training centers.
• Healthcare clinics for reliable connectivity and application prioritization.

9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the difference between the WX2860X and WX2880X models?
A: The primary difference is the maximum AP capacity. The WX2880X supports more APs and users. The LIS-WX-64-BE license can be used on both models to manage 64 APs.

Q: Does this license support managing Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) APs?
A: Yes, the H3C WX2800X platform with the appropriate license fully supports managing H3C 802.11ax APs.

Q: Can traffic be forwarded locally at the AP?
A: Yes, the controller supports both centralized and distributed (local) forwarding modes for flexible deployment.

Q: Is the license perpetual?
A: Please confirm the specific license terms at the time of purchase, as offerings may vary.

10. Important Precautions

• Ensure the license model (LIS-WX-64-BE) matches your base H3C WX2800X hardware model (WX2860X/WX2880X).
• Verify the environmental conditions (operating temperature: 0°C to 45°C).
• For optimal RF performance, proper planning of channel and power settings is required.
• Complies with safety standards (UL, IEC) and EMC regulations (FCC, CE).
• Refer to official H3C documentation for detailed installation and configuration guidelines.
