Huawei's box-type wireless controller AC6605 supports 24 PoE interfaces, and can directly supply power to APs connected to ACs in WLAN networking.

Question

Options

• ATrue
• BFalse

• A
  15% (8)
• B
  85% (47)

Explanation

Option B is correct because the AC6605, while a capable wireless controller, does not function as a PoE power source for directly connected APs in WLAN networking. In Huawei WLAN architectures, APs receive PoE power from access-layer switches (such as the S series), not from the AC itself - the AC communicates with APs over the network via CAPWAP tunnels for management and control purposes, not through a direct physical power connection. The statement conflates the role of a wireless controller with the role of a PoE-capable access switch, which are distinct devices with distinct responsibilities.

Option A is wrong because it accepts the false premise that the AC6605 can both host 24 PoE interfaces and use them to directly power APs in standard WLAN deployment - this misrepresents how ACs and APs interact in the architecture.

Memory tip: AC stands for Access Controller - its job is to control and manage APs, not to power them. Power comes from the PoE switch in the access layer; the AC sits higher in the network hierarchy and handles policy and tunneling, not cabling and current.
