What is the impact of
service backup on terminal access under hierarchical AC networking?
The current hierarchical AC networking authentication and forwarding scheme only supports two cases:
1) authentication point in Central + forwarding point in AP;
2) authentication point and forwarding point are in Local.
Local-ac and central-ac disconnected case, will ensure that the online users are not affected, not interrupted. If the user can come back online depends on the network configuration:
1) if the central-ac authentication + AP local forwarding, the user is unable to come online, so the user disconnected wireless can not access;
2) if the local-ac authentication + local-ac forwarding, should be unaffected, the user disconnected wireless can again authenticate online successfully.
