CAPWAP stands for Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points.
The HCIA-Datacom V2.0 Training Material explains that Huawei WAC + Fit AP networking uses CAPWAP tunnels to establish communication between wireless access controllers and Fit APs.
A WAC centrally manages and configures APs, reducing the need to configure individual APs separately.
CAPWAP supports control tunnels and data tunnels.
Control tunnels transmit management and control information, including configuration delivery, AP status management, and other control messages.
Data tunnels can transport wireless user traffic when tunnel forwarding is enabled.
CAPWAP also supports Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS), improving the security of communication between the WAC and APs.
This architecture is widely used in enterprise WLAN deployments that require centralized management.
Therefore, the required acronym is CAPWAP.
