Product Overview
The H3C WX2800X series represents a new generation of integrated gateway and wireless access controllers, designed to streamline network architecture and reduce total cost of ownership. The specific model LIS-WX-32-BE is an enhanced licensing unit that allows the managing of up to 32 access points. Built on the innovative Comware V7 platform, this series delivers robust user management, comprehensive RF control, multi-layer security, and supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. It is an ideal solution for small to medium businesses, branch offices, and retail environments seeking reliable and scalable wireless access control.
Key Characteristics
- Integrated Gateway and AC functionalities in a single appliance
- Supports management of 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) Access Points
- Comware V7 OS with multi-core architecture and user-mode task isolation
- Flexible forwarding modes: centralized and distributed
- Carrier-class user access control with role and location-based policies
- Layer 4-7 deep packet inspection and application control

Core Technologies
The H3C WX2800X leverages several advanced technologies including CAPWAP for AP management, Bonjour Gateway for Apple device integration, Hotspot 2.0 (802.11u), WPA3 security, and IPv6 dual-stack support. It also employs intelligent RF management features such as auto channel selection, load balancing, and coverage hole detection.
Working Principle
The H3C WX2800X controller operates by centralizing the management of Fit APs. It handles authentication, security policy enforcement, and roaming coordination. User traffic can be forwarded centrally through the controller or distributed directly from the APs based on SSID and VLAN configurations. The system uses real-time monitoring to optimize RF channels, mitigate interference, and balance client load across APs.
Applications
This H3C controller is suited for:
- Small and medium enterprise WLAN deployments
- Branch office networks with integrated routing and wireless control
- Retail and campus environments requiring seamless roaming
- Scenarios demanding layered security and application-level policy enforcement
