Product Features

High Capacity & Powerful Performance
The AC6508 is built to support growing networks, managing up to 512 access points—ideal for small and medium-sized campuses. It comes equipped with 2×10GE optical ports and 10×GE electrical ports, delivering forwarding performance of up to 10 Gbit/s.

SmartRadio Air Interface Optimization

Smart Roaming Load Balancing
As users move between access points, the AC6508 automatically balances the load. This ensures that no AP becomes overloaded, improving overall network stability and user experience.

Intelligent DFA Technology
The Dynamic Frequency Assignment algorithm automatically detects both adjacent-channel and co-channel interference. It can identify redundant 2.4 GHz radios and switch their mode— including shifting to 5 GHz on dual-5G models—helping reduce interference and boost system capacity.

Intelligent Conflict Optimization
Using enhanced EDCA and airtime scheduling, the device fairly allocates channel time and service priority to users. This helps maintain smooth performance even in high-density environments.

Multiple Built-In Roles

The AC6508 includes an integrated Portal/AAA server, offering Portal and 802.1X authentication without needing extra hardware—reducing deployment costs.

Flexible Networking Options

You can deploy the AC6508 in inline, bypass, bridge, or Mesh modes.
It supports both centralized and local forwarding, and APs can connect across Layer 2 or Layer 3. Even if APs sit behind NAT on a private network and the AC is on a public network, the system remains fully functional.

It works with all Huawei 802.11n, 802.11ac, and 802.11ax APs, making it easy to scale or mix different generations of access points.

Built-In Application Identification

• Identifies over 6000 applications from Layer 4–Layer 7, including office tools and major apps like YouTube, Facebook, FaceTime, and Lync.

• Supports policies such as traffic blocking, bandwidth limiting, and priority adjustments.

• Automatically updates its application signature database.

Comprehensive Reliability

• Supports 1+1 HSB and N+1 backup, ensuring services stay online even if a device fails.

• Offers port redundancy using LACP or MSTP.

• In local forwarding mode, if APs lose connection to the AC, current users stay online and new connections can still be made—keeping service uninterrupted.

Integrated Visual Network Management

The AC6508 includes an easy-to-use web interface with full monitoring and intelligent diagnostics.

Health-Focused One-Page Monitoring

A single dashboard displays key real-time KPIs—such as user performance, radio health, and AP status—through clear, visual graphs. This helps administrators quickly understand network conditions without digging through complex data.
