When the free mobility solution is deployed, Huawei devices and third-party devices cannot be deployed on the same network. For example, third-party devices cannot function as end user authentication points.
Huawei's free mobility solution is designed to provide seamless user access and authentication across a campus network, often integrating with Network Access Control (NAC) mechanisms like 802.1X, MAC authentication, or portal authentication. The HCSP-Presales-Campus Network Planning and Design V1.0 documentation specifies that the free mobility solution supports interoperability between Huawei devices and third-party devices within the same network.
Third-party devices, such as switches or access points, can function as end-user authentication points (e.g., 802.1X authenticators) as long as they comply with standard protocols like RADIUS or EAP. Huawei’s solution leverages open standards to ensure compatibility, allowing third-party devices to participate in authentication workflows.
