Q: What is the most core advantage of the AD-Campus solution compared to traditional campus networks?
A: Its most core advantage is achieving "network following the user," which means users' network access is no longer restricted by network type, access method, IP address, or physical location. When a user's location changes, their service permissions, security policies, IP address, and other resources and policies can dynamically follow, enabling service mobility without requiring intervention from the network administrator.
Q: Our campus network scenario is complex (e.g., involving old campus renovation, optical network convergence, multi-service separation, etc.). Can the AD-Campus solution cover it?
A: Yes, it can cover it. The AD-Campus solution is designed to handle complex campus scenarios. It can simultaneously support VXLAN and traditional VLAN networking, adapting to both new and old network renovation needs. Specifically, it can cover scenarios such as access ring networks, wired-wireless convergence, optical network convergence (PON), multi-purpose networks (logical private networks), and intelligent identification of dumb terminals. Through VXLAN technology, virtual private networks can be established on the same physical network for different services such as office work, security monitoring, and one-card systems, achieving secure separation and meeting the "multi-purpose network" requirement.
Q: After introducing the SDN solution, will it change the original internet authentication habits and experience of teachers and students?
A: No, it will not. The AD-Campus solution can integrate with existing authentication systems, keeping users' original authentication experience unchanged. The solution offers excellent compatibility and flexibility. It also supports IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack services, enabling "one-time authentication, dual-stack access" to provide a seamless user experience. Additionally, by integrating high-performance wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi 7, it can create an always-accessible ubiquitous learning environment for teachers and students, enhancing the network access experience.
