Hi, @dkamarova!


The leader AP is an extended function of a Fat AP. Like a WAC, a Fat AP can work with multiple Fit APs to form a WLAN. Fat APs manage and configure fit APs in a unified manner to provide a roaming wireless network for users.
For more information about the leader AP, see the product documentation of V200R020C10.


You can refer to the following link: https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/wlan/airengine-8700-pid-250400194.


I hope it helps!
