Hi all,


this sounds like is a simple question, but I want a very simple explanation to understand.


what you mean by, direct forwarding and tunnel forwarding?


and how does this work on the wireless controller concept?


which one is better? does both have any advantages and disadvantages?

Hello friend!
In tunnel forwarding mode, APs encapsulate user data packets over a CAPWAP data tunnel and send them to an AC. The AC then forwards these packets to an upper-layer network.
In direct forwarding mode, APs forward user data packets to an upper-layer network without encapsulating them over a CAPWAP data tunnel.
In direct forwarding mode, all interfaces must allow all service VLANs. In tunnel forwarding mode, to prevent MAC address flapping, interfaces cannot allow service VLANs. You can refer to the link https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/doc/EDOC1100102756
Hope to help you!
