Fabric-Mode Access Points

The fabric-mode APs are Cisco Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and 802.11ac Wave 2 APs associated with the fabric WLC that have been configured with one or more fabric-enabled SSIDs. Fabric-mode APs continue to support the same wireless media services that traditional APs support such as applying AVC, quality of service (QoS), and other wireless policies.  Fabric APs establish a CAPWAP control plane tunnel to the fabric WLC and join as local-mode APs.  They must be directly connected to the fabric edge node or extended node switch in the fabric site.  For their data plane, Fabric APs establish a VXLAN tunnel to their first-hop fabric edge switch where wireless client traffic is terminated and placed on the wired network.

Fabric APs are considered a special case wired host.  Edge nodes use Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) to recognize APs as these wired hosts, apply specific port configurations, and assign the APs to a unique overlay network called INFRA_VN.  As a wired host, access points have a dedicated EID-space and are registered with the control plane node.  This EID-space is associated with a predefined overlay network called INFRA_VN in the Cisco DNA Center UI as shown in Figure 10.  It is a common EID-space (prefix space) and common virtual network for all fabric APs within a fabric site.  The assignment to this overlay virtual network allows management simplification by using a single subnet to cover the AP infrastructure at a fabric site.
