The following is true about the WLAN side-by-side networking.

The hangover network can perform WLAN deployment without modifying the physical topology of the live network, which facilitates network transformation.

When the network is bypassed, the AC can no longer bear the gateway of the service WLAN.

Using the “side-by-side networking + direct forwarding” network architecture can reduce the burden on the AC and improve network forwarding performance.

When the network is connected to the network, the AC can be connected to the aggregation layer or the core layer switch, but it must be the same network segment as the AP.
