In an SVF system, ASs and APs share the CAPWAP link specifications. That is, the maximum number of ASs and APs cannot exceed the maximum number of CAPWAP links. For example, when an S12710 functions as the parent in an SVF system and 256 ASs have connected to the SVF system, a maximum of 5888 (6144-256) APs can connect to the SVF system.

If DTLS encryption is configured for packets transmitted in a CAPWAP tunnel, recommendations on the maximum number of ASs and APs supported on the parent are as follows:

S12704, S12708, S12710, S12712, S12700E-4, S12700E-8, S12700E-12: The maximum numbers of ASs and APs do not exceed 32 and 96 respectively.
S9712, S9706, S7712, S7706, S7706 PoE, S9703, S7703, S7703 PoE, S6720-HI, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731S-H, S5732-H: The maximum numbers of ASs and APs do not exceed 16 and 48 respectively.
S9303, S9306, S9310, S9312: The maximum numbers of ASs do not exceed 16.
S6720-EI, S6720S-EI, S6720-SI, S6720S-SI, S6730-S, S6730S-S: The maximum numbers of ASs do not exceed 16.
The preceding AS or AP specifications apply to scenarios where all ASs or APs go online. If both ASs and APs go online, it is recommended that the value of AS*3+AP do not exceed the maximum number of APs.
When the number of ASs or APs exceeds the maximum value, a high CPU usage may occur, affecting existing services.

AS Group/Port Group Specifications in Profile-based Configuration Mode

Group Type	Maximum Number of Groups	Bound Service Profile Type	Description
AS group	16	AS administrator profile	An AS can be added to only one AS group. An AS port group can be bound to only one AS administrator profile.
AS port group	256 (versions earlier than V200R011C10) 512 (V200R011C10 and later versions)	Network basic profile Network enhanced profile User access profile Network QoS profile (Only V200R013C00 and later versions support this profile.) Traffic policy profile (Only V200R019C00 and later versions support this profile.)	A port can be added to only one port group (an AS port group or AP port group). V200R007C00 and V200R008C00: All ports of an AS can be assigned to a maximum of 6 AS port groups in total. V200R009C00 and later versions: All ports of an AS can be assigned to a maximum of 32 AS port groups in total. An AS port group can be bound to a network basic profile, network enhanced profile, user access profile, traffic policy profile, and network QoS profile. All ports on an AS can be bound to a maximum of six network QoS profiles.
AP port group	1	Network basic profile	An AP port group can be bound to only one network basic profile.
