Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When an AP goes online, ACs deliver their priorities to the AP. The AP selects the AC with the highest priority as the active AC and establishes a CAPWAP tunnel with the active AC.

Precautions

If the AC priority is configured in the WLAN view and AP system profile view before an AP goes online, the AC priority configured in the AP system profile view is delivered to the AP. If no AC priority is configured in the AP system profile view, the AC priority configured in the WLAN view is delivered to the AP.

If ACs deliver the same priorities to the AP, the AP selects the AC with the lowest AP load as the active AC. If both AC priorities and AP load are the same, the AP selects the AC with the lowest STA load as the active AC. If AC priorities, AP load, and STA load are the same, the AP selects the AC with the smallest IP address as the active AC to establish a CAPWAP tunnel. The AP or STA load equals the number of allowed APs or STAs minus the number of existing APs or STAs.

Example

# Set the AC priority to 3 in the AP system profile view.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan 
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] ap-system-profile name ap-system1
[HUAWEI-wlan-ap-system-prof-ap-system1] priority 3
