1. PVM/SVM election priority:
AP1320/AP1360 > AP1311 > AP1220/AP1230/AP1251/AP1201 > AP1101/AP1201H/AP1201L/AP1201HL
2. Among the APs with same priority, the one with highest MAC address will be selected as PVM, the second
highest MAC address AP will be selected as SVM.
3. AP1101/AP1201H/AP1201L/AP1201HL as PVM in the cluster, it can scale to 32 APs.
4. AP1320/AP1360/AP1311/AP1220/AP1230/AP1251/AP1201 as PVM in the cluster, it can scale to 255 APs.
5. The idea in general is to be able to have enough resiliency in the network design, so if there is a cluster
size >64 always there is either (AP1220 series, AP1230 series, A1251, AP1320 series or AP1360 series,
AP1311) to take up PVM/SVM role. Recommend in network segments of every 64 APs there are at least
4x APs of either AP1220 series, AP1230 series, AP1251, AP1320 series, AP1360 series or AP1311.
6. For resiliency deployment, to scale to 64 APs you will need at least 4 AP12XX (AP1220/AP1230/AP1251)
or 4 AP13xx (AP1320/AP1360/AP1311) in the cluster.
7. For resiliency deployment, to scale even further for 255 APs you will need at least 16 AP12XX
(AP1220/AP1230/AP1251) or 16 AP13XX (AP1320/AP1360/AP1311) in the cluster.
8. If AP1201 coexists with AP1220/AP1230/AP1251 in the same cluster, and AP1201 is selected as PVM by
the system automatically, suggest to manually intervene and turn one of the AP1220/AP1230/AP1251 to
be PVM for better management performance consideration. (See “Update to PVM” parameter in Chapter 4 –
AP Window)
9. If a higher priority AP joins an existed AP group, it will take over the PVM role. For example, an AP1221
will become PVM after it joins an existed pure AP1101 group, and the old PVM will change to SVM or
member in the AP group.
