this example, because this topology is within the the 4x rated AP capacity limit and maximum tunnel limit for
the a W-7210controller model.
If the network administrator later changed all the APs in this deployment to support 10 BSSIDs, each active
controller would use (512 * 10) tunnels, for a combined total of 20,480 tunnels on the four active controllers.
The tunnels required by the APs on the active controllers would then exceed the maximum tunnel limit for the
standby controller, so the standby controller can no longer support all APs on the active controllers.
AP Failover
If a standby controller reaches its AP oversubscription capacity or exceeds its maximum BSSID limit, the
standby controller drops any subsequent standby AP connections. A dropped AP attempts to reconnect to the
standby controller, but after it exceeds the maximum number of request retries, the AP informs the active
controller that it is unable to connect to the standby controller. The active controller then prompts the APto
create a standby tunnel to another standby controller, if one is configured.
If an active controller fails, the APs on the active controller fail over to the standby controller. Once the standby
controller has reached its capacity for active APs,it terminates tunnels to any standby APs that controller can
no longer serve. When these APs detect that there is no longer a heartbeat between the AP and the standby
controller, they notify their active controller that they can no longer connect to the standby. The active
controller then promptsthe APs to establish standby tunnels to another standby controller, if one is
configured.
