AP Load Balancing in a Cluster

  • 1.  AP Load Balancing in a Cluster

    Posted an hour ago

    Hello experts,

    Trying to understanding how the AP is load balanced in a Cluster. We have 2x7240 and 1x7210 in our Main cluster.

    We have never seen our cluster AP count 'balanced' on both 8.10 and now 8.12.

    Curious if the smaller controller is causing the uneven AP distribution or if there is some other configs we missed out.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    It looks like you haven't met the 20% threshold to rebalance the APs across the cluster because of the 7240XM capacity (#s are found in the datasheets, 20% of the number needs hit before a rebalance will trigger). To see it "balance", you'd need to lower the threshold even further, but you don't need to do this. You're not even at 20% capacity.

    How it works is documented here: https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_8.12.0_Web_Help/Content/arubaos-solutions/cluster/clus-load-bala.htm
