AP Onboarding Deployment Scenarios and System Behavior
Different deployment scenarios affect
system behavior during AP onboarding.
AP Onboarding and System Behavior
| Scenario | System Behavior and Connection Status |
|---|---|
| AP Onboarding | Refer to Workflow |
| AP belongs to specific SZ and zone | After RND proxies the AP request to a specific SZ and zone based on the AP Registration Rules, AP gets disconnected from RND and remains connected with SZ. Once the AP is onboarded to SZ, AP will not send discovery requests to RND. |
| AP in staging zone | If the AP is forwarded to a staging zone, AP remains connected to RND and SZ and the AP continues to send discovery requests to RND. |
| If the AP is redirected to a specific SZ and zone, AP gets disconnected from RND and remains connected with SZ and AP will not send discovery requests to RND. | |
| Later, if the AP is moved back to the staging zone, AP will not send discovery requests to RND. | |
| AP is unmanaged | If the default cluster is not configured, the AP keeps communicating with RND sending the discovery requests to RND. The AP will not connect to any SZ. |
