Maximum Supported AP and Switch Management

The tables below list the maximum supported resources between APs and switches.

SmartZone 6.1.x support dynamic (linear) AP/Switch capacity based on capacity ratio. No AP/Switch mode, only mix mode and AP/Switch support number base on total amount connect AP/Switch capacity.

Capacity Ratio

High scale profile with higher switch support capacity to 5:1 from 8:1
vSZ-H L6 ~ L8
5:1 (10000 AP : 2000 switches)

Example: Calculating the Total Capacity

  • 200 APs + 100 switches (1:5)

    (200 x 1) + (100 x 5) = 700 (Total Capacity) This requirement could use L5, since the total capacity is smaller than 1,000.

  • 400 APs + 10 switches (1:5)

    (400 x 1) + (10 x 5) = 450 (Total Capacity) This requirement could use L4, since the total capacity is smaller than 500.

Note: These required resources may change from release to release. Before upgrading, always check the required resource tables for the release to which you are upgrading.
