AP Switchover

In this section:

  1. Configuring AP Switchover
    5.0 Update
    5.1.1 update - SZ300/vSZH (Staging Zone), SZ100/vSZE (Default Zone)
    AP switchover is the moving of APs between clusters, and is not confined to clusters that enable cluster redundancy. For normal clusters, you can switchover APs with firmware later or equal to R5.0, regardless of whether it is in the Staging or Non-staging Zone in High-scale platform and Default or Non-default Zone in the Essentials platform. But for a standby cluster in cluster redundancy, APs in the Staging or Default Zone can only be moved to another cluster by switchover.
  2. Switch Over Managed APs and External DPs
    5.1 Update - reused across platforms
    Switchover helps move APs / external DPs between clusters that are not confined to cluster, which enable cluster redundancy. For normal clusters you can switchover APs regardless of staging zone with firmware version 5.0 or later and external DPs with version 5.1 or later. For a standby cluster in cluster redundancy, APs in Staging Zone can only be moved to another cluster by switchover. You can switch over per AP or APs per Zone. However, you can switch over only per data plane.
