Configuring Node Affinity

Node affinity enables administrators to manually configure the controller nodes to which APs will connect.

To do this, set the order of preferred nodes on the node affinity page. Node affinity is implemented at the AP zone level, which means that all APs that belong to a zone will have the same node affinity settings.

If you want APs that belong to the same zone to connect to the same node whenever possible, you can configure set the preferred node for a particular zone.

NOTE
An affinity profile defines the order of the nodes to which APs that belong to the same zone will connect.
NOTE
Node affinity profile works only if it is restored in the same cluster. If the configuration must be restored to a different cluster, disable node affinity and remove the node affinity profiles containing nodes that are not available in the new cluster.
NOTE
Node affinity is not supported on the vSZ-H and vSZ-D platforms.
