A customer's infrastructure is set up to use both primary and secondary gateway clusters on the SSID profile cased on best practices. Why do they have an equal split of their 120 APs across the primary and secondary gateway clusters?

When cluster preemption is not enabled, access points (APs) will not automatically fail back to the primary gateway cluster once it is up again after having failed over to the secondary. This would result in an equal split of APs across primary and secondary clusters if both clusters are operational. Without preemption, there's no automatic rebalancing of APs back to the primary cluster, leading to the current distribution.

But what if one cluster goes down? Wouldn't that be risky?

Definitely a best practice to avoid overload.

Wait, why would they split 120 APs evenly? Seems odd.

I think cluster preemption is key here.

Equal split helps with load balancing!

I vaguely remember something about the clusters needing to be up for proper distribution, but I’m not confident about the details on preemption settings.

I feel like the split of APs might be to ensure redundancy, but I can't recall if it's specifically tied to whether the clusters are homogeneous or heterogeneous.

I think we practiced a question about cluster preemption, and it seemed like it was important for failover scenarios. Could that be relevant here?

I remember discussing the importance of load balancing between primary and secondary clusters, but I'm not sure which option directly relates to that.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The question is asking about best practices, and the even split across the clusters points to option B being the correct answer.

Based on the information provided, my initial thought is that the answer is likely option D. The even split suggests the clusters are both active, and the lack of preemption would explain why they aren't failing over to one cluster.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. I'll need to re-read them a few times to make sure I understand the differences between the clusters and the preemption setting.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking about why the APs are split evenly between the primary and secondary clusters. I think the key is understanding the cluster preemption setting.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the details about the primary and secondary gateway clusters to figure out the right answer.

Option B is the way to go. Gotta love that cluster preemption - it's like having a backup pilot in case the primary one gets sick during the flight.

B: Definitely, it ensures that there is always a backup ready to take over in case of any issues with the primary cluster.

Wait, does this mean the APs can swap between the two clusters if one goes down? That's pretty cool, like a network version of musical chairs!
VI

Exactly! It's a way to ensure network reliability and minimize downtime.

Oh, I see. So the APs are evenly split to ensure that both clusters can handle the load if one goes down.

The primary gateway cluster has six nodes of different types, which helps with load balancing.
LE
Leeann

Yes, that's correct! The APs can switch between the primary and secondary clusters if needed.

But wouldn't it be better to have more APs on the primary cluster for better performance?

Hmm, I'm not sure about the heterogeneous and homogeneous cluster part. Wouldn't the primary and secondary clusters just need to be configured properly, regardless of the node types?
